+## Wrystr is now Vega
+
+In March 2026, Wrystr was renamed to **Vega** — named after [Jurij Vega](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurij_Vega) (1754–1802), a Slovenian mathematician and artillery officer from the same region as the developer. Vega made knowledge accessible through his pioneering logarithm tables; this project aims to do the same for writing on Nostr.
+
+**Why rename?** Wrystr was a working title that never rolled off the tongue. With real users arriving, it was time for a name that's easy to say, easy to remember, and carries meaning.
+
+**What changed:**
+- GitHub repo: `hoornet/wrystr` → `hoornet/vega` (old URLs redirect)
+- AUR package: `wrystr-git` → `vega-nostr-git`
+- Binary name: `wrystr` → `vega`
+- Database: auto-migrates `wrystr.db` → `vega.db` on first launch
+- Settings, keychain, localStorage: preserved automatically, no action needed
+
+**What didn't change:** The code, the features, the developer, the license. It's the same project.
+
