Our first AQSTR campaign, Help the world discover Keychat, has now concluded. Thank you to everyone who participated, and to AQSTR for providing such a beautifully designed tool. View quoted note →

We’re incredibly grateful to all the users who’ve been recommending Keychat. Keychat relies on our users’ word of mouth to reach more people. View quoted note →

We feel that AQSTR @AQSTR could become the Product Hunt of Nostr, and that more and more apps will start launching there. We discovered ZapWork @zapwork while browsing AQSTR.

Keychat doesn’t remake the beads — it simply threads the pearls that already exist into a coherent whole. View quoted note →

@Stacker News We love how Stacker News charges 1 sat per reply — it immediately made us think of Keychat relays, where a 1-sat digital stamp is required before a message gets forwarded. If Stacker News added an “Open Wallet” button beneath the invoice, paying right inside the Keychat browser would feel much smoother.

Non-technical users can verify whether Keychat’s high-level design is sound — you don’t have to be a developer to do so. View quoted note →

In the Keychat browser, you can log in to Stacker.news with your Keychat ID and start posting right away — that’s the power of an autonomous public-key ID.

Keychat’s goal of building an autonomous online Me serves as the thread that strings together existing beads — the Nostr protocol, Bitcoin graduated wallets (currently Cashu ecash), the Signal and MLS protocols, and Web Apps via WebView. View quoted note →

When you use multiple Chat IDs in Keychat, you don’t have to inconveniently switch back and forth — all your IDs are displayed as tabs across the top.

The new version of Keychat we’re working on can receive Nostr DMs (NIP-4 and NIP-17) and reply to them. However, the end-to-end encryption scheme for Nostr DMs always uses the Nostr ID’s private key for encryption and lacks both forward secrecy and post-compromise security (PCS). If the private key is ever compromised, all past and future messages are at risk of being decrypted by others. Because of this, Keychat labels Nostr DMs as “weak encryption” and displays a danger warning in the top-right corner.

@Fountain Fountain developers, please consider this feature request. View quoted note →

We’ve realized that this interaction isn’t intuitive for users, and we’re working on a redesigned version. View quoted note →
