Nice ! Very awaited nostr feature, encrypted group chat over nostr !
Sorry for the maybe obvious question, but is it all client side are does it rely on your server? I mean could this app goes down if your server goes down or is it directly broadcast to relays without third party in-between ?
It does not depend on our server, you can even download the client app and self host it (it's just an html file). All messages go directly to relays with no third party in between.

Then this is amazing thank you ⚡⚡⚡
It this a tech that any nostr client could implement potentially ?
reply
Yes, the code is FOSS so anyone can implement

One thing in term of UX that I'm struggling with is that each time I leave the chat, I have to enter again the chat string to access the chat again. Am I doing this badly or is there a way to not have to enter the "generated chat string" again after leaving ?

There used to be a screen that saved your chat strings as cookies and allowed you to name them and tap/click them to re-enter but Austin got rid of it for now and wants to add it back as a native-app-only feature
He is concerned that if you save any cookies, any browser extension you have installed can read your cookies and thus compromise your privacy (e.g. by decrypting all your messages as well as everyone else's messages -- your chat strings are also your decryption key)
