For all the Nostr developers out there I challenge you to use your apps in manual approve mode ( no automatic signing ) with a signer like alby or amber. I'm willing to bet it will be almost unusable

I would say at least half of the apps I've seen built on Nostr just don't work unless you give the app full control over your key, by either pasting the nsec or giving it automatic signing privlages.

This is bad UX and shows that the app does not respect the user at all. What's the point of having cryptographic signatures if I can only uses them in "sign everything" mode?

I will zap you 10k SATs if you post a screenshare in the next day or so of how well the app works or doesn't work with manual signing

Considering that there can be anything for anything on nostr, and there being a lot of kinds, here's a better solution (UX wise, a decent compromise between full trust and manual: Timed Trust):

Provide a new option for signers to implement:

"Fully trust for the next TIME"

TIME: 15 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month

Extra: to add custom timings the user can change.
