This video finally made me try out Keychat again. From what I can see in two minutes of logging in and poking around is this is very well done and fully functional. You don't NEED to *buy* anything to use it, even though the literature leads with the concept of needing to "buy postage". Howevrr it's not necessary to futz with money or buy anyone's tokens to try it out. This makes onboarding friends 100% easier than I assumed. Keychat not only operates on ecash in a 'tipping the relay' capacity (ostensibly for postage), but the built-in wallet that supports this tipping is not half-assed or shoehorned in. It can be used to send money to friends, or pay for things on websites. The CashU wallet is integral to the app and even offers serving up your balance to other apps via NWC! The dual-function of chat + browser with nostr login support is a vision you can only understand by seeing it for yourself. Look with your own eyes, install it! It costs you nothing. Nostr + lightning in a browser on your phone without clunky broken chrome plugins that need a password every time you want to fail trying again??? Heresy! Finally, the most important part: Nostr support. This is a FULL FLEDGED nostr app, not a shitstorm of broken trash and single-use identities like most apps that attempt more than one feature with nostr. Neither is this is a polished turd, it actually works (the first time!) It supports (a) make your own identity, (b) past in your existing key, and (c) AMBER NOSTR SIGNER! Who knew? Kudos Keychat!
