MLS over Nostr - 13th September 2024

This is the seventh in a series of weekly(ish) updates detailing progress on bringing MLS protocol DMs and group messaging to Nostr.

Previous Updates

Progress this week

I was told recently that my update walls of text are too much. So, I’ll try to keep things concise this week. 😅

This week has been all about building the reference implementation, which is quickly becoming a full-fledged client instead of just a reference implementation. I’ve not quite gotten to the MLS portion of the client yet but it does already support multiple accounts (including ephemeral accounts) and loads legacy (NIP-04) chats and full contact lists. So far, I’ve not implemented NIP-104 so there’s not yet any updates to the MLS spec or other dependencies.

If you’ve got experience with using messengers in hostile environments (authoritarian regimes, you’ve been de-platformed, etc.) please get in touch. I’d love to hear more about what you’d like to see in a communication tool.

In the meantime, I’ll be over here in the corner coding with my headphones on. 👨‍💻

Onward and Upwards!
