So people want to hop to another app every time they want to like something, post something, etc. seems like a nightmare for UX.

Imo. As long as the app you’re using is open source it’s quite easy to feel comfortable with the app storing your key as long as it’s done properly. For instance on iOS I would expect it to be stored in keychain properly.

I understand having an offline signer for something like your bitcoin keys.

You can approve all interactions once...

Everyone saying bad ux have clearly never used amber...

Everything gets signed automatically once you set it up. It's the same experience as putting your nsec in, and you can be more detailed about what you choose to sign if you want.

Gotcha. So so you basically whitelist certain signing different kinds per app. That would be a little smoother, however there’s still that initial interaction with amber I guess.

Yes. The flow is about as tedious as Login with Apple.

When you Login with Amber, you'll see a screen like this. Then it's just special case things that will open Amber to ask for permission. So most things you typically do won't open Amber.

Right, but I could imagine unless you approve all the app could request many things you need to approve no? Anyways I’m not against this, it’s nice for someone who wants this level of security. However I don’t see normal everyday users wanting to be bothered with this. Mass adoption type people wouldn’t go for even this type of friction.

Mass adoption 😆

😂 hopeful right?!
