The current version of Nostr Nests isn't open source because Semisol doesn't want to open source his indexer verification code. I asked dozens of times over the past year.

Thankfully, the rewrite of Nostr Nests will be fully open source. The way I've always wanted.

Unlike Corny Chat, Nostr Nests will be a full fledged Nostr client that's built from the ground up to be Nostr native. 🔥🔥🔥

This is truly important. It won't be based on spaghetti code from a third party vendor, with bolt ons or add-ons trying to bring Nostr additions to software built without Nostr in mind.

Yes, Nests took a long time to find a proper developer to bring my vision forward, but the wait will be worth it. Kieran is an amazing developer. Karnage is incredibly talented designer.

It's all coming together so nicely. I'm excited for everyone to use Nests themselves but also for people to run their own instances themselves to help decentralize the audio backend of Nests across many server instances. Another major difference.

So, get your sats ready. The bounties will need paid soon.
