I'll say it again, even though I've said it a thousand times: @Mike Dilger ☑️ 's Gossip client is the best cross platform desktop Nostr client released right now.

You'd need to ask Michael. I don't know that he's pushed it really hard, but it really needs more love. It's a power user tool for sure, but I think it's the best implementation of Gossip protocol I've seen, and it has the benefit of being a real *native* application, not just a wrapper around JS, so it's fast.

@hzrd149 we are seeing a race being ran here. Ask about noStrudel. 👀

I'm not seeing the guide I used to give to people anymore. It may be time for me to write one.

Someone told me it was. I haven't verified. I always clone and build myself. They also said something about winget and chocolatey.
I cannot verify this as I haven't tried the others. Now I feel pressure to make sure this is true. 😅 There will be a setup wizard soon (it is almost finished but has bugs still). You won't need a guide to get setup.

This is great. It really makes me wish I was any good in Rust so I could contribute. I use Gossip a lot.
You can install it now with ffmpeg support from the homebrew tap in the link from my profile. On windows you can install it from my scoop bucket, which provides a “gossip” command to run from the command line. That’s also waiting on review to get in the public bucket.
It's fantastic for getting the latest versions of CLI tools that never get propagated back to LTS package managers. And it works on any distribution without interfering with 'native' stuff. I wonder why more people aren't using it?
