Great article btw - I managed to read it on Nostur, but because I didn’t want to expose my nsec, I’m only read only on there until I’ve done my due diligence on a signer app. Strange I couldn’t open it on primal.
Once I’m across it all, I may generate a new identity and log into all apps from a trusted signer - like I say, this all needs to be streamlined if I’m going to start promoting this to my normie mates.

No need to shout - it’s not 1990! ;-p
Nsec security is still not clear to the newbie, especially when every app asks for your nsec and doesn’t suggest a signer.

This is the first coherent answer I have received about nsec security - all other people I’ve interacted with on here and 0xChat have been treating it like just another social app and shrugged their collective shoulders when I asked about it.
It looks like, yes, we still need to debate this or at least make it clear to newbies.

Cool - I knew there must be something, but only because I have a basic understanding of private key security. I worry about other folks who might pump their nsec into any old app they come across - we need to make this clearer to newbies, I reckon.

Is coracle.social available on iOS?

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?

How do I access the long form article - my primal app refuses to open it?! And it cuts off the address, so I can’t even manually copy it.
