I compared a few key signers, did a little side-by-side on them. What really surprised me is that some browser add-ons just store the user's nsec in plain text right in the browser's local storage, where it could be read by other add-ons!

No such problems with #NoorSigner, since it runs locally in the file system and talks to the #NoorNote client over Unix socket IPC. That said, it came out that NoorSigner was using the weaker XOR encryption instead of the more secure AES. And I fixed that up today, it'll be in the next release, insh'Allah.

What all desktop key signers did you compare?

I’ve added key.band later on because somebody mentioned it. But that’s all for now. I basically just did this comparison to see if there are maybe some good practices I might've missed when implementing NoorSigner.
