For anyone who would like to join, you can always view Public Communities on the Vector Hub or you can simply just visit http://chat.vectorapp.io Previously, Vector was forced to go through several group chat wipes due to breaking changes on the past encrypted group chat protocol. Since then, it has been smooth sailing with the Concord Protocol migration. Bleeding-edge tech is never easy and always riddled with headaches... but it is important to us that there is always stability and reliability in the tech stack... not only just the principle behind it, but for the community, for the organizations, for the teams, for the users who rely on this infrastructure. We highly commend all teams, developers, and open-source protocols aiming to preserve privacy, throughout all the challenges. It is never an easy journey, but nothing worthwhile usually is.

(Compliments to the Chef, @npub16ye…g4wn) The new group chat encryption protocol integrated since v0.4.0 has gone through some significant improvements and changes thanks to some great minds and contributions from around the world. https://blossom.ditto.pub/a4b2d130b7b4a5cc899b33d6c2f5ddf084db094b122c4395d3c545a17ced27e5.png Concord is an open-source protocol designed to make encrypted and private messages scalable, reliable, and consistent. Often with additional security measures for privacy-sake, it can rapidly add friction to the end user experience, making it slow and painful. Concord Fixes That. https://blossom.primal.net/d52b495c6b6fb3c92492044a3907fd1c2e9b5bc7bb38610a53358db722d427c6.jpg Concord Protocol has rapidly been gaining both attention and adoption in the Nostr ecosystem. Since its first release, there are more than 6 other clients that have integrated it (that we are aware of). Two notable clients are Armada by Soapbox Team and Amethyst. This means there can now be interoperability across different chat/messenger platforms and apps. https://blossom.primal.net/9d9f31a6c4ba28efdb2aaac31084f6a9224c448e5f2bb6e26be6709a9c059cf7.jpg ⚠️For all Community Owners/Creators in Vector, you will need to resubmit your Public Community to Vector Hub so that it can update with the latest Concord v2. 1. Create a New Invite Link 2. Resubmit on http://VectorApp.io/Hub 3. Reupload Community Avatar (Temporary) 4. Submit 🔰Join the Official Vector Community (chat.vectorapp.io) Last but not least, we wanted to give a special thanks to all of you who have been testing out Concord since the beginning and been helping to share feedback both to Vector and @npub10qd…arpj. We couldn't be more grateful, this is exactly how open-source protocols thrive. Always give credit to where it is due and first on that list is @npub1q3s…d26p as well as @npub18am…p424 and the @npub10qd…arpj team for seeing the same challenges we faced in Vector with large group chats and communities, but also the potential that Concord possessed. Thanks to your time, efforts, and contributions Concord is evolving into something we all have needed... especially for a reliable, encrypted group chat standard here on Nostr. There is nothing better than running your own clients (settings, preferences, etc.), but communicating daily through the same protocol. Interoperability at its finest... --- 🌱Please be sure to update Vector to the latest version (v0.4.1). Available on GitHub, VectorApp.io, @npub10r8…t2p8. --- Finally, we will be organizing an official blog article to go into a deeper dive with Concord Protocol with the intent to help the world understand it better. The plan is to have 2 modes, one for the layman and one for developers. Toggle on for your preference, but for those who want to read and learn you can do so and for those who want to get their hands-on experience, skip the tutorial and start playing with it... we have your best interests in mind. 😇 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy 🔥Now that is a workflow. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Caveman meets Freedom Tech 🔥 #nevent1q…p46d npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy 💣 Ephemeral Message Teaser Commonly referred to as: "Self-Destructing" "Disappearing" "Vanquishing" "Ephemeral" Messages that auto-delete once a set time interval passes (Ex: 10 seconds, 1 minute, 1 day).

With that said, we took time to add to our GitBook docs a page on AI Usage & Transparency that covers how we address AI and its relevance in Vector's development. ⚠️ Zero Blind Commits Policy Every single pull request and commit on GitHub is manually reviewed by the founder and senior developer. Not a single commit or contribution, regardless of whether AI was involved in writing it, has ever been pushed without review by the senior developer and other team members. AI is not perfect, and neither are human developers, but peer review is a crucial part of quality control and the foundational reason why open-source technology is often more trustworthy and resilient in practice. We also go deeper into our workflow, where and how AI is utilized with full transparency into our development process.

There were a lot of new pages and sections added, as well as some more images and GIFs of screen recordings. Some people had requested they wanted a section to learn more of "How it Works", so we added that on the landing page that takes you straight to the privacy and tech stack. Take a peek: https://docs.vectorapp.io https://image.nostr.build/b94b55e94320796fbaeed75100b9085cb631f68b92d6adda6c5a7f0c553970b1.png GitBook serves as our real introduction to Vector for newcomers, whether for your average person or developers, though it probably doesn't need to be said, but devs can always go straight to GitHub. 🟢 V E C T O R - M E S S E N G E R https://image.nostr.build/374b7eb3e0961ee1dbdeef94d32879cf43897f64cbc4fa0b7e4ad0c8e02bbe46.jpg Learn more about Vector Messenger, how the app works, as well as all of the features explained: https://vector-privacy.gitbook.io/vector-privacy/vector-messenger 🟢 V E C T O R - S D K https://image.nostr.build/ef252927929fa34a6c496ef5cd34f53f0b5196f3f3c1e907ca005a9ce5c548b5.jpg Last but not least, the new Vector SDK (vector-core) has been updated and docs have been expanded upon: https://vector-privacy.gitbook.io/vector-privacy/vector-sdk The best way to stay up to date with Vector's development is to join the Vector Community on Vector at chat.vectorapp.io.

We'd recommend in Settings > Relays and checking to make sure all of your relays are connected and/or set the relays that you want to connect to. If messages weren't being sent, this is likely the case if it wasn't your internet. https://image.nostr.build/097478e77f89cd90eaa11342a01a8972ef51afaafbd5a26869761dc51183e671.png npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy @nprofile…8jg9 We will help troubleshoot with you.

A bunch of friendly people to help you test it overall and different features. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Definitely something we can look more into, as we've been planning for game nights and similar events, but have been fully focused on the past release and this coming update. Always nice to connect with other gamers on Nostr, can explore more opportunities and maybe have some gaming nights on Nostr. 🎮 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Great coverage and thanks for highlighting Privacy Protocols in general, great way for people and developers to learn of new and different means that offer different use cases and pros/cons towards the model they are building. Rarely ever is there a one-size-fits-all approach and we discovered that personally in our journey, which is why we ended up developing Concord Protocol. It gives us the privacy, security, speed, and scalability we need in our mission to create large-scale communities and for your average person to replace their enshittified messenger app with Vector, a nice little trojan horse to Nostr. Though it does come with its own limitations like forward secrecy as you covered in your infographic and table. After the next Vector v0.4.1 release, we will organize some more information, documents, and graphics to share a 2 part blog for your average person and developers about Concord Protocol. Thanks again for the spotlight, we look forward to more adoption and also some more global contributors joining the repo and development. 💚 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Perfect! We are assuming it is likely a client-side display issue that could truncate the link and cause it not to load properly, but it's hard to say as we aren't sure which client everyone is on. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy We have finally arrived at the point where we can consider Vector at an MVP state. More or less it was touched upon with v0.4.0, but v0.4.1 will be the baseline moving forward. It only took a year and a half of development, but wouldn't have made it this far without you all. The next version will patch just about every issue, bug, and request we've heard from the community, other than an iOS release (planned Q3-Q4) and we will open up testing shortly for our community and anyone else who would like to get involved. #nevent1q…ytdf npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy All good things take time 😇 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Drop us the link!

We will open up quality control testing in the following days for about a week and hope to roll it out officially by the end of this month/beginning of next month! Yes! Let's bring on "Vector" groups in other apps and let the interoperability commence! 🤫 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Not quite yet, iOS is planned for Q3-Q4 after the widescreen desktop client. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Thanks for sharing about Vector, Derek. Together as a community is what really makes open-source tech better, we certainly welcome all feedback. We will continue to optimize and after the next v0.4.1 release, we will be sharing more information about Concord Protocol. Might make a dedicated Group Chat on Vector specifically for that, as well as some more docs and so on. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Absolutely, it is much larger than any of us alone, both the problems and the solutions. Grateful for everyone that has spoken up, shared honest feedback, and doing what they can to help build Vector up. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy The beauty of open-source tech. If you do change your mind, we are more than happy to welcome new PRs and contributors to the Vector ecosystem. Currently finalizing the last changes for the next v0.4.1 release. Aside from this issue you ran in to, curious of your experience and feedback on Vector. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Understandable, you are an experienced Nostr dev/user and want it to work as seamless and consistent as possible... and so do we. Ironically, this issue was either never previously encountered or simply never reported to us, likely because most Vector users are new users and not from the Nostr community. Big picture we are still new and in Open Beta, so have a lot of kinks to work out, which only grows everyday. One key aspect to highlight is that Vector has been built for the scope of the general public, meaning people that have no idea what Nostr is nor probably ever will. Rather than starting our approach for Nostr-based users first, that is why this issue came about. Our approach and angle is different, using Vector as a trojan horse for Nostr. Anyways, thanks for the honest feedback along with @nprofile…9kky Will continue to optimize the user experience and patch issues. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Noted and discussed. This was discovered and brought up by Derek within the past day or so. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy This may the be the most requested "feature" or release rather at this point. +1 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy 100% planned on the roadmap.

A lot of people would say that SimpleX has a more secure and private protocol and aimed more for person-to-person, whereas Vector focuses on bringing a better UX for privacy tech to the average person and aims to grow larger communities. Both have their use cases and to put it bluntly, people need options because hardly in life is there a one-sizes-fits-all solution. TLDR: SimpleX for more privacy and Vector for more UX. https://image.nostr.build/a66b437a5cf4297446e3d35869705acd15fefc4a7f6e004dfdf0fb735d597075.jpg npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Be sure to join the official Vector Community Group Chat: https://vectorapp.io/invite#AgEh4Cqhodi955XTDcLwUs3eSbdGw89s5MglNu4JUGA5_g Feel free to add @nprofile…hh2y or @nprofile…tsc6 and they can invite you to test as well. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Thanks for suggesting, we'd also love to see how Vector ranks to others in this video. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Absolutely. We have already applied and have a Google Developer Account, but have been waiting for once we feel the build is not only stable enough, but polished enough for Android users—first impressions are everything there. F-Droid is immediately on to-do list now that v0.4.0 is out and we spent a lot of time refining the Android experience as well.

The biggest and most noticeable improvements for this release are largely focused on privacy, security, and user experience. Upon updating to the latest version, you will immediately notice differences in just about every corner of the app. There are many optimizations across the app and it should feel much more responsive, quick, and smooth. > 300+ Commits > 3 Months of Work > 1 New Protocol > 14+ New Features Download on GitHub: https://github.com/VectorPrivacy/Vector/releases/tag/v0.4.0 https://video.nostr.build/9efb1d7b352a3ce987224f4d90ae8627c57ae879865ee43240ae035126f61c20.mp4 New Features: 🧅 Tor Integration: optionally route all of Vector's traffic through Tor in one click; Includes bridges for censorship circumvention. 👥 Multiple Accounts: run many accounts on a single install, with a quick in-app switcher. 🔐 Remote Signers: log in without ever exposing your key, using NIP-46. Pair a bunker by QR or pasted URI. 🗑️ Delete Messages: delete a message for everyone, in both DMs and group chats. Vector keeps the ephemeral signing key, a diversion from the traditional NIP-17/Marmot specs for enhanced user privacy controls. 😀 Custom Emoji Packs: create, crop, share your own emoji packs across Vector, compatible with other Nostr clients. 🖼️ Chat Wallpapers: set a custom wallpaper per DM, with live blur and brightness sliders while you tune it. 👆 Mobile Gestures: swipe a message to reply, or long-press (right-click on desktop) for the full action menu. 👤 Mini Profiles: tap any avatar or name in a chat to peek at that person's profile without leaving the conversation. 🆕 Unread Divider: a "New" marker now shows exactly where you left off, both when messages land while you're scrolled up & when you reopen a chat. 📥 Android Public Downloads: downloaded files now land in your gallery and Files app like Telegram, with Open & Share buttons on every attachment. 📨 Share to Vector (Android): share images, files, or text from any other app straight into a Vector chat. 🤖 Android Back Button: the hardware back button now navigates Vector the way you'd expect, instead of dumping you out of the app. 🎨 New Themes: two more to choose from, XMR and Neon. 🛠️ AI Agent Support (MCP): a new Model Context Protocol server (vector-agent) hands AI agents 21 tools to drive Vector, from sending DMs and managing groups to uploading files and editing profiles. Improvements: ⚙️ Vector Core Rewrite: every piece of Vector's logic now lives in a single decoupled engine, vector-core, shared by every client. DMs, groups, profiles, crypto, the database, file handling, all of it. The app shell shed thousands of lines and the core ships with 440+ tests. This is the groundwork for a CLI, bots, and SDKs. 🔄 Group Sync (Total Negentropy): MLS group chats now sync entirely over negentropy. 💬 Redesigned Chat: the message view was rebuilt as flat, Discord-style rows (avatar, name, content, hover toolbar) instead of bubbles. 🌸 Decentralised File Storage: Blossom uploads now fail over across multiple servers, learn each server's capabilities, and sync your server list across your devices. ⚡ Memory & Performance: SQLite memory use dropped from roughly 308MB to 5MB, the emoji panel now opens instantly from disk cache, and chat rendering picked up a round of micro-optimizations. 🔎 Smarter Emoji Search: added Discord-style shortcodes (type :smile:) and Unicode frequency rankings, so the emoji you actually want surfaces first. 😀 Reaction Details: hover any reaction on desktop for a quick summary of who reacted. ✏️ Profile Edit Mode: a proper edit mode for your profile covering avatar, banner, name, bio, and status, with inline image cropping and an unsaved-changes banner. Fixes: 📡 Sending on Flaky Networks: fixed relay pool depletion that could break message sending when your connection was unstable. 🔐 Orphaned Messages: fixed a rekey race condition that could strand messages mid-conversation. 📜 Message Ordering: messages sent within the same second now order correctly, and a phantom unread badge no longer lingers. ⬆️ Upload Progress: the upload progress ring no longer freezes into a static donut mid-send. ⬇️ Stubborn Downloads: attachments now download from servers that ignore HTTP Range requests, instead of failing outright. 📏 Link Previews: portrait preview images no longer balloon to fill the whole screen. 🧭 Scroll Position: the chat no longer jumps to the bottom while you're reading older messages. 🗂️ System Events: joins, leaves, and other system messages no longer pile up at the top of a chat. 🔗 Reply Previews: reply previews no longer leak raw npubs or stray markdown characters. 🔒 SSRF & Relay Stability: hardened SSRF protection and steadied the relay connection monitor. 💚 Special Thanks We wanted to give a special thanks not only to the community at large, which has grown tremendously over the past 6 months, but we also wanted to express our deepest gratitude to the last round of Quality Control Testers for this v0.4.0 release. You all have helped us realize the necessity for an imperative pivot to a more stable, suitable, and scalable protocol, as well as identify a lot of small bugs and inconsistencies. With that being said, we have been planning to release additional Vector Badges and have been designing new badges that will be released with future updates, which can be claimed by completing certain tasks like in the past. One of those badges is the Bug Hunter badge, which will come with high-level perks and benefits for future releases. Without disclosing too much, we will say that the team has documented who has officially discovered and reported bugs, and we look forward to rewarding you all with your well-deserved badges in the near future. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Best looking Vector Public Profile? https://image.nostr.build/d7edf80b3dfc10c7881e6a95c9d380156a0bb037f39bc7905cbb3386ec9871e8.gif #nevent1q…jpes npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Concord is the answer you're looking for. concord /kŏn′kôrd″, kŏng′-/ noun 1.

Strange and we are not 100% sure the reason at the moment. If we recall correctly, the oldest version we have ran for Android is Android 11 and on a $50 phone. We've also tested on other older and cheaper models just to make sure it is compatible and could be used in any circumstance and environment (ideally). Sadly, we can't even grab the logs as you can't even manage to get in. Appreciate you wanting to help test and try the latest pre-release. Android and Linux are both quite finnicky with each version, distro, release, etc. that we have noticed. We are really working hard on this release to get the UX more polished for Android users as most of the downloads have been for Android. Will circle back when we have pinpointed a solution or have a new release to test. Wish we had something more concrete to share with you at the moment, but unfortunately not at this time. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Thank you for sharing, Max! We hope to get as many testers and feedback as possible for this next major release of v0.4.0. npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy BREAKING: We've added a new feature ⚠️Report to Thought Police We didn't listen to your feedback. You asked for privacy, we gave you surveillance and censorship and you will be happy. We are really proud of our team for ignoring your best interests. This is why you Nostr, folks. Enjoy this Tuesday Troll. https://image.nostr.build/b253bd6bd7574b873327faea2a1c36b5a8c6e73d26b05cc33be2286b43680489.jpg npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Hopefully, this update should resolve that issue and some others. Thanks for testing and thanks for the patience. New compile will be done shortly... npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy GM Nostriches!

We implemented a lot of changes for Android and still will be adding more this last week. If you have time, please let us know and will try to look more into it. https://github.com/VectorPrivacy/Vector/releases/download/v0.4.0/Vector.apk npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy https://image.nostr.build/b158d590a92d45fac0b969d154083314118e3997b5b539ba52d56a7526db1514.png GM, Nostr. We are now doing extensive testing across all builds and supported operating systems for Vector v0.4.0. We have officially opened up Quality Control Testing for anyone interested. You do not need developer experience. You just need to be running the latest version, which we will provide from GitHub. If you are interested in helping to test, share feedback, suggestions, and bug finding, please leave a comment below or drop your npub so that we can add you to the official QC Testing Group Chat on Vector where we will provide all the steps and you can connect with other testers and community members to share feedback. For any other questions, feel free to message @nprofile…tsc6 or @nprofile…hh2y on Vector directly. We welcome anyone and everyone who wants to get involved. For those of you who have been around and requested many features, we think you will be quite pleased to see how well we listen and take action. We do our best to prioritize feedback and requests while we are developing Vector. For this latest release, everyone asked "wen remote signing", "wen multi-account", and "wen iOS". You will be happy to find that we have implemented 2/3 of those, as iOS is simply planned for later in this year. GitHub Pre-Release Build: https://github.com/VectorPrivacy/Vector/releases/tag/v0.4.0 Thank you all. We have a week's worth of testing and polish before the biggest release to date for Vector, officially planned for June 1st and we hope you join us. 💚 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Thanks for your patience, it will be later this year. It will be worth the wait 🙏 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy What else will be included in v0.4.0 you ask? 🖼️Custom Wallpapers In private DMs, you will be allowed to upload custom wallpapers and edit the brightness and blur with the easy, adjustable sliders at the bottom. You can also remove the wallpaper by clicking the trashcan icon. https://image.nostr.build/8f098ded745b806c78b461c5f90602363abca34a13f89ad209632a0548b118ee.jpg npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy GitHub Exploit > Open-Source Repos 1000x We didn't know you all loved FOSS so much💚 https://image.nostr.build/eb6a6c336583d4468c4b06091a78c31b6b4e7c5e212dea871d0eac2f8b5c4dad.jpg https://github.com/VectorPrivacy/Vector npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Now that the base is established and secure, hopefully more of us can focus on improved UX/UI that meets the global standard of what is really expected for apps these days, like the ones you mentioned... minus the centralization, intrusive ads, over-the-top dopamine hooks, warped and limiting algorithm, data mining, etc. 🤝 npub1hrujuc08r4zcdtn0u6ts7u7apldcjqgftz0z7stmaaz9hwaf9jxs66f3yh VectorPrivacy Vectorius Maximus is in the kitchen cookin' 👨🍳
