My goal here was to create a way to onboard new users without requiring them to: * install a browser extension * copy/paste a secret * explain npub/nsec stuff * without losing interoperability with other nostr applications
This flow resembles a lot an OAuth style (e.g. "Login with twitter") flow: * You create an account in one site (e.g. Twitter) * You can "login" to another site with that account * You can revoke access from using your account
Behind the scenes this is using NIP-89 to find nsecBunkers that allow people to register an account in their domain.
This means that any nostr application can offer a signup/login flow on any nsecBunker domain. The application itself doesn't take custody nor ever see the generated key.
And what's cool is that any nsecBunker provider can create their own flow; they can use passwords, or not, they can require a payment or proof-of-work to create an account. They can brand their "signup/login" popup page in whatever way they want.
Here is a demo video of this new building block that is now available to nostr applications.

I've always been fascinated by writing tools for social media platforms—a place where you can go to create content without getting sidetracked by the latest meme warfare.
Shipyard will be a tool I will be building on with a LOT of interesting features.
It will always be free to use, and, because of my mantra of "Fund the change you want to see in the world," I'm opening up a few tiers for Supporters ($10/mo) and Patrons ($16/mo) who choose to support developers and development in Nostr.
You broke up with your ex; it wasn’t treating you well, maybe it was shadow banning you or your friends; it was manipulating you into becoming your worst possible self.
But over the years you accrued a bunch of quality shitposts, and perhaps some nuggets of wisdom.
The last bridge you’ll need to port over your data into the new world of decentralized freedom-tech.
1. Download your twitter archive 2. If Elon agrees, you’ll get a zip file; uncompress it and just use exit.pub to import your data into nostr
✅ original dates are used; whatever you posted in 2009 will show up as posted in nostr in 2009 ✅ granular control of which tweets to import (threads, non-replies, replies) ✅ V4V, you choose how much your shitposts are worth ✅ it *should* preserve embedded images ✅ granular control of which relays you want to publish to
