Bitwarden/Vaultwarden is the way to go, hands down. For SSH keys on iOS, I just use the built-in key manager on the SSH app I like best (Secure Shellfish, which is fantastic), and in the off chance that I have the need to use any of my PGP keys for anything while on iOS I'll just open up this basic PGPro app or use Keybase.
As far as self-hosting Bitwarden goes, the most absolutely dead simple method I know of, the one that I recommend to newbies and people who don't wanna be bothered with server maintenance BS, is to first install Cloudron (cloudron.io) on a VPS & then install Vaultwarden via Cloudron. For the particularly technically challenged, this can all be done entirely within the web browser if desired, as providers like Vultr and DigitalOcean among others allow for a one-click install/setup of Cloudron on a provisioned VPS instance, and then you can install Vaultwarden via the browser in Cloudron.

Still using an iPhone XS Max. It's chugging along just fine, haven't felt the need to replace it...yet. Probably will soon, though.

Definitely need to find some more cool apps and people to follow via nostr, asap

What's a good film you've seen lately, either for the first time or an old favorite? Recently enjoyed a viewing of a great movie featuring one of the most detestable characters in cinema history in "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" - https://youtu.be/0aabfMkeJTg

Something that might be viable (it'd take a lot of effort, though, and I'd have to look into what licenses the codebase was released under) would be forking/re-working some of the tech used on keybase.io; it has built-in git repos and could be modified to work with nostr IMO

finally got back around to messing with nostr & experimenting with various lightning network stuff recently. been enjoying getting back to my roots, i've noticed that i feel much more at home amongst the people who tend to inhabit these sorts of platforms, ideologically speaking anyway.
was able to get my NIP-05 verification done in no time at all. in fact, i think my next little project to work on in my spare time is going to be the creation of a one-click, easy to use service that'll let people instantaneously add their own custom domain names (or choose a subdomain name on one of my many URLs that I'll repurpose for this) for their NIP-05 verification.
it'll also serve a dual-use as a webpage (e.g. joeschmo.diesel.baby) that would have an integrated bitcoin lightning network wallet on it, capable of receiving/sending sats on LN with 1 click, and would display some of their recent activity tied to their nostr public key, fed off of a rotating group of relays.
still thinking up some other stuff for this but i think the biggest hurdle is the fact that:
a) we're still quite early and the actual potential of nostr lies in the ability for us to get people to actually USE it
and
b) unfortunately, it's still too much of a hurdle for most people. while you and I (if you're reading this, anyway) have long ago understood the importance of taking control of our privacy, we know what public/private key cryptography is (well, most of us here I would say have a basic understanding of it) and all that jazz -- we still represent the top 0.1% or so of people even using the web. likely a much smaller number, actually. i'm being conservative.
what i'm saying is, we need to make apps, tools, websites that are simple to use with an easy UI that doesn't feel like it's an arduous or complex process, it should be as simple as any other social media site people use -- while highlighting the difference.
onboard, then educate.
anyway i'm done rambling for now. it's likely no one is going to see this anyway as i'm not really connected with anyone on here...yet. feel free to say hello in the meantime if you do see this.
