Yakihonne Update: Introducing YakiPro, Subscriptions, AI Writing Tools, and a Completely Redesigned Experience.
After three months of intensive building, we're excited to unveil the biggest Yakihonne release ever. This update brings together everything we've been working on since June — a ground-up visual redesign, a professional creator suite, native subscriptions, AI-powered writing and reading tools, and self-hosted key management — all shipping across Web and Mobile.

Login with Google: Pomegranate Key Recovery
No more losing your Nostr identity. We've deployed our own Pomegranate FROST remote signer infrastructure.
- Google Sign-In — create or recover a Nostr account using your Google login
- FROST threshold signatures — your private key is sharded across multiple independent operators. No single server can reconstruct it
- Self-hosted infrastructure — auth.yakihonne.com, po.yakihonne.com, and pomadmin.yakihonne.com, all operated by us alongside independent third-party operators
- Key recovery in settings — recover your private key from your linked Google account at any time

YakiPro: The Professional Creator Suite
Introducing YakiPro — a dedicated app for creators and publishers who are serious about building on Nostr.
- Dedicated creator interface with its own unique navigation, layout, and theme
- Advanced analytics — engagement stats, follower growth charts, zap tracking, and top-performing content
- Scheduled notes — write now, publish later
- NIP-63 subscriber management — manage your premium subscribers, relay access, pricing, and delegation
- NIP-05 identity settings — manage your verified Nostr identity
- Language & theme settings — customise your workspace
- Available on both Web (v1.0.0) and Mobile (v0.0.1)

Why This Update Matters
- Professional publishing on Nostr is here. YakiPro + the rebuilt article editor + AI tools give creators everything they need to publish, monetise, and grow — natively on Nostr
- Subscriptions without middlemen. Native NIP-63 subscriptions, in-app purchases, and a points economy mean creators earn directly from their audience
- Key recovery solves onboarding. Google Sign-In via Pomegranate's FROST threshold signatures means new users can join Nostr without ever worrying about seed phrases or raw private keys
- A design that invites exploration. The glass/fluid UI and content-focused redesign make Yakihonne feel like a premium, modern platform
