Keet is not open source, simplex integration with nostr would be awesome, there’s also https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1206 haven’t gone through it yet, but looks promising on the surface.
Nostr is good at resisting suppression of public messages
It’s not really designed to be a great private messenger/DM architecture
I know some people were working on better DM stuff on nostr (nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn, others?)
Then there are different architectures/ideas like SimpleX, Keet, and maybe KeyChat coming soon.
What are the best DM/messaging tools today that fully open source, secure, and private?

nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc what’s the story here? 🧐
It's basically adapting the signal protocol to work on nostr using relays instead of centralized servers. KeyChat did something on their own but they told me that they based it on Signal as well.
The double ratchet means that it's both forward (back into the past) and post-compromise (forward into the future) secure, which means, even if your private keys are leaked, the attacker can't read your messages.
Give me a shout if you want to talk through it. There are still limitations to how good of a UI we can build (yet) but I'm confident it's going to be a huge leap forward for security of nostr DMs.
most of keet is open source, and most of the rest you can still view it
This is just the protocol though? Is the keet client open source?
