Anyone volunteered yet? I can take a stab at it. Publish a long form note via habla.news or something similar?

What would y’all like in the weekly update? Stuff like new NIPs adopted and new projects sounds cool to me.

Or do y’all mean like trending posts from across all Nostr?

Awesome, Greg! Personally I have trouble keeping up with: newly merged or hot topic NIPs, major features or apps being released (not every release of everything, but big things like the recent curated community spec). Maybe if there’s not much going on in a week spotlighting an existing tool that people love might be nice. Sometimes things get released and then I never hear about them again, it’s hard to know what people are finding useful over longer periods of time.

(Additionally I would love to see an adjacent non-technical non-bitcoin weekly summary of some of the most interesting posts. It’s great for people who don’t open Nostr every day or every week. I used to keep up with happenings on Secure Scuttlebutt through an account like this, called The Weekly)

It's still very early stages and there's lots of geeky stuff in the post for those who are curious.

And help us make it sustainable for you through zaps, submitting content, etc! I’ve seen a lot of people burn out of this sort of unpaid journalistsic endeavor.
