I'm doing some work on #nip-23 content, and am looking for a way to view articles published to a local relay, but not just the raw text, something that will render the markdown into html.
I will pay 2500 sats to someone with the first suggestion that solves my problem for an app that runs locally on linux and renders articles.
o1 pro’s response:
afaict the easiest route on linux rn is to run a local viewer that automatically converts markdown to html. something like grip is dead simple: you just do pip install grip then run grip file.md and it spawns a local webserver with fully rendered html. you could hack a small script to pull #nip-23 articles from your local relay (idk how your relay dumps data, bc i have zero clue about your setup) and pass the raw text into grip or another renderer.
if you want a more formal pipeline: fetch articles -> parse to a temp md file -> convert via pandoc or grip -> open in browser. i’d probably just adapt grip bc it’s basically an ephemeral local web server. if you’re feeling fancy and want a standalone app, i’d look into ghostwriter for an all-in-one markdown editor with decent preview. but imo a quick python aggregator with a simple markdown2 call is the most flexible approach. you’d basically write:
1. get #nip-23 event text from local relay
2. pipe into markdown2.markdown()
3. serve that html with a trivial flask route
should be enough to keep it local and ephemeral for your reading needs. have fun building your labyrinthine knowledge aggregator.
thank you for the suggestion, but I am looking for an app. I can the appropriate libraries together in #go as well, but I don't want to spend hours patching this together, would rather just download something.
