Announcing Plaza, a native Nostr client for macOS. 🎉
I built it because I wanted a feed that is already there when the window opens. Plaza keeps your notes in a local database and draws from disk first, then lets the relays catch up behind you. A feed query takes 0.28ms, so there is nothing to wait for.
I wrote it in Zig. No Electron, no WebView, no browser hiding in the binary. It opens straight into a feed as well, with no sign-up or welcome wall, because reading Nostr never needed a key.
Your key can stay out of it entirely if you want. Sign through Notary over NIP-46 and Plaza never sees it. Notary signs for other clients too, so it can be your signer everywhere rather than only here.
It is early, and I would rather say so than have you find out: no DMs, no zaps, no search yet.
If you are on macOS, tell me what breaks. And if you are not: what does your current client get wrong?
