Nostr Web Client

Why have it even as an option?

I am guessing two possibilities:

1. The friction to onboard new users would be pretty high as it currently stands, if they have to go and figure out using a key extension.

2. The developer, in this case @hodlbod, would need to trust that the signing extension options are excellent, and have been audited rigorously.

I can imagine that as a developer, if one knows one is acting in good faith, it might be easier to trust oneself and one’s intentions, than those of others?

Curious to hear thoughts, esp from developers nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy

Nsec login definitely doesn't make much sense, aside from "bunkers are high friction for now so Damus users should just paste nsec". This will improve as bunkers improve, I will share a significant step forward in this area next week.

Local nsec signup makes total sense - let users start asap but then let them export nsec to a bunker. Nostr-login widget has this option built-in, only works with nsec.app for now but will be proposed as NIP upgrade when we are confident it's good enough.

I agree, nsec.app is the smoothest experience I've seen so far. Thinking about seeing if I can integrate it into the onboarding experience in Coracle, friction notwithstanding.

Awesome! I'm sure there's a lot to improve there, please let me know if you have ideas or issues.
