the messaging situation on nostr is abominable

i can send myself messages between amethyst and coracle on my phone

i seem to be able to get messages to go across between flotilla and coracle on my pc

but i can't get coracle to coracle, or amethyst to coracle, or amethyst to nostrudel to work between pc and phone

annoying, because i'd rather not put lnurls from my phone into my email, even if they are encrypted, i don't particularly trust proton, at least no more than i trust rando relay operators and nip-04 nip-44 encryption, but it's more laborious to use email because the dumb shit also has more steps instead of just copy paste send, it's copy enter my own email address once again, paste, send, yes no fucking subject line, check email, copy from ...

hm maybe if i had an app on my phone that connected to my alby hub, that's what alby go is i think... but >_< every which way i look it's one compromise after another

this is for sure something my nostr relay chat proposal will fix because it isn't gonna make dumb assumptions about who can read and both sides will be my own code and the message doesn't even get stored anyway, as well as being encrypted for a DM in NRC

some day soon™️

nostr dms in general are a disaster in terms of every single thing possible

yeah, i have a whole litany i can recite about how it has been fucked up... this nonsense with nip-44 especially... as a moderately experienced cryptographer i can assure you they didn't substantially improve anything over AES-AEAD that nip-04 gives you, but instead, has led to a huge problem with interop between clients
