I built a basic markdown blog-script that works a GitHub template repo a while back, I was considering adopting it to Nostr and have it retrieve the posts from Nostr, but when I think about it, the GitHub Actions workflow that generates HTML from markdown, should also just download the events and embed into the HTML that is pushed to the server. Users are accessing my (or anyones) posts through a specific domain name anyway.

For a more generic blogging platform for multiple users, this won't work and you need more dynamic loading. Nice blog post!

Does it make sense to allow users to use the "d" identifiers as friendly URLs to articles? So you could have "a/pubkey/my-favorite-food".

Then if I host my own article/blog site, I could configure the pubkey as some default value and posts could be available at /my-favorite-food.

I'll do that, derive the identifier from title and allow user to edit it.
