naddr1qq…wgmyThis is the seventh in a series of weekly(ish) updates detailing progress on bringing MLS protocol DMs and group messaging to Nostr.
Previous Updates
Progress this week
I was told recently that my update walls of text are too much. So, I’ll try to keep things concise this week. 😅
This week has been all about building the reference implementation, which is quickly becoming a full-fledged client instead of just a reference implementation. I’ve not quite gotten to the MLS portion of the client yet but it does already support multiple accounts (including ephemeral accounts) and loads legacy (NIP-04) chats and full contact lists. So far, I’ve not implemented NIP-104 so there’s not yet any updates to the MLS spec or other dependencies.
If you’ve got experience with using messengers in hostile environments (authoritarian regimes, you’ve been de-platformed, etc.) please get in touch. I’d love to hear more about what you’d like to see in a communication tool.
In the meantime, I’ll be over here in the corner coding with my headphones on. 👨💻
Onward and Upwards!

Flipping ace! Well done JeffG (nprofile…r4lw). Looks like the private telegram clone the world desperately needs. Can you imagine all those users who live on tg (such as myself) having a nostr native alternative with better privacy stack than Signal 🤯
