They should be hesitant. I'm not a fan, but I'm not sure how to fix it without needing a hardware device to sign everything I do.
The biggest benefit of nostr - that you can bring your follower graph to a new app - is massively constrained because people are hesitant to put in their nsec.
On web the browser extensions like Alby help with this but it still adds so much friction to onboarding when you’re essentially asking people to signup to 2 separate services, and on mobile these extensions don’t work.
The oauth like nsecbunker signup / login flow that nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft has been working on seems like it can solve this problem - but we need more examples that work seamlessly with good ux.
“Login with Nostr” needs to be as seamless as “Login with Apple / Google” on both web and mobile.
