Flotilla: Discord-like Nostr Client for Relay-based Communities
Flotilla is a Discord/Slack-like Nostr client. Available on the web and Android (on zapstore).
- "I am pleased to announce the release of the 0.1.0 release of Flotilla, a new client for communities," announced hodlbod.
"This project began as a NIP-29 client, and after 3 PRs, lots of discussion, a podcast, and a partial implementation, I decided to go my own way," said the developer.
- Flotilla does not support NIP-29 like chachi.chat does. However, both clients offer features such as chat, join requests, group metadata, membership management, moderation, and other related functionalities.
- "The basic unit of a NIP-29 group is a random group id string, while the basic unit of a Flotilla group is a relay itself," explained the developer in a blog post.
"I believe this design difference emerged in part because of what we were attempting to build. NIP 29 groups tend to be more telegram-like, where groups function more like chat rooms, and users join each one individually. On Flotilla, groups function more like Discord servers, or Slack workspaces, and users join an entire group of chat rooms at once," he added.
NOTE: NIP-29 compatibility is being researched for maximum interoperability between clients.
