i've had a few other complexities happen that makes me wan to stop using it and go for something similar like Nostr Connect.

Yeah when someone explained that Nostr uses browser extensions to save keys, it made total sense. But as an end user I feel like I had no prior expectation that that would happen Installing a browser extension to log into an app isn't very intuitve

You can log in with your private key directly if you want. That's not too secure... Or you can use amber signer or a bunker (remote signers) "logging in" to nostr isn't really "login" in a traditional sense. It's "let me tell the client what my public key is and how I would like to sign events with my private key for this session" Logging in has to be the biggest hurdle because it's fundamentallly different than the way you are used to signing into apps. You control the keys instead of just making a personal password that some central authority ties to some account in a central database. Your password on nostr is derived and never changes. There's no way to fix it. The only way to make it easier is better UI and education.

i dont see nostr-connect anymore tho 😭 it was a nice skin..
