 I don't get how https://nsec.app can be used by non-tech users:
When you have an account on there, you go to use.nsec.app and you'd like to add an app.
when you select one, you just go to the homepage of that project,... 
Then you install/visit that app. (let's say https://flycat.club/ )
 (any app has the same issue)
Then you log in, but you can't use the bunker-id of nsec.app anywhere in these apps.
I really don't get how this can be made this complicated and unusable.

 Hi! I agree that the flow you've described is super unfriendly. The 'Discover apps' link on nsec.app leads to a general nostr app catalog - those are all apps out there, not ones that support nip46 (the remote access protocol that nsec.app implements). Eventually we will have a much better supported-app-discovery flow, for now you can go to nsec.app homepage and check the list of supported apps at the bottom of it. And yes, you have to open the app and figure out how to login with nsec.app there - each app does it a little differently, again our homepage has short video guides for every supported app. Does that help?

 I didn't manage to add any apps so far. I'll check back in a few months and see how it goes. I cannot use it like this.

 Thank you for the critical feedback, you've given me some ideas I haven't considered before!

 If you need me as a real UX UI tester, that's what I did for a living for a few years. I'm up for hire if you like 😉
