Don't think they're that far apart. Good that everyone knows what everyone else is doing. Nostr could have 3 separate MLS implementations up and talking to each other soon, I wonder if that'd make Nostr the leading MLS space globally? I think it might!

Some updates: We've finally sorted out the Apple developer account. We expect to release the iOS version of Keychat within a week or two, and possibly a macOS version as well (although the UI isn’t fully optimized for large screens yet). We're currently revising our MLS group implementation. We've studied the codebases of NIP-104 and White Noise in depth and learned some useful design ideas—such as encrypting MLS messages using NIP-44 and hiding the `group_ID`. We’ve also been posting comments and discussing better mechanisms, like more efficient ways to update the MLS group’s receiving addresses. Ultimately, we hope different MLS clients will be able to interoperate.

We’ve caught a good timing. The idea of MLS was first proposed in 2016, and the official standard (RFC 9420) wasn’t released until July 2023. OpenMLS only became roughly usable in 2024 and is still in its early stages.
