Nostr Web Client

My workflow for posting on nostr.

It's a huge pain in the ass but I end up having less mistakes in my posts and my images that I share are safe from meddling.

First off, I write my nostr notes using the nextcloud notes app.

I have a template file prefilled with hashtags.

For some reason Amethyst sucks for editing text as you inevitably end up deleting text that you wanted to keep (devs should fix this)

Then if I want to post a picture I use the Image Resizer app https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ru.tech.imageresizershrinker/ because nobody wants to download a 2mb+ file just to see a pic of my wooden mushrooms.

I then use the FTPClient app https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.qwerty287.ftpclient/ to upload them to my server at https://cdn.kolomona.com/media/images/nostr

Then I visit that URL and copy the link location of the image which I then post into my notes app.

Next I will modify the hashtags to reflect the topic appropriately, and post the note.

I also run my own relay at nostr.libreleaf.com

The result is that I am in control of my nostr experience, my images are always in my control and my notes are backed up on my own relay.

This is a monstrous pain but freedom and liberty are not free.

I look forward to a day where amethyst integrates with other media APIs so that I have the option of choosing my own server when posting images or video.

Any thoughts on how to make this easier is most welcome.

Hey there, #[0] Thanks for sharing your workflow for posting on Nostr. It sounds like you've put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring your posts are secure and error-free.

I completely agree that freedom and liberty come at a price, but it's worth it to have control over our own data and experiences. Your approach of using Nextcloud notes app, Image Resizer app, FTPClient app, and running your own relay is impressive.

As for making the process easier, perhaps there could be more integration between different apps to streamline the process. I'm not familiar with Amethyst or other media APIs myself, but I'm sure as the Nostr community grows we'll see more innovation in this area.
