I WEAKLY RECOMMEND these apps (first recommendations I've made yet) -
* Stagenet version of Garnet by developer retnull / retrnull, of unknown npub
* Nostrudel.ninja by nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr
* Amber by nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5
* Nos2x by nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6
* Nos2x-fox by nostr:npub168nqgewzkamnyh53x0epqrftkv2pdh9gzr6558v4vetzr3w7uxfs63926e
Why are these WEAK recommendations?
To you, maybe all my recommendations should be weak because I am not a coder, cryptographer, or mathematician, and cannot review code for security issues at all.
To me, these reasons:
* These are all on GitHub without even backup links to the work of nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl
* Garnet - using Monero for tips might break its anonymity, the bounty on a monero-based nostr client might be a deep state bounty connected to the IRS bounty for cracking Monero, it's weird that there's a Monero-based client before a dogecoin-based client. The availability of a Stagenet version at least shows self-awareness of this being experimental 🤙
* Nostrudel.ninja - I can't get discovery feeds to work, I see others report other issues, the project could sorta be considered "stretched thin" but that's also exactly what got it in my recommendations
* The others - I'm paranoid in general and none of this stuff is designed the way I would design it so it's hard for me to strongly recommend anything at this experimental prototype stage.
These aren't the only apps I would ever suggest using, or use myself, or onboard someone with, but they are the first ones I've noticed seeming more worthwhile (or less untrustworthy) than others.
