Damus Notedeck v0.3.0 (Alpha 2)

To celebrate two years of Damus on the App Store, the team has launched Damus Notedeck, a fast, native, multiplatform Nostr client. Previously limited to Purple subscribers, Notedeck is now publicly available for everyone to test on Linux, Windows, and macOS, with mobile support coming later.

The release brings media uploads, hashtags, profile editing, a more powerful command-line interface, and various performance improvements.

“We can’t believe it’s been TWO years today that Damus has been on the App Store. We are beyond excited that you have all stuck around and supported the team for this long. To celebrate the occasion… we’re launching Damus Notedeck! Our (very alpha) multiplatform nostr client”
