nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 has been making some solid quality-of-life improvements with recent updates to Amber. The app has been working nicely for me lately, would recommend.

Just updated and noticed a Finch of new features I'll have to test

Yeah I think you can make the login process with a bunker managed by amber so that you don't need to previously create an application in amber.
The flow would be really cool if you could somehow login by typing your nostr username and then amber sees the bunker request from the set relays
Ops, didn't finished the post:
..., creates the amber application and then you are ready to go (without needing to first copy the string from the phone app to the site you are trying to login)
I have an option similar to that in the next version of noStrudel. You can initiate the nostr connect from the app side.
So you click a button, get a QR code. Click on the QR code and it opens amber, I just need to out it in a more obvious spot in the UI
What... Is amber?
Nostr signing app. Amethyst/Amber/Citrine for the killer combo.
So... Like alby but it's own app?
More or less, yep!
Amber implements NIP-46. It stores your nsec and signs notes on behalf of your npub without ever revealing your nsec to the client.
It can fully replace local app storage of nsecs as well as NIP-07 browser extensions (like Alby) for apps that support remote signing.
Just tacking on to that, web apps don't seem to work often or at all. I think they just need time to get it implemented. Ncryptsec can be generated, though. Things like npub.cash can be signed in that way.
I've used Amber to sign in to noStrudel, though I still use Alby for most browser apps.
