Did they not try before?

If you lost the ability to Zap this morning on your favorite iOS client, you can still Zap. You just need to rewind the clock and go back to an earlier time when all Android users Zapped from mobile web clients and the Damus iOS TestFlight was full. That's right, back in December and January, we used to send Zaps (before they were called Zaps) from Nostr web clients!

You probably don't want to enter your NSEC private key into a web client, right? You don't have to do that! I'm not an iOS user, so I could be missing a step here, but I believe you have 2 options available to you.

Option 1) Install Nostore app from the App Store. This app acts as a signing device for Safari, allowing you to do NIP-07 login.

Option 2) Install the Orion Browser from the App Store. This is a new web browser that lets you install extensions like Alby or Nos2x! You can then use one of those extensions to do a NIP-07 login.

Once you have an above option that you're comfortable with, you just need to choose a web client such as snort.social, primal.net, coracle.social, or iris.to.

You can still use Damus. You'll just have a separate client for Zapping.

i.e. While using Damus, you see a great note that needs Zapping. You just long press on the Note in Damus to copy the NoteID. Then, you visit one of the clients I mentioned above and either search or paste in the NoteID to be taken directly to the note. You know what comes next. Sweet, sweet Zaps from your iPhone's new web client.

Enjoy!
