Episode Details

### News - **00:00 Amethyst ships pinned notes, relay management, and Request to Vanish** Amethyst shipped six releases from v1.07.0 through v1.07.5 in three days. The headline features span pinned notes, a polls feed, [NIP-62](/en/topics/nip-62/) Request to Vanish for requesting full event deletion from relays, [NIP-86](/en/topics/nip-86/) relay management API directly from the client, [NIP-66](/en/topics/nip-66/) relay liveness in the info screen, and [NIP-43](/en/topics/nip-43/) member info display. v1.07.2 added GIF keyboard uploads and fixed an Amber signing regression, and v1.07.5 fixes an image uploading crash. - **01:44 NIP-5A merges, bringing static websites to Nostr** [NIP-5A](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/5A.md) merged via [PR #1538](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1538), defining kind `15128` for root sites and kind `35128` for named sites. Each manifest maps URL paths to SHA256 hashes, with `server` tags pointing to [Blossom](/en/topics/blossom/) storage hosts. A host server resolves the author's pubkey from the subdomain, fetches the manifest from the author's relay list, and serves files by downloading matching blobs. Existing implementations include [nsite](https://github.com/lez/nsite) and [nsite-manager](https://github.com/hzrd149/nsite-manager). - **09:16 White Noise fixes relay churn and expands client controls** White Noise shipped [v2026.3.23](https://github.com/marmot-protocol/whitenoise/releases/tag/v2026.3.23) with quorum-based relay-list publishing, scoped ephemeral relay sessions, NIP-C7 reply threading, deleted message placeholders, in-app bug reports via [NIP-44](/en/topics/nip-44/) anonymous reports, chat archiving, mute with configurable durations, notification settings, and preparatory push-registration work for iOS and Android. - **11:33 Nostr VPN reaches v0.3.0 with roster sync and invite v2** [nostr-vpn](https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-vpn) shipped through [v0.3.3](https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-vpn/releases/tag/v0.3.3) with two breaking changes: invite format v2 and admin-signed roster sync. An admin node can now push membership changes to all peers without manual per-peer configuration updates. - **13:22 nospeak launches as a 1.0 private messenger** [nospeak](https://github.com/psic4t/nospeak) shipped [1.0.0](https://github.com/psic4t/nospeak/releases/tag/v1.0.0) with [NIP-17](/en/topics/nip-17/) one-on-one chats using [NIP-59](/en/topics/nip-59/) gift wrap and [NIP-44](/en/topics/nip-44/) encryption, AES-256-GCM media encryption before upload to Blossom, and a self-hostable container deployment. - **13:49 Flotilla v1.7.0 adds voice rooms and email login** [Flotilla](https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/flotilla) shipped [v1.7.0](https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/flotilla/src/tag/1.7.0) and [v1.7.1](https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/flotilla/src/tag/1.7.1) with voice rooms contributed by mplorentz, email/password login, proof-of-work DMs, DM editing, Blossom support detection, Android push notification fallback, and redesigned relay onboarding. The voice room join dialog solves a UX problem where entering a voice-enabled room previously forced microphone activation. - **19:02 Caravel** [Caravel](https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/caravel), hodlbod's new hosting manager and dashboard for zooid relays, logged 40 commits this week in initial development. - **20:15 Nymchat ships Marmot-powered group chats** [Nymchat](https://github.com/Spl0itable/NYM) announced all new group chats now use the [Marmot](/en/topics/marmot/) protocol for MLS-encrypted messaging with [NIP-17](/en/topics/nip-17/) fallback. The v3.55 and v3.56 series fixed group chat edge cases, patched an XSS vulnerability, and added keyword/phrase blocking. This makes Nymchat another Marmot client joining White Noise and OpenChat. ### Releases - **21:28 Calendar by Form* v1.0.0** [Calendar by Form*](https://github.com/formstr-hq/nostr-calendar) reached [v1.0.0](https://gith
