that's interesting. i love the ability to seamlessly switch between clients and devices, but what you're describing sounds much more customizable. :3
No problem. Talking to you is helping me think this through.
And, another thing, is that all signers are also clients, and all clients are also signers. You could add a small, generic form to your browser extension, or to a native app, that just allows you to post the most-popular note kinds or replies, and then you could just write and interact from there, while reading from whatever whiz-bang app you're looking at. Just need to copy the ID of the event you're looking at.
I do this with my CLI, already. I write from Sybil, on my laptop, and read from Alexandria on my phone. Imagine if Amber or nostr:npub1qdjn8j4gwgmkj3k5un775nq6q3q7mguv5tvajstmkdsqdja2havq03fqm7's signer had a kind 01 note and reaction form.
You could even include your favorite relay and just stick to that, to keep your digital relay footprint down. That's why I always like to read and write only to theforest, and theforest spreads my notes around, and fetches my favorite npubs, on the server side.
Do you ever think about this stuff nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn ?

Well, look at whichever app that you are currently using. You probably have a little button or menu, on each note, that allows you to copy the event ID. So, you would copy that, paste it into your signer, and then start typing out your note.
You could even make it smoother, so that you just double-click or press on the event ID and the signer opens.
'signers' have been severely neglected.. the most important part of nostr 😂
Chip has one, that's why I tagged him.
With signers, you need some feature, to get people to switch. Having a generic input field, would be a feature. IMO. I'd totally switch for that.
I was thinking this, while setting up our first input fields for Alexandria and the GitCitadel homepage. It's literally just a textbox with a submit button. Was thinking of forking nos2x-fox and just adding the damn textbox. 😂
Something like Amber or Citrine could add something like this. A "dumb writer".
You legit never need to login to our apps, to use them well. Because they were built without write-capabilities. They're viewers first. You can just wander onto the pages from the Internet, and read books or examine repos, or surf the social feed, or search for events, or read wiki pages or articles, or...
