Nostr Web Client

We often talk about what can be built on or with Nostr, but we don't talk about what can't or shouldn't? When it comes to the apps that I use on the daily, I don't think there's anything that Nostr couldn't be integrated into at some level. Nostr is incredibly simple. This makes it versatile.

Though, I don't think I'd want to use the same set of keys for everything though. Some applications I'd want more privacy or want to use different identities and some applications I'd want to separate the flow or co-mingling of data.

I had a thought, I don't know whether this is already a thing, but ... XPUBs...

If an identity was an XPUB, and messages can be written by a sub key that is hot, then you can use the XPUB to link different public keys to a single person and use each one for different things.

Eg. Key 2 can be used to receive bitcoin, while key 3 is used to sign software etc.

1 public identity, many keys that can be managed differently for different purposes.

This sounds kind of similar to NIP-26. It would allow for key delegation. You'd be able to use different keys for different apps all authorized by the main private key.

I'll give that one a read tonight. Thanks.
