A challenge for nostr is to be able to use it securely with multiple devices. I want to be able to save something on my desktop. And have it show up on my laptop. Edit on my laptop and have it show up on my phone. But I dont want to give my master key to my phone which may be left on a table etc. Each device needs it's own key. But they should be LINKED together, so that the app can know they are part of a key ring. Seems a valuable use case that has yet to be solved... Let's fix it!

Having a key mgr app on my phone, and using itt seemlessly from nostr apps on the same device, as well from my laptop pretty much achieves the goal (Amber in my case). It's not a keyring, but a single private key, but for me that's a detail, it works.
Key hierarchy delegation (Nip-26) became a failure,dure to thecomplexityy and the user foresight needed.
Keet doesn’t do exactly this, but it’s helpful for creating backups between online machines
Nsec.app is a solid option for #nostr
Syncs on devices
not an expert, but i beleive with frostr both devices could have a separate key share
Yep, every device has it's own key share. And they are intrinsically linked through the FROST cryptography in a provable way.
Your nsec can stay offline forever, used only to create a new set of shares.
