#SeedSigner still highly underrated.
Discussion
The issue I have with my seedsigner is that in order to use it I need to keep a plain text (or QR) copy of a seed phrase in the house.
With a pin protected device I don't need to have that. They have their own vulnerabilities, but for me the trade off makes more sense.
Maybe I'm missing something about the seedsigner functionality.
A seedqr is very discreet compared with 24 words, and a passphrase can be sufficiently complex as to deny entry if the seedqr is compromised.
Backup seedqrs offline in multiple places and keep your passphrase in a password manager or also offline.
My friend used a dremel tool to write his on some nondescript piece of steel attached to his car or house... I donr rememember.
Have another friend who actually made a clothing tag containing the seedqr and attached it discretely to a sports jacket in his closet. 😂
Passphrases can be memorized, too.
Just be sure to generate offline a strong, but memorable, passphrase, like:

I prefer the CompactSeedQR, as it reads our to binary, which is going to be unintelligible to normies and only make sense to the appropriate app.
I know that nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl supports #CompactSeedQR, but not sure if nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Jade does.

That's it. The UX is terrible because you're more frequently interacting with the raw seed phrase.
Who came up with the SeedQR first? Seedsigner or Blockstream Jade?
I believe nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl came up with specs for #SeedQR and #CompactSeedQR.

That's what I thought too. I remember being AMAZED at the level of details between them being listed for free on GH, the amount of different versions to print, the easiest thing in the world to get, from anywhere in the world, I mean it felt purely open source to the core.
I didn't know they were on Nostr! nostr:nprofile1qqs09jtvjlmyrxjn37zv70a89csegcz7rpyqjmnw29cveedhv7vagqqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejs92xe5k I love y'all. Just need a better camera but that's a detail. 🧡🥂 This thing is built with resilience in mind, from the edge. YOU FEEL IT! 🔥Thank you. 👏
SeedSigner is great, but the camera sucks ass.
Sure. Curious to see where the project goes in 10 years.
Krux is the best.
