Nostr layer: - fetchDMConversations: fetches all kind-4 events to/from the user (both directions in parallel), deduplicates, newest-first - fetchDMThread: fetches both directions for a specific conversation, sorted oldest-first for display - sendDM: NIP-04 encrypts content via NDK signer, publishes kind 4 - decryptDM: decrypts regardless of direction (ECDH shared secret is symmetric — always pass the other party to signer.decrypt) UI (DMView): - Two-panel layout: conversation list (w-56) + active thread - ConvRow: avatar, name, time; shows "🔒 encrypted" preview to avoid decrypting the whole inbox on load - MessageBubble: decrypts lazily on mount; mine right-aligned, theirs left-aligned; shows "Could not decrypt" on failure - ThreadPanel: loads full thread, auto-scrolls to bottom, re-fetches after send; Ctrl+Enter to send - NewConvInput: start a new conversation by pasting an npub1 or hex pubkey; validates and resolves before opening thread - Read-only (npub) accounts see a clear "nsec required" message Navigation: - ✉ messages added to sidebar nav - openDM(pubkey) in UI store → navigates to dm view with pending pubkey - ProfileView: "✉ message" button in action row opens DM thread Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Wrystr
A cross-platform desktop Nostr client built with Tauri 2.0 + React + TypeScript. Polished UI, deep Lightning integration, and first-class support for long-form writing.
Named as a nod to Nostr with a wry twist.
