This method still exists but never really took off:
Discussion
Holy fucking shit you mean this has been an option all this time? Why doesn’t anyone use it? My mind is blown and I’m genuinely dumbfounded. This is perfectly elegant.
I love this note
🤣 I really don’t get it, how every dev makes it sound like it’s so hard to solve for user friendly sign-in to web apps on mobile and yet this exists. What am I missing? 😅
I don’t know, at some point it looked like Damus and nostr.build were going to add it, not sure what happened after
Dude holy shit seriously? I don’t do this on mobile because there’s no good solution and this is so fucking simple. I think nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 is the only one who has the login with DM that is easy enough to do real fast on mobile
💯 Even if it’s not perfect, it’s better than nothing, and it’s much easier to understand than setting up a signing extension.
I don’t think it signs events though if I’m reading the spec correctly
I think it’s just a substitute for Google Login/Apple Login etc
Still useful, but not the same thing as a signing extension
That’s great! Thanks for sharing! Is this currently active on Nostur or just a demo currently?
its active, but I think I may have broken it in some update without noticing, I will check later today
Wait, after reading through the nip more, this method doesn’t seem to operate as an event signer (unless I’m missing something)
If that’s true then how is that better than simply logging in with an npub?
If nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5's goal is to have a page where he can see how many views his media has gotten, I think that requires publishing an event to nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w ‘s NIP98 API (to get a nostr.build url) or just uploading to nostr.build directly
Let me know if I’m missing something though
I would zap you yet I guess there is a daily limit on how many sats I can purchase so I better go back to 42 onward 🫡. 😃😎
Says it’s a draft nip? I don’t see it in the official nip list
One tricky part there is iOS doesn't do disambiguation like Android does.
Could this be extended to turn nostur into a full blown signer?
Asking the right questions 👍
full blown signer is more difficult on iOS, nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf was working on something for that:
I'm implementing this on my site whenever I get some free time this week. 🤙
