 No. Nests is a full Nostr client. Corny Chat is not. 
 I use cornychat everyday. i sign in. not sure what a full nostr client is. I think there will be some centralized nostr apps in the future.


Is it an 80% nostr app??? 
 A “full” nostr client refers to one which is fully interoperable with other nostr apps — content created and relayed in one can be seen in another, as long as there’s a shared relay. My understanding of cornychat is that it incorporates some nostr features but functions adjacent to the nostr protocol, rather than implicitly dependent on it.

I could be wrong and would appreciate clarification if I’m missing anything. Cornychat is great, nonetheless, but I believe there’s information that doesn’t get sent as nostr events to relays. 
 I appreciate you explaining this. I hope that one day there’s 100 different chats, and chat apps and more. The more the merrier!
Hivechat, and Nests, and Corny are super cool things. 
 Absolutely agree 🤝 and I’m sure there will!

I’m excited to see things like a replacement for Slack and email, where a business/corporate environment could use an app entirely built on nostr and use a private relay that only accepts and displays notes to npubs that belong to the employees 
 Corny chat is a nostr client. It’s more of a nostr client than nostr nests ever was!

 The magic in nostr is the customer seeing the same events from different perspectives in different apps! 
 Corny chat supports outside event kinds! nests is a walled garden!
