Thanks - I’ll give it a spin.
The reason I was interested in your post was because I’m concerned about pumping my nostr priv key into every new app I try - I wonder whether this could become a security hole if someone produces a dodgy nostr app. Do you know if you can use your private key to sign something offline that then proves you own the public key and allows you to access your posts on another app without potential priv key exposure?
