It natively integrates BIP-39, allowing every Vector account to function as a crypto wallet and vice versa, streamlining tasks like address sharing and payments through compatibility with native wallets like MPW. Vector leverages local, private, device-powered AI to provide practical features such as voice message transcription, language translation, and meme gif search via a decentralized relay-based index.

image Recently brought to our attention, a lot people are concerned about testing out newer apps in the "Age of AI" and rightfully concerned about vibe-coded apps... their true levels of privacy, security, and reliability. With that said, we took time to add to our GitBook docs a page on AI Usage & Transparency that covers how we address AI and its relevance in Vector's development. ⚠️ Zero Blind Commits Policy Every single pull request and commit on GitHub is manually reviewed by the founder and senior developer. Not a single commit or contribution, regardless of whether AI was involved in writing it, has ever been pushed without review by the senior developer and other team members. AI is not perfect, and neither are human developers, but peer review is a crucial part of quality control and the foundational reason why open-source technology is often more trustworthy and resilient in practice. We also go deeper into our workflow, where and how AI is utilized with full transparency into our development process. To read the full AI & Transparency Policy, visit here:
GM, Nostr 🦩 We're happy to share that we've updated all of our GitBook docs to be on par with the latest v0.4.0 release. There were a lot of new pages and sections added, as well as some more images and GIFs of screen recordings. Some people had requested they wanted a section to learn more of "How it Works", so we added that on the landing page that takes you straight to the privacy and tech stack. Take a peek: image GitBook serves as our real introduction to Vector for newcomers, whether for your average person or developers, though it probably doesn't need to be said, but devs can always go straight to GitHub. 🟢 V E C T O R - M E S S E N G E R image Learn more about Vector Messenger, how the app works, as well as all of the features explained: 🟢 V E C T O R - S D K image Last but not least, the new Vector SDK (vector-core) has been updated and docs have been expanded upon: The best way to stay up to date with Vector's development is to join the Vector Community on Vector at chat.vectorapp.io. If there are any features left out or things you all would like covered in the docs that aren't there, feel free to request them.
We have finally arrived at the point where we can consider Vector at an MVP state. More or less it was touched upon with v0.4.0, but v0.4.1 will be the baseline moving forward. It only took a year and a half of development, but wouldn't have made it this far without you all. The next version will patch just about every issue, bug, and request we've heard from the community, other than an iOS release (planned Q3-Q4) and we will open up testing shortly for our community and anyone else who would like to get involved.
