Signature and encryption are separated. You still sign all your events. But use a group cipher key, which is different from group identity key, to encrypt. But rotating this cipher key, you can kick out people. Not implemented yet.

We probably have to start with Android because iOS is so controlled anyway.

After 8 months of working on Blowater, I realized 2 things:

1. My programming skills were shit.

2. I could be at least 10X more skillful in this craft and I have never been this confident in my craft.

NIP24 looks very tempting. I want to release the group chat and get the UX right first. Then I can refactor the implementation. Therefore, Group Chat will go through at least 3 months of unstable time.

Mobile is the plan for the whole November.

Notification on Desktop has been working for a while but currently taken down for some minor improvements.

Notificaiton on Mobile, not clear to me yet. Need to investigate more.

Encrypted Group Chat has been implemented! Will bug fix and fine tune some details before public release.

But I believe the implementation is changible. Need to get people using it and get some feedbacks.

This implementation also has some weirdly interesting features that I believe to be super useful for community engagement for group creators/admins

Such a crazy weekend

Learning to forgive and forget is so hard. But life is limited. If we carry too much negativity with us, we don’t have enough load for positivity.

Yes, this is https://blowater.app, the desktop Nostr DM app.

The weird feature is that you can send DM to the group npub as if you are talking to the group admin, separately from the group chat.

A short demo for Encrypted Group Chat. Can you notice the super werid but useful feature?

“What’s a relay’s “users”? ” It's philosophically hard to answer this question.
