Nostr Compass #42 is out. Here is what changed across Nostr this week: Welcome back to Nostr Compass, your weekly guide to Nostr. Our dedicated Nostr Compass Android app brings newsletters, podcast episodes, topic guides, and contributor voice notes into one place. Its latest signed release notes describe full signature-verified newsletters, saved issues and 110 topic guides available offline, and local search across stories and available transcripts. Contributors can record and reply with voice notes, review a saved take before sending, and sign through Amber without storing their private key in the app. Public recordings are published on Nostr and Blossom. The latest app update preserves queued recordings and upload checkpoints when Android stops background work, shows when Amber approval is needed, and opens the relevant recording from a notification. Separate episode and voice-note views keep their own scroll positions, while playback resumes from the same point. Notifications for new recordings depend on Android scheduling and permission. This week: White Noise adds encrypted group polls and notices for incomplete chat history; Holoboard adds private-message promotion commands and an Android app; fips-pub-domains (maintainer: @Johnathan Corgan) tests signed public names on a mesh; Marmot MDK @marmot makes missing encrypted-group history visible; and Myco (maintainer: @Arjen) gives nearby app sharing a Nostr identity and store. nostream (maintainer: @npub1a5r2...g39a) adjusts relay admission to load, while Nostr double ratchet closes a removed-member gap. Development repairs Amethyst encrypted-group interoperability @Amethyst, adds Divine's encrypted video messages (maintainer: @rabble), and brings Nostr Atlas online. Protocol updates refine identity proofs, relay invitations, follow sets, and proposed domain claims. The month-end September retrospective follows the same questions through six years of Nostr.

Nostr Compass 1.1.2 saves Send before uploading, keeps recordings recoverable when the app closes, and shows a clear Amber approval status. Notification taps open the relevant recordings. Release articles no longer displace the latest newsletter. [Update on Zapstore](
