Last Notes

$0.023 for processing 1,000 notes from the global feed.
deed fetched and verified them, Jev judged the ones that were text (topic, substance, spam), and a small script ranked what was left.

hard to call it a nak alternative 😁 there’s definitely overlap, but deed is taking its own path, especially around the local store and composable workflows.

Definitely overlaps with NAK, but takes a different approach. Would love your take.

Introducing deed: the Nostr command line.
A 2.3 MB native CLI with an embedded local event store. Starts in ~2.3 ms, signs and verifies ~31k events/s, and queries a 100k-event store in a few milliseconds.
Useful for:
• classification, ranking, and routing with Jev
• debugging and inspecting events
• scripting and automation
• testing clients, relays, and NIPs
• fetching once, querying repeatedly
• bots, migrations, and diagnostics
Runs well in:
• developer machines
• servers and VPSs
• CI/CD pipelines
• shell scripts and containers
• lightweight test and diagnostic environments
Built on zig-nostr. macOS and Linux, Intel and ARM. Windows coming soon.

i just merged a big PR with 6,500+ changes, backed by days of audits and defensible architectural and security decisions. #buildinpublic
i can officially confirm: Plaza no longer holds a secret key.

Plaza v0.12.4 and Notary v0.9.0 just shipped. Highlights from this week:
- Introducing Places (@npub180c…h6w6's Hallway): a "plaza://place/<naddr1>" link opens a customized relay-based feed following the Hallway's format.
- Back up your key. Both apps export it now, encrypted or raw. Notary encrypts yours with your passphrase, Plaza keeps it in the macOS login Keychain, and neither ever hands it to any client.
- Avatars and banners are back for pictures hosted on .pub domains.
- The sign-in sheet no longer has a dead band you could click straight through.
- The approval card stopped printing over itself.
- Long pastes no longer drop the overflow in silence.
- Notary's sign out no longer hangs.

interesting idea. but there are lots of risks. letting any random binary file from internet to access files and some native stuff. also wasm usually has longer loading times despite of regular web apps. but i think it would be a cool experiment and worth a shot.

funny, i was just about to make a similar note taking native app as a showcase for my zig-nostr ecosystem. local first, so nothing leaves the device. and encrypted sync over relays if i want it. i could also make some notes publicly visible to others. or even let them edit my notes. but i started plaza as a bigger client. maybe i'll add it as a feature into plaza, or make it as a standalone app.

📣 Plaza v0.11.0 is out. 🎉
I've been building a native Nostr client for macOS, written in Zig. It's fast, it keeps its own copy of your feed, and it has come a long way since the first release. Here's what has landed.
📖 Reading
◈ Your feed reaches people your own relays don't carry
◈ Nobody you follow goes missing, wherever they publish
◈ Threads open properly, and a missing parent says so
◈ Reactions, replies and zap totals arrive with the feed
◈ Mentions are people you can click
✍ Writing
◈ Post, reply, quote and repost
◈ See who a note will notify, and switch anyone off
◈ Hashtags become real tags
◈ Replies reach everyone in the thread
🖼 Pictures
◈ Notes with several photos show all of them
◈ Big photos load now
◈ Faces and profile banners too
◈ The image proxy can be switched off completely
🔑 Your key
◈ Held in its own process, away from the screen
◈ Stored in the macOS Keychain, not a plain file
◈ Paste an nsec straight into a terminal, never through the app
◈ Read everything without a key at all
🔐 Signing for other apps
◈ Plaza can be your bunker: paste the link into any client and sign there
◈ Every app is asked separately for each thing it wants to do
◈ Answers last as long as you say: once, a day, always, or no
◈ Everything connected is listed, and cuttable
◈ Survives a restart, same link
📡 Relays
◈ A dead connection is noticed and redialled
◈ Every background request has a deadline
◈ No more pointless reconnects
⚙ Making it yours
◈ Reaction, repost, reply and zap counts can each be hidden
◈ Your mute list is read and honoured, and you can mute from here
227 pull requests to get here, 100 of them since the first release. Another 73 in the Nostr library underneath it.
Still early, plenty left to fix. But it feels like a real client now.

I'm working on Notary itself rn. you would only need to drop your nsec there. it will encrypt and save it locally on your machine and let Plaza and your other clients sign with a dedicated daemon. your key would never leave that daemon. shipping today maybe.

Announcing Plaza, a native Nostr client for macOS. 🎉
I built it because I wanted a feed that is already there when the window opens. Plaza keeps your notes in a local database and draws from disk first, then lets the relays catch up behind you. A feed query takes 0.28ms, so there is nothing to wait for.
I wrote it in Zig. No Electron, no WebView, no browser hiding in the binary. It opens straight into a feed as well, with no sign-up or welcome wall, because reading Nostr never needed a key.
Your key can stay out of it entirely if you want. Sign through Notary over NIP-46 and Plaza never sees it. Notary signs for other clients too, so it can be your signer everywhere rather than only here.
It is early, and I would rather say so than have you find out: no DMs, no zaps, no search yet.
If you are on macOS, tell me what breaks. And if you are not: what does your current client get wrong?

#nostr #buildinpublic

2026-08-08 11:22:07 GMT

Plaza opens into a feed. Not a welcome wall, not a sign-up form: reading Nostr never needed a key, so the app does not ask for one until you reach for something that does. Browse as a guest for as long as you like.

2026-08-07 17:33:54 GMT

Plaza is out.
A native Nostr client for macOS written in Zig. No Electron, no WebView, no browser hiding in the binary. The toolkit draws every pixel.
The feed is a local query. It renders from disk before the network answers, and a 500 note feed query is 0.28ms against 100k stored events.
Your key can stay out of it entirely: sign through Notary over NIP-46 and the client never sees it.
Early, and honest about it. No DMs, no zaps, no search yet. Those are the next milestones and they are public.

Signet is now Notary.
"Signet" already means a Bitcoin test network. "Notary" means something that holds your seal, never gives it away, and signs when you say so. That was always the more honest word for it.
Same software, new name.
