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!!!
Thanks for the tip on the esp32 nostr signer. I didn't know it existed.
