Nostr architecture solves so much by removing the requirement of a trusted server.
White Noise uses Message Layer Security, an IETF standard with numerous audits and security proofs. The nostr-mls wrapper has been peer reviewed but not yet audited. I think the cryptography is sound.
Best thing is that it's an open standard and there will be countless implementations that do one thing really well. Looking forward to that variety.

I don't doubt the security of the crypto at all, nor MLS. I am just very cautious. WhiteNoise is clearly designed with care and caution. I have given both WhiteNoise and Keychat good praise as emerging apps in GrapheneOS public chat -- mostly as a Session replacement so far. Regulars have also said they were open to test them further and try them out.
