How many Poll apps have you tried? 😜🙊
Pollerama is lightweight and easy to use, which is great.
Getting a few more bigger apps will be useful to get more eyes on these new kinds.
If it becomes more popular, the spam will come, and WOT response filtering might be the next step.
Freerse and highlighter Damus safari extension (not sure this one counts). I didn’t see freerse in the list
Yakihonne too
Habla.news
Yakihonne
Damus
Primal
Highlighter

I just feel like i do not really have anything interesting to say that requires more than a couple of words, or that has not already been long-formed by other people.
In due course, it will come
For writing, 6. For reading, god knows. Probably more than twice that.
Ooh. Tell me more. About writing, and reading.
Oh boy... just a list?
I am curious - what have you learned in your experimentation with writing and reading apps?
Best experience? Worst?
General writing:
- Habla .news is deteriorating but used to work great, attaches repetitive zap splits on editing though.
- Yakihonne .com work great sometimes, but hangs on publishing a lot. Can't save drafts because it also hangs there.
- Cypher .space works & even respects format on copy/paste but publishes with invalid eventIDs.
- Untype .app is half built but always works to publish. If you've published once, the blank page upon returning to the app is actually an empty edit of the last publication so it's easy to overwrite your own work by accident. Always click 'new'.
- Highlighter .com looks pretty, but has never successfully published for me. It's very nice for reading though. I don't end up there for that very often, as I do more reading from spontaneous discovery.
- Obsidian extensions work great. I'm just not organized enough to use Obsidian regularly.
More specialized writing:
- Wikifreedia .xyz was flawless but I've only written there once. Nice reading experience.
- Alexandria .gitcitadel .eu appears to work until I go looking for my publications, then I can't find them anywhere.
- Zap .cooking might be very specific long-form but it works great. I really wish more reading places supported its output. Spoiled me wishes they'd continue developing it.
As far as reading goes, I end up reading most in Amethyst because I'm being lazy when I'm reading & it formats damn well for a social app. Reading on npub .pro sites & oracolo .me sites is generally nicer if looking for a specific author's words, though. Reading on Alexandria is nice, but the colors are a little too similar for my eye comfort. Opposite of Primal, which is too high contrast for my eyes. I'm pretty neutral on other places that I've read. No news is good news, in that sense.
Sorry about that huge gap on that reply. That's me catching my breath 😂
Hey from YakiHonne, may we know the exact problem you are facing ? do you have a screen record or something like that we can rely on ? It would be great thanks.
Hey, thanks! I'll try to record something the next time I write, and send it to you. What happens is, when I click to publish or save as draft, I am met with infinite loading. My. extension is awakened and I'm prompted to sign, then it just won't go any further.
we faced an issue like this before, however we did fix it. If you encounter this again please send us a record for it it would be great for us to check it out 🙏
Yakihonne worked incredibly well for my long-form publishing today. Apologies for referencing an old issue! 🫂
No worries haha, feel free to tag anytime 🙏
I think I figured out that the hanging issue I encounter when publishing with Yakihonne, is related to using the Flamingo signing extension. Maybe that, is too out of date.
I prefer to manage my 2 profiles on separate extensions. Nos2x won't accept my other key & I use Alby for this profile. I don't know of any others. Do you know of any I can test against? I'm one of those dimwitted windows people, if that helps narrow things down 😅
you can use the nsecbunker with amber or nsec.app or other providers, this is one of the choices or alby.
Four, five
