Hermes: Ermis shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E), sidebar add-on, vCard import, brand kit Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+M -> Ctrl+Shift+E. Chrome owns Ctrl+Shift+M as 'switch profile' and E matches the Greek spelling (Ermis). Sidebar discoverability: new bundled add-on at bundled-addons/hermes/ registers a left-strip icon + launcher panel. The panel is a thin chrome (mark + 'Open Messages' + shortcut hint) that forwards clicks through api.onMessage -> ipcMain.emit('hermes-open-request') -> openHermesWindow. All real messaging code stays in main.js — add-on is purely for discovery. Address book: opt-in vCard (.vcf) import. Dialog in the Add Contact modal lets the user pick a file; main.js parses BEGIN:VCARD blocks for X-BNS-NAME / X-NOSTR-NPUB / X-NOSTR-PUBKEY plus .bch names and npubs mentioned in NOTE fields. Candidates are previewed per-contact with checkboxes; nothing is added until the user confirms. Non-matching vCards are returned too (so the user can still add manually) rather than silently dropped. Nothing is uploaded; parsing is local. site/hermes: status badge flipped from 'designed - not yet built' to 'MVP - desktop'. New 'What ships today' grid covers threaded chat, send by name, address book, local history (all live) and mobile + Tor (next / planned). Hero carries the new Ctrl+Shift+E shortcut and a link to /hermes/branding. site/hermes/branding: new page. Mark SVG (winged envelope, two variants for 16-20px and 24-160px display sizes), palette (reuses Silent Mode tokens + an amber accent that's distinctly warm-yellow, not Hermes-orange — so it never collides with Hermès the fashion house), name explanation (English Hermes / Greek Ermis), voice notes, do/don't table, MPL-2.0 attribution. Hermes/MOBILE-RECOMMENDATION.md: analysis of three mobile paths (inside Ariadne / standalone / hybrid). Recommendation is Option 1: ship as a screen inside Ariadne. Reuses the wallet seed, aligns with the design doc's 'one seed many purposes' architecture, lowest total cost.

<h2>The name</h2>
<p>In English the product is <b>Hermes</b> — after the Greek god of messengers,
travellers, and crossings. In modern Greek the same name is <b>Ermis</b>
(Ἑρμῆς). Both pronunciations are correct; written form is always Hermes
outside Greek contexts.</p>
<p>The keyboard shortcut inside Theseus is <code class="inline">Ctrl+Shift+E</code> —
E for Ermis, and off the collision path with Chrome's own Ctrl+Shift+M
("switch profile").</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>The mark</h2>
<p class="lede">A winged helmet (<i>petasos</i>) — the mythological signature
of Hermes, the messenger god. Picked over a literal envelope because the
envelope is generic (every mail client uses it) and because an envelope
doesn't say <i>fast</i>. Works monochrome, scales from 16 px (sidebar icon)
to 160 px (hero) without legibility loss. SVG uses
<code class="inline">currentColor</code> so it inherits whatever text
colour it sits in.</p>

Hermes: Ermis shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E), sidebar add-on, vCard import, brand kit Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+M -> Ctrl+Shift+E. Chrome owns Ctrl+Shift+M as 'switch profile' and E matches the Greek spelling (Ermis). Sidebar discoverability: new bundled add-on at bundled-addons/hermes/ registers a left-strip icon + launcher panel. The panel is a thin chrome (mark + 'Open Messages' + shortcut hint) that forwards clicks through api.onMessage -> ipcMain.emit('hermes-open-request') -> openHermesWindow. All real messaging code stays in main.js — add-on is purely for discovery. Address book: opt-in vCard (.vcf) import. Dialog in the Add Contact modal lets the user pick a file; main.js parses BEGIN:VCARD blocks for X-BNS-NAME / X-NOSTR-NPUB / X-NOSTR-PUBKEY plus .bch names and npubs mentioned in NOTE fields. Candidates are previewed per-contact with checkboxes; nothing is added until the user confirms. Non-matching vCards are returned too (so the user can still add manually) rather than silently dropped. Nothing is uploaded; parsing is local. site/hermes: status badge flipped from 'designed - not yet built' to 'MVP - desktop'. New 'What ships today' grid covers threaded chat, send by name, address book, local history (all live) and mobile + Tor (next / planned).

Mark SVG (winged envelope, two variants for 16-20px and 24-160px display sizes), palette (reuses Silent Mode tokens + an amber accent that's distinctly warm-yellow, not Hermes-orange — so it never collides with Hermès the fashion house), name explanation (English Hermes / Greek Ermis), voice notes, do/don't table, MPL-2.0 attribution. Hermes/MOBILE-RECOMMENDATION.md: analysis of three mobile paths (inside Ariadne / standalone / hybrid). Recommendation is Option 1: ship as a screen inside Ariadne.

same deep panels — so it never looks like a separate app glued on.
Warm amber and orange are extra accents for Hermes-specific moments

<h2>Voice</h2>
<ul class="steps">
<li><b>Blunt about limits.</b> "Relays still see recipient and timing" is the
tone, not "fully anonymous messaging". Say what the design does and does
not solve.</li>
<li><b>No evangelism about Nostr.</b> Nostr is the transport, not the
product. Mention it where it matters (relays, pubkeys, NIP-17) and don't
elsewhere.</li>
<li><b>"Message by name"</b> is the one-line pitch. Everything else is
supporting detail.</li>
<li><b>Lowercase</b> for product nouns in body copy (hermes, messages
panel). Capital <b>Hermes</b> for titles and the first mention per page.</li>
