We definitely want to have E2EE DMs—so yes, PMs that are indeed actually private so literally nobody can read them except sender and receiver—but it's really hard. Here is the ticket for that.

The ticket mentions NIP-44, but I think we can do better than building more stuff on top of nostr, a dead-end protocol if you ask me.

We've been fantasizing about implement the Signal protocol as good as we can in JS since it's the industry standard for E2EE afaik.

Since we have tons of other stuff to do (wallets & territories), DMs have been on the backlog for a while. Sorry for that, I wish we had DMs a year ago already.
