Anyone working on a fork of Amber or a new Android signer that doesn't invasively require a constant relay connection in the background? Or can this already be disabled? #asknostr

Amber does 2 things with relay connections:
1. It fetches your profile information so it can show your display name and profile picture to help you distinguish whick of your npubs you are selecting to sign for.
2. It sends and receives NIP-46 remote signing messages back and forth with clients you logged into using NIP-46. The background relay connections are required for this signing method.
If you don't use NIP-46 for logging into and signing requests for any clients, I'd imagine you can simply remove all of your active relays, but if you use NIP-46 remote signing, you will need to keep them connected so Amber will see when any new signimg requests come in.
