for example, when I made this video, nostr connect didn't support nip-26 yet

there you can see specifically the functionality that NIP-46 enables
nip-26 allows you to create temporary derived keys for signing events in behalf of a root key. nip-26 and nip-46 (derived temporary keys and remote signing) can be combined https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/46.md#delegate

do the mobile clients support nostr connect? if not we should put a bounty out, we need this widely available imo. want to have a list of apps i can direct users to and stop using nsecs.
this would be cool to have in damus #[6]
💯
NIP-46 was merged very, very recently; when I added support for it, it was far from being merged, but I rolled the dice since I wanted to show a real-world use of it
so no, mobile clients definitely don't support it yet
I agree a bounty would be a good idea
want to spearhead the bounty proposal and send a PR to https://github.com/coinkite/bountsr.org.pub ? you have great understanding of the NIPs involved, I'll zap 1M sats to this note to add to the bounty if we go ahead.
