Mostro adds signed identity rebinding; Amethyst 1.20.0 adds private Marmot polls and settings sync; swift-nostr 0.9.0 ships; we review six Octobers.
Nostr Compass is a technical resource for the Nostr protocol, helping developers, relay operators, and builders stay current on protocol evolution. We publish weekly newsletters covering NIP proposals, client updates, relay developments, and notable code changes. Our podcast features conversations with the developers building Nostr. The topic index documents key concepts with links to primary sources. Podcast: https://podcast.nostrcompass.org

Mostro adds signed identity rebinding; Amethyst 1.20.0 adds private Marmot polls and settings sync; swift-nostr 0.9.0 ships; we review six Octobers.

Keep Android revokes old grants, Nostr WoT tests phone signing, Zapstore preserves app history, Napplet verifies artifacts, NIP-37 and NIP-48 explained.

Amethyst reaches desktop, Amber repairs signing security, and Nostr applications improve private media, relay recovery, software installation, and public content controls.

Compound searches, encrypted app permissions, messaging recovery, web highlights, wallet safeguards, and public profile verification lead this week's Nostr development updates.

FIPS mesh reliability improves, Marmot and White Noise strengthen messaging, and new tools, apps, and protocol work broaden Nostr this week.

Marmot and Myco advance encrypted collaboration while Dart NDK, Keycast, releases, NIP changes, and protocol work reshape the Nostr developer landscape.

Signed Git workflows, browser publishing, private events, safer relays, focused releases, and portable Nostr links shaped this week’s development across protocol.
After 38 weeks of Nostr Compass, Logbook opens asynchronous podcast recording to anyone through a Nostr-native nsite.

Voca verifies Nostr reading, nostream expands relay jobs, Napstr uses Tor, MDK trims maintenance, and core NIPs add pagination and highlights.

Postr and Infans launch, security hardens across clients and relays, and six August retrospectives trace Nostr’s evolving interoperability from protocols onward.

Amber and Cambium harden signers, Citrine hosts groups on phone relays, Vector queues moderation, Sonar threads mesh chat, Nail bridges email.

Post-quantum identity tools strengthen messaging and signing, portable community settings advance, and Nostr protocols gain concrete work across NIPs and Concord.

Amethyst embeds Nostr apps, Mosaico coordinates coding agents, Nostrology maps relay-list concentration, and six July retrospectives trace protocol change across Nostr.

IndieSats opens music infrastructure, Nostrord implements NIP-29 upgrades, Divine hardens delivery, and Armada brings Buzz workspaces to an independent Nostr client.

Vector drops Marmot for the open Concord protocol, Amethyst ships an implementation, Sonar splits from Bitchat, and Divine Mobile ships ProofMode.

Marmot spec adopted. Mostro Transport v2 lands on NIP-44. Bitchat 1.6.0 mines NIP-13 PoW with mesh-Nostr gateway. NIP-80 hardware-attested media provenance.
