how many people would like to use damus iOS as an nsecbunker signer for web apps? signing requests sent over push.

I'm not sure where the zeitgeist is on signers these days. do people use extensions or nsecbunker more ? @fiatjaf

I use Damus iOS. If you improve it, I will always be grateful, but it’s already very good
I have no idea, I'm betting on bunkers as the future and having Damus provide one would be great. Although it would also be great to have Damus be a bunker client.
This would be very cool but how do notes in the wild discover the APN endpoint for Damus users? Field in your profile?
Ok so it doesn’t follow me… if I am using 3 different web apps i would need to provide it to them?
Be very nice. I wonder though, is there some reason nsec.app doesn't exist as a native app for iOS? @brugeman seems to have the energy to cover anything that can be covered.
Would piggybacking off an existing client app like Damus as Will is suggesting here help with that snag? It's one I'd love to see un-snagged. nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqvhpsfmr23gwhv795lgjc8uw0v44z3pe4sg2vlh08k0an3wx3cj9qqszyhgpt5vr23a2mvjh7pxspt04vlycj5gz8z2wj67fgfukncn3akswdkj4s
We actually made a build of nsec.app for iOS. The app is written on JS for the web, so we had to use native wrapper (capacitor) to avoid rewriting it all. Unfortunately, iOS push notifications don't really launch the app - they just show the info from the push payload (unlike web push which launches the app service worker). To make the app code launch you have to add "notification services extension" code or something like that, which could in theory run the signer, but that would mean we have to somehow put the whole capacitor process inside that extension... Seems very complex, and we don't have an iOS specialist on the team, so leaving the iOS build for later.
is this even doable with the app closed? Honestly.... I would use it that way even if it needs the app open. I remember in the past, apps use to "play music" to remain in the backgruond. not sure which phone OS was that though. maybe Windows Phone.
