What Nostr platform does the best long form content? I want to polish up some essays to present here, but a bit separate from my standard notes so that my notes are more short commentary like tweets, the long form essays are separate from my notes feed. Let me know what you think! Yakihonne? Habla? Flycat? Does it matter? I don't fully understand the pros and cons of using one vs the other

Habla news I think
Oh btw it doesn't matter because they are clients. Some clients are engineered to cater for blog post style or long form content but ultimately once you publish it as a long form, it'll appear across the protocol
Yes but I notice some folks I follow I like, click through to the long form content. Others post long form in notes and then I have to scroll like ten times to get past it and into my regular feed flower picture notes. I like long form but not when it interrupts me. So I'm thinking using a long form client would be better for people following me to choose if they want to see me being long winded 😅
I tried several of them, and so far I like Habla the best. They're all a bit "wonky" but Habla seems to provide the best set of features for markdown authoring, IMHO.
Encourage you to share your content! I think that long-form content in particular is one of the most promising ways that Nostr disrupts existing platforms, particularly Substack. I do find the latter to be a very valuable source of essays, but you can "smell the Xitter" starting to leak in with its new "social" features.
Excellent! Thank you for the encouragement!
I much prefer writing long form, but I'm also going to try and do executive summary blurbs for short notes and podcast style presentations for those who don't read. We'll see where the scope of my technical abilities ends 😅
Can try https://untype.app (I made it)
I generally use Habla.news for publishing my long form.
Your end result should be mostly the same regardless of which one you use.
Long-form notes use markdown for formatting, so you should brush up on proper markdown syntax for common elements like images, headings, bulleted lists, hyperlinks, etc.
The compoaition tools for each long-form client may have different elements available for you as shortcuts, but if you know how to write markdown without those helps, then it really makes no difference which one you use.
How your article will look to the reader will depend on where they are reading it from. Even if you wrote it on Habla, they might read it on YakiHonne, or even Amethyst, and things might render a bit differently. Since Nostr is an open protocol, writing the note on one client doesn't mean the note is locked to that client. It will be visible on any client that can display that kind of note.
I like that habla let people comment without logging in last I checked
