For those who still don't know, even though it's disclosed on our website and in the App Store listings, Nostrich is operated by RHXO. It stands for Reserve Holdings Exclusively Orange, and we're a Bitcoin-native company. We're planning to pursue public quotation, subject to SEC and other applicable regulatory requirements. We'll continue promoting decentralization, privacy, and open protocols. These are the principles behind everything we're building, and we want every Nostr user to be part of our long-term journey. We can build a network of 3,000 active users and try to keep everyone happy, or we can bring millions of people into an open, decentralized protocol where they control their own keys, identity, and data, even if that means simplifying onboarding in ways that challenge the traditional Nostr experience. We're choosing the latter.

For those who are philosophically opposed to Google, Pomegranate can also support other identity providers, including phone numbers, email, a group of family members, or even no provider at all. We're starting with Google simply because it's widely used. Learn more about Pomegranate here.

Decentralized GitHub alternative over Nostr for browsing repositories, managing issues, and collaborating on pull requests.

🛡️🔐 GM, Nostr! Nostrich will soon support Google login, making it easier for people who have never used Nostr to get started with a single tap. We're building it on Pomegranate, an open standard for Google login on Nostr. Your private key is managed using FROST threshold signatures, with key shares distributed across independent operators. Google never sees your private key, and Nostrich never stores it. Under the hood, Google login uses a standard NIP-46 remote signer. This means if you sign in with Google on another Nostr app that supports Pomegranate, you can use the same Nostr identity on Nostrich, and vice versa. The goal is simple: lower the barrier to entry without compromising decentralization. With this implementation, we're targeting people who have never used Nostr before. All existing sign-in options will remain unchanged, and users signing in with Google will receive reminders about the importance of owning and backing up their private keys.

🚀 After a month of back and forth with Apple, Nostrich Deck is finally approved and live on the Mac App Store! Another big milestone as we bring Nostrich to more devices and platforms. https://nostrich.org/downloads

☀️⛵ GM, Nostr! Another major performance optimization went live last night, specifically targeting Android and iOS devices. Our isolated tests across different devices showed a 20–30% improvement in page transition speeds. Things should feel even faster and smoother now.

Nostrich Marketplace is launching soon, connecting sellers around the world with buyers using #Bitcoin.

📈 Cashtags on Nostrich now show an asset’s price when a note was posted, its current price, and the % change since the post.

📸 Nostrich Gallery is coming soon. A simple toggle that transforms your feed and the entire Nostrich app into an Instagram-like experience. Some days we don't feel like reading, we just want to scroll through photos and visual content. That's exactly where Nostrich Gallery comes in. Content curation will be a big challenge as Nostr grows, but we're up for it.

Nostrich never signs in to someone else's relay to deliver a DM, by choice, for privacy. It's a feature, not a bug.

Some NIP-17 inbox relays refuse to accept a gift wrap (kind 1059) unless the sender first signs in with NIP-42 AUTH. Signing that kind 22242 sign-in event with your own key puts your pubkey on the same connection that delivers a wrap addressed to the recipient. The relay can then link sender to recipient, which is exactly the metadata gift wraps are designed to hide. That's a privacy invasion in our opinion, so Nostrich will never sign in to someone else's relay to deliver a DM. What Nostrich does instead: every gift wrap is signed with a one-time random key and published to the recipient's DM relays (their kind 10050 list), with no sign-in. Nostrich only signs in to your own DM relays, to read the wraps addressed to you, which is the protection NIP-17 asks relays to provide. If none of the recipient's DM relays accept it, Nostrich tells you the message wasn't delivered. It's a privacy feature, not a bug.
