Thank you for a great informative reply! Unfortunately, apparently Olas doesn't have the feature I'm looking for.
I agree with many of your points, it is a beautiful thing how NOSTR allows users to interact seamlessly with apps from different origins but that requires people to have a deep understanding of the protocol and access multiple apps to interact with the different facets of NOSTR. Many of us are like so, we enjoy the tinkering and exploration, but I can tell you from experience that most people I know on NOSTR (many of them developers in a bitcoin related field) only have one client on their phone (normally Primal) and, at best, Alby on their desktop, not to mention all the people that refuse to even get in on NOSTR.
This makes it difficult to onboard users to different NOSTR experiences than the usual Twitter clone. In my work developing and marketing the Chain Duel NOSTR mode and Pubpay.me I had great difficulties having people try the APP, or even understand the concept that NOSTR is multi-platform by nature and that it's not only for twitter like experiences. People are reluctant to download additional NOSTR related software, be it Amber, Spring or Zap.Store.
So I thought It could be useful if mainstream NOSTR apps like Primal would implement external signer capabilities, that would immediately allow their users to access an entire NOSTR ecosystem. It would be very helpful for us at PubPay since the external signer functionality is already implemented, even if most users are not on Amber or similar. Does it make sense to you?
