 Awesome work.  I'd highly recommend NIP-98, if you at all get a chance to look at it.   It's just an auth header to a server, and it scales really well.  The extensions can already sign events, so it's easy.  NIP07 is used in a bunch of places, and I use it in nosdav for personal storage too.  I see this pattern scaling to billions of users.

This little shim contains all the code

 There is also a proposal for NIP-97 by @semisol which uses NIP-98 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1042 

I added support for this in Nostur but there are no websites or services that support his yet.

 Not sure I understood this.  It looks less secure than NIP-98.  If it relies on NIP-98, why not just log in with NIP-98?   NIPs generally are against 2 ways of doing the same thing.

 It is logging in with NIP-98. NIP-97 just defines the flow between the website or service and another app that has your key.
