Startr is a assistant to start/use nostr and improve your UX as much as possible.

At the moment it's a very basic but functional program.

The idea for the project came from messing around with @3235036bd0957dfb27ccda02d452d7c763be40c91a1ac082ba6983b25238388c , talking to him we thought that a more secure way to use his client could be developed, as currently to start it you have to copy and paste your private keys into the terminal.

This adds some vulnerabilities, as for example when you copy/paste keys into a command they are stored in the bash session. This is not serious as long as you use your personal computer and it is not compromised. However, this can be improved and for this I created Startr.

After finishing the setup, Startr will hash(SHA256) your key with your password and with this you will be able to store it safely and start #nostr_console reducing the vulnerability mentioned above.

The generated file is a json file with your data, this file can be used as a backup.

This is an open project, feel free to review the code, fork, do PRs, give feedback or even contribute w value for value if you liked it :)
