I think he wants to build his own walled garden subconsciously. He wants people to onboard to nostr and only ever use damus. He doesn't want to add a signer that makes it easy for people that use multiple apps because why do that when I only care about using my own app... Kind of like how people onboard to primal. They think nostr is just primal. He wants normies to feel the same way about damus. It's really antithetical to the whole point of nostr...
nah, i’m just attempting to build a new and simpler way to build nostr apps, like how easy it is to build a webpage with a few lines of HTML
Heaven forbid i try to build something different than might help nostr adoption 🙄
Its basically a nostr virtual machine / OS where multi-account, payments and signing is done at the browser level instead of the host OS level.
This will enable you to build nostr apps for this virtual machine/os that works on all platforms, and had api interfaces for everything you might need in a nostr app, enabling creating of new apps in a few lines of code.
I said subconsciously. It sounds cool man but the reluctantance to integrate something most users on android are asking for doesn't make a lot of sense to me. But I'm sure you have your reasons and I won't question them.
I have explained my reasons multiple times. Amber/citrine/pokey are a model where the android OS is the host OS, notedeck is cross-platform, so having these features in the virtual machine makes things more consistent and portable across platforms.
The amount of armchair engineers telling me how to engineer this new system is wild. They think i can’t make it secure either, like somehow rawdogging it into amber will be more secure than a properly engineered signer enclave in the virtual machine separated from the micro apps.
Granted i still need to implement this since we don’t have any untrusted apps, but it won’t be any less secure than amber.
For the record I didn't chime in with armchair engineering. I read your reasoning. That's why I didn't question it. All I did was say it's a shame and it would be nice if you considered adding it because everyone on android wants it. Then I zapped you. My assumptions are just those. Assumptions. And I'm more than willing to be wrong. Fwiw I don't think nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9u2mk7fe is just an armchair engineer either. I am more than willing to admit I am. I mean with software. I'm a real engineer in construction. 😂
