We’ve been chasing private messaging on Nostr for years. NIP-04. NIP-17. NIP-29. Our own Universes. Marmot. Every one taught us something, none of them was the whole answer.

Now it is. Encrypted communities, no company in the middle, and we run our entire team on it.

It’s built on the Concord Protocol by the Vector team, @JSKitty and @YuurinBee, who pivoted from Marmot to their own protocol.

@Alex Gleason worked with them on v2, and we ran with it.

A tip of the hat to Flotilla @hodlbod for leading the NIP-29 charge, too.

I wrote the whole messy, honest story, including the dead ends.
