Nostr Web Client

It has some flaws, but somehow I like it, it's an interesting solution; exploitation of visual memory in the UX and security is underestimated.

The first point to check is the entrophy and robustness of the generated key; 4 emoji seems really few (consider also that the full list has 1874 emoji, bip39 has 2048 words), but a password with an imposed min lenght could make the difference.

PS: I really like your attention for design's details, well done Niel.

There are 3664 emojis, no?

you only need 2048, otherwise it's an ugly codebook

I checked this https://unicode-org.github.io/emoji/emoji/charts-15.0/emoji-list.html and it seems updated to unicode v15.1. Where do you count 3664?

Btw, some emojis have just a slight difference, e.g. color, and this could make harder recall the correct one.

1. Skin color, gender etc nearly double those 1874 in the unicode list

2. It's ok if you don't recall the correct one exactly, because you have infinite tries and know what to look for

There is only 1874 base emojis? That's too few. If you cut to 1024 from that, it's 10 bits per symbol and you'd need to extend to 14 for the same bit size.

I think 2048 symbols is too many, also.

But so long as you give the set as an input panel, ok.
