I am guessing two possibilities:
1. The friction to onboard new users would be pretty high as it currently stands, if they have to go and figure out using a key extension.
2. The developer, in this case @hodlbod, would need to trust that the signing extension options are excellent, and have been audited rigorously.
I can imagine that as a developer, if one knows one is acting in good faith, it might be easier to trust oneself and one’s intentions, than those of others?
Curious to hear thoughts, esp from developers @hodlbod @jb55 @Vitor Pamplona @miljan @Martti Malmi @Kieran @brugeman
Nsec login definitely doesn't make much sense, aside from "bunkers are high friction for now so Damus users should just paste nsec". This will improve as bunkers improve, I will share a significant step forward in this area next week.
Local nsec signup makes total sense - let users start asap but then let them export nsec to a bunker. Nostr-login widget has this option built-in, only works with nsec.app for now but will be proposed as NIP upgrade when we are confident it's good enough.
I agree, nsec.app is the smoothest experience I've seen so far. Thinking about seeing if I can integrate it into the onboarding experience in Coracle, friction notwithstanding.
Awesome! I'm sure there's a lot to improve there, please let me know if you have ideas or issues.
