I was wondering about trying something like that over the past few days. A Version III of The Spain Report. Still not convinced it's a place to do a whole site thing, vs. another place to publish some stuff thing. What is the key reason for doing it all on Nostr vs. just pushing some stuff you're already doing to the relays?
Discussion
For me, it's about having all the content I want on my site.
After years of scattering my writing on places, I end up abandoning and have no easy way of taking the content back, I've recently decided to stop feeding other platforms.
Publishing to and serving from Nostr seems like a great way of making my writing interoperable with the broader ecosystem.
As in, if you want to comment/zap, you are creating a native nostr event that other people, in other clients, can interact with.
Right, that is a noble and practical and innovative aim, especially as you say after the last few years of platform nonsense and abuse. Also good for journalists and the public record, for example, anti-delition things. And that is kind of my point. If the innovation is creator-reader direct via Nostr at the protocol level, that would be wonderful because then people can do different sites that organise it all in different ways but whicheve one your note is found on, you as the creator can see the likes or zaps or comments from all of them. The other sites are just displaying them in different ways. But if we start building things in the middle of that, instead of incorporating them at the protocol level (zaps, paywalls, media files, whatever), then the middle bits become necessary to its functioning, not direct creator-reader-protocol for the whole network wherever the notes are found.
Right, no, everything goes down to the protocol level; clients should always be largely stateless (besides keeping a cache for performance optimization)
