Nostr Web Client

It would be nice to utilize the Apple Keychain on iOS to store the privatekeys and then retrieve them in the form of tokens to login similar to Nos2x or Alby. Also, another nice option would be to make use of safari extensions where Alby or Nos2x could be made available, if Apple allows it.

I think every browser on iOS uses the same engine as Safari. "Branded skin of Safari" even if it's Firefox. Firefox is restricted from adding extension ability on Apple because of their walled garden approach. Probably because of security/privacy or maybe because Apple wants everyone to use Safari.

I know that really suck. Also Safari is the new IE, always late to implement new features.

I could swear I saw a side load option to test alby on mobile, but I can’t find it now

Maybe its older and was something base on the package Alby forked.

BlueWallet could do it, they already have LAppBrowser, they could add nostr and we would been able to browser nostr web clients.
