So close to cracking the code to get a viable native iOS Nostr signer proof of concept working. I think I’ve verified almost all possible approaches that will work.

1. nostrsigner:// URL scheme + callbacks ✅

2. Signer iOS shortcut + clipboard ✅

3. Signer iOS action extension via Share Sheet (last step to figure out how to pass data back from extension to host app)

More tomorrow.

People always ask about an Amber alternative for iOS and I always tell them nothing exists. This is fantastic news. Keep up the great work!

Nice

Fantastic!

Can I be the new guy and ask why this matters in 1-2 sentences?

No more yolo’ing your nsec into random apps.

Nice 👍🏻. Ok yea I’ve done that 3 times across Damus, Primal, and Fountain and spidey senses were going off…

How do you just know how to do stuff?

There’s much I don’t know. It’s just a lot of reading, experimenting, persistence, and patience.

Lets go!

Nice

iOS users are missing out so much, It's not even funny!

This gets them one small step closer.

Amazing - please let me know if you need help beta testing - would love to test out!

Would love to have Fountain be one of the first Nostr clients to integrate with the signer once it’s ready!

Yes 💯 we will integrate this as soon as it's stable!
