Made this gif a few years back and uploaded it to Tenor. Just got this email. Too bad Tenor doesn’t have zaps 😂 @lemon any plans for gifbuddy creator pages in the future?

Soon! We’ll have stats for gifs. @lemon will need to sort out the GIF ownership though, since now it’s owned by a single key
One challenge I’ve found is integrating persistent mobile login on a web-app for iOS that doesn’t have terrible UX
I don’t want to handle keys and there isn’t an Amber equivalent on iOS yet
So my workaround has been to not require login at all and just give people links generated by my own key
I could add some logic like:
“IF logged in, then user uploads must be signed by user; ELSE, sign event on user’s behalf with gifbuddy key”
Then make a new page for logged-in users to see their own uploaded content
Is that what you had in mind?
Or are you guys thinking about it differently?
Yeah, probably have an optimistic execution of sign event using extension and fallback to your keys. I have started collecting stats for all images around a month ago so I can have an api to fetch them and you can use that to determine popularity
I just use the nostore signing extension in Safari on iOS. Works well, but it’s not newb-friendly at all. lol. What about using nostr DMs to sign in? Doesn’t nostr.build use that as an option? I think it at least used to.
This method still exists but never really took off:
If your website requires login, consider adding login with nostr.
Demo: 
NIP-97: Login with Nostr: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/login/97.md

Holy fucking shit you mean this has been an option all this time? Why doesn’t anyone use it? My mind is blown and I’m genuinely dumbfounded. This is perfectly elegant.
I love this note
🤣 I really don’t get it, how every dev makes it sound like it’s so hard to solve for user friendly sign-in to web apps on mobile and yet this exists. What am I missing? 😅
Seriously. Nostr client or notstr client, this does seem like the obvious/best option. Maybe a marketing problem 😂🤷♂️
The best things in nostr dont always get used
In my defense, I’m retarded
That’s great! Thanks for sharing! Is this currently active on Nostur or just a demo currently?
😭🤣🫂
🥲
its active, but I think I may have broken it in some update without noticing, I will check later today
Wait, after reading through the nip more, this method doesn’t seem to operate as an event signer (unless I’m missing something)
If that’s true then how is that better than simply logging in with an npub?
If @corndalorian's goal is to have a page where he can see how many views his media has gotten, I think that requires publishing an event to @The Fishcake (nostr.build) ‘s NIP98 API (to get a nostr.build url) or just uploading to nostr.build directly
Let me know if I’m missing something though
I would zap you yet I guess there is a daily limit on how many sats I can purchase so I better go back to 42 onward 🫡. 😃😎
I don’t know, at some point it looked like Damus and nostr.build were going to add it, not sure what happened after
Says it’s a draft nip? I don’t see it in the official nip list
One tricky part there is iOS doesn't do disambiguation like Android does.
Dude holy shit seriously? I don’t do this on mobile because there’s no good solution and this is so fucking simple. I think @nostr.build is the only one who has the login with DM that is easy enough to do real fast on mobile
💯 Even if it’s not perfect, it’s better than nothing, and it’s much easier to understand than setting up a signing extension.
I don’t think it signs events though if I’m reading the spec correctly
I think it’s just a substitute for Google Login/Apple Login etc
Still useful, but not the same thing as a signing extension
Could this be extended to turn nostur into a full blown signer?
Asking the right questions 👍
full blown signer is more difficult on iOS, @Terry Yiu was working on something for that:
GM! Verified that this approach works. This is where the fun begins.

I'm implementing this on my site whenever I get some free time this week. 🤙
