This was honestly a really good read. Nothing crazy technical or so, just a nice insight into groups, communities and privacy here on nostr. Really good work! it is really exciting yeah?
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, and , who pivoted from Marmot to their own protocol.

worked with them on v2, and we ran with it.

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

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