🛡️🔐 GM, Nostr! Nostrich will soon support Google login, making it easier for people who have never used Nostr to get started with a single tap.
We're building it on Pomegranate, an open standard for Google login on Nostr. Your private key is managed using FROST threshold signatures, with key shares distributed across independent operators. Google never sees your private key, and Nostrich never stores it.
Under the hood, Google login uses a standard NIP-46 remote signer. This means if you sign in with Google on another Nostr app that supports Pomegranate, you can use the same Nostr identity on Nostrich, and vice versa.
The goal is simple: lower the barrier to entry without compromising decentralization. With this implementation, we're targeting people who have never used Nostr before.
All existing sign-in options will remain unchanged, and users signing in with Google will receive reminders about the importance of owning and backing up their private keys.
