 @wherostr is a (new?) Nostr client (native for iOS and android) created by our nostrich friends from Thailand. 

Problem is, it’s NOT OPENSOURCE. This matters MORE than you think.

Because native clients can READ AND STORE YOUR PRIVATE KEY (unlike web clients which leverage a browser extension for key management), having their source code available for audit is ESSENTIAL in keeping these companies honest. 

What does YOUR native client do with YOUR private key? We should all know…
