Nostr Web Client

There isn't one like Amber on Android yet.

Nsec.app is a signer in the web browser, but most Nostr apps don't yet support remote signing. Not sure which ones on iOS do.

Also, the UX for nsec.app is not great since it requires you to navigate back to their web page every time you want to approve a signing event. So you end up needing to keep a browser tab open to that page and switch back to it often, because everything you do on Nostr requires a signature.

Is this one of the occasions where apple restrains ux improvements because they wont allow reckless decentralized apps or is it just that nobody did an amber for iOS users yet?

nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf can probably speak more to why it hasn't been done yet. He's working on one for iOS called Yeti, and from conversations we've had in the past, certain things about how iOS works make it a more difficult task than on Android.

It has nothing to do with decentralization. Apple sandboxes its apps and limits background and cross-app activity, presumably for security and performance reasons.

Thanks for clarification Terry

Btw. off topic but 20 years ago I'd built a system called YETI :)

I’ll try to do the name justice then!
