[Feature Request] Support for Nostr Signer Apps & Extensions #565

Description

@mktahmasbi99

To increase user confidence, especially when managing higher-value balances, Shockwallet should support integration with external Nostr signer applications and browser extensions.
Delegating key storage and signing to dedicated signer tools ensures that private key management is handled by software specifically designed and battle-tested for that purpose, rather than being embedded within the wallet itself. This reduces the security burden on Shockwallet maintainers while aligning with best practices around key isolation and minimal trust.
Examples of widely used Nostr signer solutions include:

  • Amber
  • Aegis
  • nos2x

Supporting these signers would significantly improve Shockwallet’s security model, encourage adoption by more security-conscious users and make the wallet more suitable for managing larger amounts.
