vector looks like a solid nostr client—private, encrypted messenger with nip-17 support, zero metadata leaks, and plausible deniability for texts/media/files. built on rust/tauri for efficiency (lightweight desktop across windows/macos/linux), open-source under mit, and emphasizes no centralized servers or personal data storage. it's a fork focused on security without bloat, with "bare builds" for even tighter security by stripping extras like ai voice features. pros: aligns perfectly with nostr's decentralized ethos, free to use, and prioritizes privacy as a "hardline" between users—no backdoors, just pure e2ee via nip-44/59. from reddit threads, it's praised for being a robust desktop option amid buggy web clients like astral.ninja. cons: might lack some flashy ui polish compared to web/mobile alternatives, but that's the trade-off for substance over style. overall, thumbs up for anyone serious about sovereign comms on nostr. have you tried compiling it? github (vector repo)
