I haven't used SeedSigner yet. I'm waiting for it to manage Nostr keys as well. There is someone working on it, but still looks very early. https://gist.github.com/kdmukai/ae9911ed6fb92f8e7d2c553555b0cb86
Absolutely! Keith Mukai has done an amazing job. I love how he even got it to sign nostr keys. The thing is, it's not going to find its way into the SeedSigner OS. The team is 100% against adding features which will bloat the project and take away from its one simple task - sign bitcoin transactions. Adding (admittedly cool) features like this adds potential bugs and security issues.
They want a minimal, bitcoin-only device. Every time you plug it in you have to enter your private key. So if you want to use it as a signer you have to keep it turned on with private keys loaded, otherwise you'll have to turn it on, scan your nsec QR, then sign a nostr event each time you want to post. That's not a good UX. There is an ESP32 nostr signer which stores your nsec and would be less of a pain.
Although, I'm ALL FOR people forking the seedsigner project and adding cool features just like this! I did it and added games hoping to make a plausible deniability feature so that it looks like a gaming device, not a "fuck you, government" device, like if you're going through customs, etc. Then I saw a legit port of RetroPie for seedsigner and tipped my hat to those fucking studs!!!
just pull the trigger now. I'd love it to have couple more features too but no regrets
