Nostr Web Client

Let me explain what I mean with an example.

You visit a new website, you can have 2 scenarios:

1) Register with email, password

2) Login in with Nostr

For a Nostr user, do you think they have the same appeal? The 2 has less friction, so higher conversion.

For a non Nostr user, see the same logo in several contexts reinforce the idea that this "thing" is sometime valuable, so push to try/learn more about it.

do you think Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp users how the Meta account behind the scenes works and is set up? 🤔

closest to a legacy social media analogy i know to bring here

also is there necessity for "login with nostr" when nsec could eventually become as essential as your personal id code, which you could login with

"login with nsec"

I’ve actually been thinking on it for a while, and was going to do a bit of a longer write up on this:

I think going forward Nostr will flourish as a “login” like Google, Apple, etc. Normies won’t care how Nostr works, but it can replace log in with Google and have more benefits than a Google account offers due to the shared social graph.

Clients will become the “websites” and needs will become login details. At least that’s the way I see it. The nostr protocol will fall in to the background in the same way that no one really knows how email works, other than you can access it from multiple mail clients if you can log in

I’d love to hear other people’s thought on this

Google/Facebook/etc users well know that they can use the "Login with...", and spot them immediatly because the button is graphically recognizable and tied with the company name. No need to know all the tech background.

Given that "Login with nsec" is bad on all the web contexts, and maybe also for apps in the future (we will have signer for that), why add another brand when we have "Nostr"? It only dilutes the effectiveness.

Nostr is both a protocol and a social/functional layer, you need to know that it exists, you cannot hide it.
