I think it's time for me to write a longform post on nsec bunkers...I requested bunker support for a nostr client and was told it was too hard for users lol. Hold my beer.

If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry.
Jumble is fantastic, but a bit noisy with the bunker requests...switching to X21 for a while, very similar UI.
Truer words have never been spoken.

Lots of bug fixes to Signet this morning

Spun up a new npub for @Signet to track development and post some educational content on Nostr, nsecbunkers, security, etc. The account is completed operated by a bot I whipped up but happy to personally interact there as well.

My wife asked me what I'd been working on. She is not at all technical and her eyes glazed over immediately, so I asked an LLM to ELI5 it and tailor it to her profession. Here we go:
Nostr: You know how if the company switches banks, you have to set everything up from scratch with new signature cards, new logins, new everything? Nostr is like having one signature that works at every bank. You're not locked into any single institution—your identity belongs to you, not them.
Your key: It's basically your signature authority. Whoever has it can sign off as you. So you really don't want to hand it out.
Bunkers: Think of it like keeping your signature stamp locked in a safe that only you can open. When an app needs something signed, it sends you a request—like an invoice hitting your approval queue. You review it, approve or reject, and the safe applies the signature. The app never gets direct access to your stamp.
Signet now pushes events in real-time to any client on any device. Video showcasing this via both the web UI and Android app. Self-host your remote signer. Let's make bunkers great in 2026!
In the immortal words of Eminem...
"Now you see why I don't sleep, not even a wink, I don't blink
I don't doze off, I don't even nod to the beats
I don't even close my fuckin' eyes when I sneeze"
Happy 2026! May it be as wonderful and beautiful as you let it be.
And so it begins...

You've probably tried vibe coding, BUT have you tried drunk coding...working on Signet for Android until I run out of soju lol


And so we dive into the Kotlin rabbit hole...why do I do this to myself lol
I have no 2026 resolutions...I'll just continue building my own stack exactly how I want it. Definitely plan on Android native Signet UI and Hyper though.
Is Coracle really the only Android client that supports bunker login? That just seems silly. I appreciate the Amber login in Amethyst and Primal but paste nsec only otherwise? Not good.
Not sure who runs Nostr Compass but they are doing the Lord's work.
