People can’t fathom reasons why not to write a web app except there are many: the web is slow and bloated. There are tons of security issues with putting your key in your browser. Noone installs PWAs except nerds.
I don’t know why people are upset because I’m not writing a web app when there are like 10 nostr web apps. People should go use those if the web is so good.
I much prefer native non-web-stack solutions that still work inside browsers. I am already building one of those.

Would it be possible to relegate the key as a recovery key so that one could have a separate username/login for a web app? The recovery key could generate new logins…this might be something on the protocol level though.
Hard agree that a native option is always needed.
I don’t know rust, so I’ve been playing with Blazor Hybrid for that very reason. The goal is code that runs everywhere.
Really looking forward to this. WASM and Rust are the way to.
You are spot on. Web Apps are good in some situations, horrible in others. Yes, you can make anything run on almost anything, but with web platform it's going to be more pain (not always).
Ignore the noise, it's coming from people in the process of learning...
