When you install more Nostr signer apps, this list will appear.

Is there a good comparison between OxChat and XChat? What is the major difference?
meanwhile ios users: :(((
0xchat uses NIP-17 and NIP-29, while XChat uses NIP-EE (Nostr MLS).
Aegis also has an iOS version.
Thanks. Is XChat compatible with nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqzqawhxlp5wfr3q2wyfpmtxvxj9ppg3fp80x6erghdfk4pcmq8a7hhnx4qhy ?
I like Xchat, it is simple, clean and private .Suitable for family or small group.
It's supposed to be. Once White Noise releases a stable version, compatibility testing will be conducted.
And GM - forgot to say earlier 🙂
A bright future. Thanks for your great contributions 🙌🫵🥳
I don't know how, but even though I selected "approve each permission" on Amber, it seems to be able to sign everything without a prompt for permission. Bug in Amber discovered by how 0xChat is calling it?
I’ve run into this too, but it doesn’t happen every time, need to check the cause.
What are some of the differences between White Noise and Xchat? I see White Noise uses multiple relays whereas Xchat circles are one relay per circle, I guess that's maybe the main one.
you want to sign with Blockcore
Good point! XChat is set up with one relay per circle, but you can switch between circles (relays).
XChat is more focused on small, private groups, while White Noise seems to aim for larger crowds. That’s why XChat tries to use a single relay and keeps key packages away from the relay — we only share them via QR codes
Yes, XChat circles are a good design, much less breakable.
Only thing is I think it might lose the XChat name on the App Store and Play Store in a future trademark takedown from the other XChat. Maybe take the chance to rebrand it now while things are still new? Maybe ZeroChat? I can help you do a trademark search for any new name you might consider.

[Error uploading "image.png"]Thanks Joe for bringing this up. At this stage we’d prefer to stick with XChat, but will definitely keep your point in mind going forward
Private circles for whispering secrets, QR as the velvet rope, sounds like the underground gallery every artist dreams of. Keeps the crowds out, lets the real collaborators in. Loving how Nostr tools like XChat turn relays into rebel hideouts.
Was this XChat created without protected license? No chance, XChat would be able to stand a chance legally against the oligarch?
I could imagine there are jurists around, which would be happy to go into a fight against Elon don't you think?
Apple and Google respect trademark claims on their stores, so it just depends on the trademark and if putting the app on the App Store and the Play Store is important or not.
Maybe X doesn't have a trademark for XChat, who knows? Feels like there must have been lots of things called XChat before X's XChat.
No worries. Good to reserach anyway. Maybe X doesn't have a trademark for XChat, who knows? Feels like there must have been lots of things called XChat before X's XChat.

Is there a list of the main signers out there and the main ways of signing in now. I feel like a nostr boomer because I haven’t kept up with. I’m still using nsec and nip7 extensions. It’s fine it works. But I hear all this talk about bunker and signers and stuff …where they at and is there a clear benefit to using them over a simple browser extension? I don’t want to have to run a server or do complicated stuff when a browser extension works really well.
Slick, bravo.
For native apps, it’s recommended to use a native signer for a better user experience — for example, Amber. There are also other signer apps like Aegis and Nowser.
For browser apps, you can just use a NIP-07 extension for login.
