A user could even create a custom profile for throwaway npubs to use the same username consistently without having to manage keys or anything like that.

We're all used to creating accounts for everything, so that surely influences our thinking.

Could also do a NIP-05 login, akin to the npub. Then they don't have to remember anything complicated.

Like, you could be NIP-05 logged-in, and then use anon npubs to sign.

The verification with NIP-05 wouldn't work on a throwaway npub. That would be just like setting up throwaway profiles with the same username.

I meant, to login as yourself, but read-only. Then you don't need to copy-paste your npub, you can type in laeserin@...

Oh yeah that would work for read-only.

The client would need to find the profile with that NIP-05 address, then it could use that npub to construct the user's view.
