does something like this exist already on nostr? : Uncle Jim-enabled nsecs + private community "beginner's island"
explaining:
- Uncle Jim (UJ) sets up a relay intended to serve a private set of users
- there is some special client app these people will use
- the users, when they are invited and create npubs, choose a username and passsword (rather than record an nsec or see the word "key").
- the username becomes their NIP05, the password decrypts their nsec in the client for signing. Ideally, UJ never stores their nsec plaintext, though he is running some server that holds the encrypted versions.
- everyone uses this relay and client happily, seeing it as some community-focused discussion app, without realizing they're using nostr (yet)
- UJ (and perhaps others) can interact with people in the private community, but can also access the rest of nostr, of course
- as appropriate, UJ's little nostr fledglings can learn about the rest of nostr, take control of their keys and go off into the rest of ecosystem, too (while keeping access to the private group)
nostr:nprofile1qqs8sxs4yuz47axp7uprpugrs3sfkdz5379tdg9xe2n5qfvz070a4egprdmhxue69uhkwmr9v9ek7mnpw3hhytnyv4mz7un9d3shjqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgzaq60d seems close, but does hit you with the "keys!" thing right at signup, at least on the ditto.pub version.
I have a specific use case for this for hundreds of users and would be using it right away if it already exists. otherwise I might have to build it...?
