- Rust: store_nsec / load_nsec / delete_nsec Tauri commands via keyring crate (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service) - On nsec login: key is stored in OS keychain keyed by hex pubkey - On startup: restoreSession() auto-loads nsec from keychain and re-establishes the NDK signer — no manual re-login required after restart - On logout: keychain entry is deleted - Graceful degradation: if keychain is unavailable (e.g. Linux without a Secret Service daemon), the app starts logged-out — same UX as before, no crash Also updates ROADMAP.md with 4 new items from the Windows playtest (multi-account switcher, NWC wizard, system tray, zap history view) and reorders the list.

# Wrystr — Next Steps Roadmap
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Vision note: more than a Nostr client
|
||
|
||
Wrystr is not just a great desktop Nostr client. **Long-form content is a first-class,
|
||
distinguishing feature of this project** — not an afterthought, not a checkbox NIP.
|
||
|
||
The article editor (NIP-23), the reading experience, the writing tools around it — these
|
||
set Wrystr apart from other clients and define its identity. Think of it as a publishing
|
||
platform that happens to live on Nostr, not a social feed that happens to support articles.
|
||
|
||
> **TODO — brainstorm needed:** What does "owning long-form on Nostr desktop" actually
|
||
> look like? Reading experience, discovery, editor features, monetization via zaps,
|
||
> cross-posting, author identity — all of this needs a dedicated design session.
|
||
> Leave this as an open thread until we sit down to work through it properly.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Up next
|
||
|
||
### 1. OS Keychain via Rust (Tauri backend)
|
||
- Security-critical: private keys currently live in NDK signer memory only
|
||
- nsec sessions don't survive app restart — keychain fixes this permanently
|
||
- Tauri has keychain plugins ready (`tauri-plugin-keychain`)
|
||
|
||
### 2. Multi-account / profile switcher
|
||
- Nostr users regularly maintain separate identities (personal, professional, pseudonymous)
|
||
- Near-blocker-level friction discovered during Windows playtest — session re-login every
|
||
restart is currently the #1 UX pain point
|
||
- Depends on OS keychain (#1) — keys must persist for instant switching
|
||
- UI: small account switcher in sidebar footer; click → list of saved accounts; one click to switch
|
||
- No re-login flow — switching is instant once accounts are stored in keychain
|
||
- v1: stored nsec accounts only; v2 could add NIP-46 remote signer support
|
||
|
||
### 3. SQLite note caching
|
||
- Notes disappear on every restart — no local persistence
|
||
- Would make the app feel dramatically more solid and fast
|
||
- Rust backend is the right place for this
|
||
|
||
### 4. About / Funding page
|
||
- Hardcoded in-app page with all support options
|
||
- Bitcoin on-chain address with scannable QR code
|
||
- Lightning address with scannable QR code
|
||
- Zap button (zap the developer's npub directly from within the app)
|
||
- Links: GitHub (hoornet), Ko-fi/Jure, and any other funding sources
|
||
- Lives in the sidebar footer or as a dedicated view — tasteful, never nagging
|
||
- Ties into the zap infrastructure already built
|
||
|
||
### 5. Mute / ignore user + anti-spam
|
||
- "Ignore this user" from profile or note context menu (NIP-51 mute list)
|
||
- Mute list persisted to Nostr so it follows you across clients
|
||
- Settings toggles for basic spam filters (e.g. hide notes from accounts < N days old,
|
||
hide notes with no followers, hide pure bot patterns)
|
||
- Consider: Web of Trust (WOT) score as an optional feed filter — needs design session
|
||
|
||
### 6. Quote / Repost (NIP-18)
|
||
- "Quote" wraps a note in your own post with added commentary
|
||
- "Repost" is a plain re-broadcast (kind 6)
|
||
- Both are standard and expected by Nostr users
|
||
- Quote is more valuable — it drives conversation
|
||
|
||
### 7. NWC setup UX — guided wizard
|
||
- Plain-text NWC URI field is confusing for non-technical users (confirmed in Windows playtest)
|
||
- Wizard: detect wallet type (Alby Hub, Mutiny, Phoenix), deep-link to the right wallet page,
|
||
show inline validation + clear error states on connection failure
|
||
- Keep raw URI field as advanced fallback
|
||
|
||
### 8. System tray / minimize to tray
|
||
- Standard expectation for any messaging/social app on Windows
|
||
- Without it, closing the window exits — unexpected for a persistent social client
|
||
- Research needed for macOS (menu bar?) and Linux (varies by DE) before implementing
|
||
- Tauri 2.0 has a tray API — Windows implementation should be straightforward
|
||
|
||
### 9. Zap history view
|
||
- Sent and received zaps should be visible in the app
|
||
- Zap infrastructure (NIP-47 + NIP-57) already built — this is display-layer only
|
||
- v1: simple list in a "Zaps" tab on the profile view, or a section in Settings
|
||
- Good demo material for OpenSats reviewers
|
||
|
||
### 10. Sidebar: collapsible to icon-only + auto-hide
|
||
- Toggle already exists (clicking WRYSTR collapses to w-12 icons), but it's not obvious
|
||
- Make the toggle affordance clearer — a visible ‹ / › button
|
||
- Auto-hide mode: sidebar expands on hover/click, collapses automatically after N seconds
|
||
of activity in the main pane
|
||
- Most important: the icon-only state should be the default or easily reachable
|
||
|
||
### 11. Profile helpers for newcomers
|
||
- **NIP-05**: link to a guide or offer a basic self-hosted verification path
|
||
- **Avatar / banner image upload**: instead of pasting a URL, let users upload directly
|
||
(NIP-96 file storage or a simple Blossom upload via Tauri)
|
||
- Newcomers fill in a URL field and have no idea what to put — this is a friction point
|
||
|
||
### 12. Search: improve full-text + people
|
||
- NIP-50 full-text (`bitcoin` query) returns zero results on most relays — the UI
|
||
should detect this and suggest using `#hashtag` instead, or show which relays support it
|
||
- People search only works on NIP-50-capable relays; most don't support it
|
||
- Consider: local people search by scanning follows-of-follows graph
|
||
|
||
### 13. Direct Messages (NIP-44 / NIP-17)
|
||
- Significant complexity (encryption, key handling, inbox model)
|
||
- Major feature gap but non-trivial to implement well
|
||
- NIP-17 (private DMs) is the modern standard; NIP-44 is the encryption layer
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## TODO — brainstorm sessions needed
|
||
|
||
### UI / look & feel
|
||
- After Windows playtest: full design review of native feel, spacing, typography
|
||
- The current UI is functional but has "amateur web app" feel on some surfaces
|
||
- Target bar remains Telegram Desktop — fast, keyboard-navigable, feels native not webby
|
||
- Specific surfaces to revisit: note cards, thread view, profile header, modals
|
||
- **Windows playtest notes (10 Mar 2026):** install went smoothly, window resize/maximise
|
||
feels native; full design review still needed
|
||
|
||
### Web of Trust (WOT)
|
||
- Nostr has a concept of social graph distance for trust scoring
|
||
- Could power: feed ranking, spam filtering, people search, follow suggestions
|
||
- Worth exploring but needs a dedicated design session — not a simple feature add
|
||
|
||
### Long-form reading experience
|
||
- We write articles but there's no reader view
|
||
- Discovery, recommendations, reading history, estimated read time
|
||
- This is a major differentiator — needs its own design session
|
||

## What's already done
|
||
|
||
- **Onboarding**: key generation, nsec backup, plain-language UX, no extension required
|
||
- **Global + following feed**, compose, reply, thread view
|
||
- **Reactions** (NIP-25) with live network counts
|
||
- **Follow / Unfollow** (NIP-02), contact list publishing
|
||
- **Profile view + edit** (kind 0) — bug fix: own profile now updates immediately after save
|
||
- **Long-form article editor** (NIP-23) with draft auto-save
|
||
- **Zaps**: NWC wallet connect (NIP-47) + NIP-57 via NDKZapper, amount presets, comment
|
||
- **Search**: NIP-50 full-text, hashtag (#t filter), people with inline follow
|
||
- **Settings**: relay add/remove (live + persisted), NWC wallet setup, npub copy
|
||
- **Sidebar**: collapsible to icon-only (click WRYSTR to toggle)
|
||
- **Read-only mode**: npub login hides all write actions correctly
|
||
- Note rendering (images, video, mentions, hashtags)
|
||
- Relay connection status view
|
||
- NDK 3.x wrapper for all Nostr interactions
|
||
- GitHub Actions release: Linux AppImage, Windows exe/msi, macOS ARM dmg
