I'd go with NIP-46 these days over LNURL anyway.

There's just a lot better support for it.

Oh and don't forget that both of these specs are implemented in stacker news which is open source

There's just a lot better support for it.

Isn’t LNURL-auth supported by a lot more wallets and services than there is support for NIP-46 via signers or clients?

Afaik, Damus and Primal, the most popular nostr clients, do not support NIP-46 and Damus doesn’t even have plans to support it

I am in a bubble that does not take popularity into consideration lmao.

So what I was thinking when I wrote that, was more along the lines of, when you go to implement it into your website, you're going to find SDKs and you'll be able to read the code of a few clients that have implemented it into a few different languages.

Whereas LNURL is pretty exclusively NPM.

Thanks. There are a bunch of nostr methods, right? NIP-46 is now considered the best?

I mean, I think so, but yeah NIP-07 is also a thing

yes, I think is much better a nostr based login. Just think about this:

people often forgot which LN wallet they used, they are not organized
a nostr key is much better because is not linked to any LN wallet and also the user can have multiple ones

Anyways, like SN did, a dual login LN-auth / nostr is perfect. User can always fall back to any of it.
