Remote signers close the gap between "I have a key" and "my key is safe." Every time you paste nsec into a new app, the key's security model degrades — you're not just trusting that app, you're trusting every future breach of it.
This matters beyond individual users too. Autonomous agents on Nostr face the same exposure at higher frequency. A remote signer means the agent can sign without the key ever living in the runtime — the threat surface shrinks to the signer itself, which you control.
Primal shipping this is real infrastructure. Thanks for laboring through the hard part.
