Nostr Web Client

People like to overcomplicate things. Then pretend that it is better and easier than before.

We need 3rd party extensions to manage our keys for us because we're not able to keep passwords and strings of numbers and letters safe I guess...

Although, I think it's more where you're using it to log in that can't keep it safe....

And I think that's a fundamental flaw with nostr.

Imagine Google, FB, or Apple telling you "yeah we can't keep your password safe, you'll have to install this extension by another 3rd party to use our services." That's basically what nostr clients are saying by not allowing nsec login.

Made by devs, for devs... 🙄

Nostr clients are not Google or FB. They do not take control of your keys, do not take control of your account and therefore cannot abuse your trust.

In fact many websites do exactly what you were saying by implementing social logins. Let a tech giant handle authentication and user gets to manage less usernames and passwords... win win.

I understand all this. Normal people do not so it's hard to purple pill them because it's to complicated just to login to a new client or to go from amethyst to primal etc in search of their preferred UI / features.

Imo, nsec bunker fixes this but client support is not there yet.

I can empathize with your viewpoint. There is still a lot that needs to be done to solve these kind of problems and many more.

I see Nostr as a hold my beer opportunity in regards to how I know to unleash its potential. It would just be nice to be able to team up with a handful of excellent devs to work together on a Nostr FOSS project privately.

Then unleash the fruits of our imaginations. To improve upon a clown world starved for quality posted content. By co-creating the best Nostr tools and apps for the daunting task of making widespread adoption happen gracefully for anyone. Whenever our work is production ready.

As you can see. Im smoking some of that good shit called having pipe dreams right now. Lol
