As a "tech retard" I get stuck here and cannot log in....why can't I just type in my nostr key to log in?
Presenting... π https://bookstr.xyz, a simple Goodreads alternative built on Nostr!
This is an extremely basic prototype that only barely works (user beware!). However, I think it highlights what is amazing about building on Nostr. I was inspired by this post, and then able to build a client in 3 days almost entirely with AI.
The opportunity to bridge social behavior with "other stuff" (in this case, books via Open Library API) is huge. This concept could work for any type of content, not just books. Music, Movies and TV, games, etc. β all on Nostr.
The process of building on Nostr with AI also demonstrated a few gaps in the ecosystem where AI-ready tools were missing or failing, so there is definitely opportunity to grow there.
Shout out nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj76r9de5x7atnv5h8xmmrd9skctmjv4kxz7gqyqzxrl97e3xrxazrnyeddw83zf5uekmue9e667js4cmzmvf4536d6qvllke who had many of these ideas first, helped me with lots of the Nostr event specifics, and solved a couple bugs!
Overall, I'm extremely impressed by what can be done with AI on Nostr and all the doors this will open! I'm excited to keep working on this. #bookstr #GrowNostr #AI #Nostr

yeah same
Right now it only supports Nostr Login via Nostr.band which is a nice login tool for Nostr you can just immediately plug in. You can use an extension, a signing app, or basically anything besides raw nsec (which is for your safety, bc I wouldn't trust it with your nsec yet probably! lol!)
I have my issues with signing extensions. Alby is the only one I know of with multi account support. I will jump ship as soon as a high quality alternative is available.
Good on you. Never allow users to enter their nsec directly. π₯
Ok got it, thanks a lot π Iβll go mess with it and well done for the amazing idea !!
I can't use extensions on mobile and bunkers almost never work for me, they just hang.
I wish more sites would support DM logins
