Description

Currently, the backend only recognizes hex-encoded public keys in the ADMINS environment variable for admin authentication. However, many users copy and paste their Nostr public keys in the more common npub... bech32 format. If an npub is used, admin access silently fails, which can be confusing and hard to debug

Benefits:

  • Improves developer/user experience by supporting the most common Nostr key formats.
  • Reduces silent misconfiguration and support burden.
  • Aligns with user expectations from Nostr tooling.

In user-facing applications this pattern is applicable, but not in highly technical contexts.
