Nostr Web Client

Logging into Nostr services is so wonderful. When I don’t have my password or my manager is acting up (happens often) on mobile, I just give up and wait until I’m on desktop again.

But I just did this with nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 and remembered they had the “login with DM” and in a few seconds was in my account.

I love it. The key based web is gonna solve so many annoying fucking problems😭🙏🏻

I do have a question for nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w though, I don’t seem to have anyway to upload media on mobile. Is this my browser or is there something not showing right on the mobile version of the page? 🤔

how does login with dm works?

Guy Swann 7mo ago

They just DM a link and/or code for your session and you click or copy/paste.

This is a peak nostr login experience.

Smart

True, although this flow is arguably also available in normie land via passkeys (with a bit less portability but higher security compared to nsecs)

Guy Swann 7mo ago

True, but the trade off is bigger there, imo. With the email login I still have to login to my email, which very often send me down the same circular shit with verifying another code somewhere else. And 90% of the time they add a captcha too. Not to mention email is often the most vulnerable and attacked service.

Whereas with Nostr keys they don’t have to care if my IP is different, and my Nostr client isn’t storing my keys on their servers to be hacked and compromise 10 million accounts at once, and my Nostr client experience is just faster and simpler than the alternatives I have with every legacy service.

I am implementing passkey support for a company and I can say it is significantly more convenient than the state of Nostr login, and the same if not more secure

bjorn 7mo ago

Agreed, although a lot of that is companies just generally sucking at this kind of thing. We could theoretically just do straight passkey signup / signin without all the extra stuff. It's largely equivalent technology as I understand it

Like this?

Guy Swann 7mo ago

That button isn’t there for me…

The Fishcake (nostr.build) 7mo ago

Hmm, very strange. Can you put your phone into landscape mode and see if it show? 🤔🤔🤔

Guy Swann 7mo ago

Yeah tried that already too. Just not showing up. I “requested the desktop site” also but it didn’t change (not sure if it’s any different)

The Fishcake (nostr.build) 7mo ago

I may have screwed up the CSS somehow, will fix today if that’s the case. Sorry about that.🙇‍♂️

The Fishcake (nostr.build) 7mo ago

Can you please quickly check the number of remaining days for your account, in the side bar. Thank you 🙏🏻

Guy Swann 7mo ago

Oh shit I’m expired! 🤣

Thanks I wasn’t paying attention to that at all. I’d actually suggest leaving the button and then having it tell me, “your account is expired, pay this QR yo renew and upload” or whatever. Stupid people like me need it 😂

The Fishcake (nostr.build) 7mo ago

Sorry, yeah, we try to be subtle about it and not into your face. I will try to make it a little more mobile friendly and obvious 🫂

Guy Swann 7mo ago

Just upgraded to Creator anyway 👏🏻

The Fishcake (nostr.build) 7mo ago

Thank you! 🫂🫂🫂

"key based web" - I like it!

Common Sense 7mo ago
