Despite its issues, Garnet's existence opened the gates for me to start weakly recommending some nostr apps. Having a client with a built-in monero wallet is dope and was one of the biggest things on my nostr wish list.

By easing my sense of urgency about built-in wallets, it also helped me refine my thoughts about the new top item in that "nostr wish list" - a nostr tipping protocol with a third-party service that can store and privately release wallet addresses to provide address rotation for users with no always-connected devices. Implementing this would probably be about as hard as implementating a built-in wallet, but at least no built-in wallet is actually required.
