nip29 is not private or encrypted in any way, its just a way to do community groups without tons of noise.. if you run the relay, then it's more hidden because you can gate reading with auth.. #nerdstuff

(so, similar to IRC but with nostr ident) an IRC server also can see everything..
on mobile this app has some serious bugs. mostly the reply in thread view can quickly fall off the bottom of the page and doesn't allow scroll. i'm fixing that now and also making the post open the feed page where it inlines the compose at the top of the feed for OPs. the not-jumping-to-feed for compose is just annoying but the reply modal is impossible to use effectively. i hate react.
yes, the relay holds a key and is a superuser. nothing is encrypted, and that relay key also manages the groups on the relay (like a bot)
