Hello TBD Nostr Signer

Hello! we don't have a name, an image, or working build for our project yet but here we are, #buildinginpublic.

There's a big problem right now with nostr on mobile devices - you need to enter your nsec into every app. And PWAs are even worse, because the nsec cannot be safely stored.

So we've set out to build a solution using remote signing. Use a single app that stores your nsec, and all your other apps communicate it using NIP-46 to securely request signing functionality.

We've setup a server that listens to a relay for NIP-46 requests to sign notes, and it will forward these events as push notifications that get sent to an React Native signer app (using expo).

The notification can then be accepted or ignored. If it's accepted, the signer will reply to the original event, finishing the transaction the user started on one of their nostr apps.

Right now we are just testing the server and making sure we can send events correctly to the signer using hardcoded keys. If this all works, we can start building an app UI to scan NIP-46 codes.

Where should we test our app? which nostr clients support NIP-46? let us know!
