Nostr Web Client

After having not published a longform note on el Nostr in a while, and I gotta say, it’s still confusing as hell how to do it correctly.

Clients don’t display them the same way, but the bigger problems I’ve noticed are how to add images and links, and edit posts after publishing.

I started a post on nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q, and thought I had the image loaded correctly according to the markdown syntax. It looked fine in the preview, but after posting the article, I saw that the image tag had broken.

So I tried to edit it with the same client, but the content never loaded – I was just stuck waiting for it to appear. Then I remembered I could use nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf, so I was able to fix the image tag manually using that client and republish. Of course, when I went back to check the article on nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955, I saw both the old and new version, because that client doesn’t treat replaceable kinds the same way as other clients.

Is this the best we’ve got?

The opportunity here is huge, as a self-sovereign Substack. But the features are half-baked.

I don’t seem to get much activity on mine, maybe they don’t get displayed well or in the most commonly designed feeds or my content sucks bad

Curious. Was this YakiHonne web or mobile app?

The web app. I am unable to use the mobile app with my npub for reasons I don’t fully understand. The app crashes every time I open it. 😞

They’ve been looking into it. Somehow there is some random data in my profile that is causing a conflict, but it’s only a problem on their iOS app and I don’t have a clue how to fix it.

Yes, I agree, I've just dived into this and it's... Awkward at best.

Habla seems to be the best authoring platform that I've found so far, but it's still pretty bare-bones. And really, no dark theme??

I haven't even tried to mess around with images yet.
