It already happened a long time ago. The masses are just beginning to wake up 😇

Thanks 💜💜

We’ll see what we can do :)

Thanks for sharing Chief :) May we ask: do you usually use Vanilla or Honey?

Thank you Dave, we appreciate your support :)

Thanks to your constant support, We keep the lights on and #Hivetalk free :) Cheers!

We’ll keep in mind the perk of having this 1 link click 👍 Thanks!

What is Honey Hivetalk? The game-changer we dropped in October 2025 as an early-stage working product. Built from the ground up with client and relay support, it scales effortlessly to thousands of users. We’re added more native #Nostr features, better handling for spotty internet in remote areas, and seamless integration for massive events. Honey isn’t just bigger—it’s smarter, turning video calls into zap-fueled social experiences. By year’s end, Honey’s beta has been live for three solid months, proving its mettle in real-world chaos. We’ve hosted everything from yoga flows to vibe coding meetups, and the feedback? It’s sweet as... well, you know.

Thanks for your feedback Dave! You rock!🔥

What is Vanilla Hivetalk? Our OG client-only setup, capped at 100 participants for cozy, intimate gatherings. Released in early 2024 as a proof-of-concept, it’s now been humming along for a full 20 months as of January. Perfect for quick team huddles or small #Nostr meetups, it’s the reliable workhorse that’s kept our community buzzing without a hitch. You can check it out at: https://vanilla.hivetalk.org/active

Hivetalk users, we need your opinion / feedback. Do you prefer using Vanilla even though it's only the videoconferencing, it can't scale and has worse fidelity? Or do you prefer the posibility of scale that Honey offers and all the #nostr tools that are enabled? #asknostr

Thanks!

2025 was the year HiveTalk truly took flight. Remember our initial goal? What started as a scrappy prototype #Nostr + #Lightning video conferencing has now blossomed into a thriving hub for global connections. That vision evolved rapidly, into two versions: Vanilla Hivetalk and Honey Hivetalk. If you haven't already, be sure to check them out at https://hivetalk.org/

A new year to hive, A new year to thrive 🐝 💜⚡ 🙌

A big win in 2025 was getting the #Nostr protocol specification extended to handle interactive media rooms. @ wrote the extension to NIP-53 for true interoperability. Originally designed for one-to-many live streams (think Kind 30311 on Zap.Stream ), we pushed it further with Kind 30312 for interactive audio/video rooms. Both Hivetalk Honey and Vanilla support Kind 30312, as well as NostrNests.com, an audio space hangout. This integration isn’t just technical—it’s philosophical. HiveTalk slots right into Nostr’s decentralized fabric, enhancing without overshadowing. As we wrapped up 2025, seeing our events ripple through other clients felt like the ultimate validation.

#Hivetalk has been deepening Roots in the #Nostr Ecosystem 🔥 HiveTalk was never meant to be a silo—it’s the “Other Stuff” in Nostr’s “Notes and Other Stuff” ethos. In 2025, we doubled down on interoperability, ensuring we play nice with your favorite Twitter/X-style clients like Damus, Primal, Jumble, and Amethyst. Moving beyond nostr identities, honey allows users to create permanent rooms and moderator lists based on nostr users. Calendar events tied to rooms round out this set of features, but there’s more. If an organizer wants to schedule notes we’ve added that option as well in the Posta Nota section. Want to create notes that mention your events or adjust your relays? Maybe share a page with your rooms and events? That’s now all built in as well. https://youtu.be/AV_msRgCTSk

The differences between Vanilla and Honey in a nutshell.
