IT'S HAPPENING! And it's actually really fucking good.

I got this from BitFest too. It works well, but this isn't what I'm talking about 🤓
"Sign in with" is the way. Tap into users' muscle memory.
No one needs to know or care what an nsec or a signer is.
We go so far out of our way to make things harder.
Reading through this thread has me thinking now. I just made a signer for Linux. And I've made an app that logs in with the signer. But it would be smoother if the main app had a signer. But what if you didn't want to run say your social client ... Every app other than it would depend on it running. I single signer app in the background is way less resource intensive.
I guess you could add it in settings and turn it on only if you want to roll that way. Otherwise run a lone signer.
Other thing is Android, iOS , windows, Linux all talk differently, so every cross platform app would have to know how to talk to all of them... Which means we need standards.
