We'd like to take a moment and thank @elsat for their latest PR for the Vector Privacy codebase to improve Nostr-based communications with NIP-17 kind 10050. It has been merged. You are what makes open-source culture what it is and why it is so amazing. There is nothing that can compare to the power of people united around the world and contributing towards the same vision and values. Thank you, truly. Your GitHub is insane by the way, in the best possible way. This PR adds NIP-17 inbox relay support so DMs are now sent to the recipient's preferred inbox relays (kind 10050 lists) instead of broadcasting to every relay in the pool — with caching, fallback, and stampede prevention. It also auto-publishes and updates your own inbox relay list whenever you connect or change relay config. Before This PR: When you sent a DM, Vector just threw it at all your relays and hoped the other person would see it. Now it asks "hey, where does this person actually want their messages?" and sends it there specifically like mailing a letter to someone's actual address instead of dropping copies at every post office in town. It also tells other people where your mailbox is, automatically. GitHub PR #44:
