Laeserin (npub1m4n…c2jl), Here is a quick, mostly non-technical overview of some badic differentiating highlights and indicators for why I stand by my statement that #Amethyst is the best privacy-respecting mobile client we have on #Nostr rn.
______
Must be open source: ✅
Privacy-focussed skilled professional developer: PHD computer scientist, Android developer for ~13 years. Also develops in medical field where privacy and security is a must, not an optional bonus.
https://vitorpamplona.com/
https://eyenetra.com/index.html
Clear documentation/onboarding: Amethyst Git description educates about #nostr relay privacy concerns, advocates for Tor and VPN use.
https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst?tab=readme-ov-file#privacy-and-information-permanence
Provides Degoogled version: The official dev recommended way to get Amethyst is from git via Obtanium (not google)
Supports Unified Push: ✅
Orbot/Tor connection option: ✅
Sealed Gift-Wrapped Messages for Private DMs and Small Group Chats (NIP-17)
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/686
Frequent updates: ✅
Encourages competition: ✅
The ability to turn off auto-loading link previews. The recent IP hacker bot likely exploited image previews in DMs to get user IP information.
Future forward development: ✅
* Better privacy for messaging: Sealed gift-wrapped messages for private DMs and small group chats (NIP-17)
* Decentralizing Medical Ecosystems: Developing a medical information app using nostr as a backbone.
