Is it possible to integrate a WYSIWYG into a Nostr client or would that be overkill to begin with?

Or a PREVIEW button would be fine

I'm no dev.

I imagine you can stuff WYSIWYG into a special purpose client for "Other Stuff", but most clients focused on social media would still just render as plain text.

Curious idea. Wonder how folks with a higher technical acumen respond.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. You’d need a client to read as well as write, unless they all agreed a standard

Might make a lot of sense for encrypted events that nobody else can read anyway.

And/or a file system where you share access.

My brain keeps thinking on this. Maybe a separate set of relays enable WYSIWYG by default?

My brain also wants to link it to Gnome for Linux, or Gnu.

Maybe it's a fork of sorts called Gnostr.

Silent G's can be powerful. 🤣

So many possibilities ⚡️

Overkill

It might be possible for a layer two client on nostr, specially for that purpose.

I think it’d be easy as long as the library translated to markdown and you used the long-form kind (which takes markdown).

Interesting. I think it would be cool to have the ability for long-form content with formatting for anyone that wants it

Do you mean having long form content in damus? Eg in kind 1 notes?

Not necessarily in Damus. I just think having the option of publishing formatted articles (with images, links, bullet points etc) as well as notes on Nostr within a client might be useful.

E.g. People generally have to use Substack + Twitter to write both short form and long form content. Might be iseful if Nostr rolled it all into one.

Haven’t thought it all through but I’m sure it would be appealing to writers to have their articles and notes together in some organized form. Or maybe not! :)

Helpful context.

Thanks for the generous zap!
