nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev talked about this in a recent podcast. Nostr allows a single login for everything we use that doesn’t require passwords. We used to have Nostrgram, but that seems to have abandoned. It would be great to have a new photo-sharing app built on the protocol and one that integrates with an array of file storage platforms. Data vending machines are a really interesting concept, but they need work on the interfaces and features. Crowdfunding, job searching, and Lightning-enabled gig economy services can all be built here as well. But one thing that will hold back adoption is still key management and the adoption curve of not having a centralized account recovery function. We talk a lot about mass adoption, but it seems most people are not ready for that level of personal data responsibility yet.
What would make it right? Maybe there's further streamlining of nos2x to be done, but it doesn't really solve being able to login on a new device without having your nsec written down somewhere. There are custodial solutions, which have all their associated issues. A hardware device that stores keys could be used, maybe you could allow apps to save your key so you don't need to carry it around. I think I like the idea of integrating nos2x/alby functionality into self hosted password vaults, there are just a lot of issues with who wants to actually go through all of that; I think most people just want a service they can trust, unfortunately. Eh, pursue all the solutions for now and try to give people the best range of options we can; packaging packaging packaging, we need a <$100 device you can set up in 2 minutes with a QR code on your phone that has an app for your PC, caches new accounts and syncs them over WiFi when you get home, and lets you plug and play a flash drive for physical keys/backups.
