Marmot is a messaging protocol you can add to any Nostr client. Build your own interface, customize the workflow, keep encrypted groups interoperable across every app that implements it. Users stay because the UX fits them, not because they are locked in. This talk covers the MDK and what it takes to integrate Marmot into your app.
