Vega v0.14.2
Cross-platform Nostr desktop client — polished UI, deep Lightning integration, first-class long-form writing.
Windows note: The installer is not yet code-signed. Windows SmartScreen will show an "Unknown publisher" warning — click "More info → Run anyway" to install.
What's new in v0.14.2
- More reliable key storage on Linux. Vega now stores your secret key in the system secret service (gnome-keyring / KWallet) instead of the kernel keyring. Your key now survives reboots reliably, and persists inside sandboxed installs (Flatpak) — groundwork for shipping Vega on Flathub. macOS and Windows are unchanged.
Linux upgrade note: because the storage backend changed, you'll sign in once after updating (the old entry isn't readable by the new backend). After that it persists as normal. Requires a running secret-service provider — gnome-keyring or KWallet, standard on GNOME/KDE and most desktops.
