Biggest need in Nostr by far: Private Group Chats.

This would literally kill Telegram, kik, signal, matrix etc

That's the idea

Would need a nip for that in my opinion.

Yep... And some damn good cryptography

I will look into it.

Like TG? Or what do you mean?

But yes, let’s decentralize everything 🤩

It should be very soon. It's very similar to what the telegram does ?

More useful for me, and quicker to implement, would be a channels concept. I'd like to organize who I follow into filtered groups of closer friends and more global contacts.

that's the tags thing. i think there's already a NIP for that

Privte chats that the names cant be seen at all

i wrote a proposal for it a while back: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr/issues/129

no new messages needed. just a NIP so everyone does it the same way. will write one up if anyone cares and if #[4] thinks its worth doing

There are several issues with NIP-04

应该搞一个私人聊天组,有提示音更好。

does it make sense to implement something like that as multi-sig, but with 1 of n as the schema? as in, signed for n keys, but any one of them can sign?

It would indeed be very useful. Unfortunately if similar to the current design it would tell everyone who is in the group. A different design might be possible using blinding techniques but that introduces new problems like I'm not sure how relays can DoS limit it.

I like Slashtags for this, where privacy matters zero metadata is the way to go imo

How do you rate limit that?

And private payments, like a none zap option.

Private payments already exist:

Private zaps are coming soon.

Not in the note view, I have to go to profile and that adds a lot of ekstra steps. Should be able to set this as default for all tipping also via notes.

Haha Just me nagging vigor about this last few days. I can't tip zap enabled accounts via the lightning icon under their posts anonymously, and its really annoying that regular anonymous lightning tips now are second class citizens on nostr.

Yes please! #[2] desperately need Chatteu chat on Nostr

The gang’s all here!

Nostr nests looks promising.

Yes. And Meanwhile improvements to public groups eg post to many relays or gossip, ie something that improved group chat messages visibility.

What do you think about adding bookmarks?

An easier useful feature would be something like Twitter's moderated communities. It's easier in that there is no expectation of member list privacy which is a difficult thing for Nostr to do anyway.

Here's my example Twitter community. A few moderators have the power to hide off-topic posts to keep signal high within this small special interest group.

Exactly my thoughts a few minutes ago. End to end encrypted and censor proof. It would be amazing. What prevents group DMs now?

Why not just implrment Nostr into Matrix/Element? We don't host photos natively on Nostr, why do we need to host private chat rooms? (Asking because I don't know.)

There's already a nostr-matrix bridge

THIS

That would be awesome

I would first try to address the privacy nightmare with NIP04 metadata 😉

Yeah as well as the potential for spam. For example with the use of NIP-57, NIP-13 to request DM (if previously unknown) and then the rest of the DMs can be bootstrapped from there.

Dark mode would be nice 🥹

I strongly agree!

Yes

private group chat

also we should have video chat and voice chat

is it possible through nostr? #[2]

2nd biggest need: easier gifs and memes.

Would be legit!

Signal protocol?

I believe it is reducing client lag for now!

Yes! This would be huge.

Agreed that should be its own NIP. Probably possible to implement within a NIP-04 (DM to group with inner headers) but why force it.

is someone working on this already?

Now, Biggest need in Nostr by far: Block Notes by Keyword. If this can't be solved, many people will leave.
