New project: Nostr Scrutiny, fact sheets about Nostr clients.
https://scrutiny.hivescope.xyzFor each client it puts side by side what the app stores say, what the privacy policy says, what the published code shows, and what the app does when you open it in a browser:
- who is behind it
- where your keys live, and whether it signs without holding them
- whether the code you can read is the code you run
- what it collects, and who it talks to
Facts and sources only: no scores, no verdicts. Where the sources disagree, the sheet says so.
First five: Amethyst, Damus, Nostrich, Primal and Quill (mine, same checks). Method and data are open:
