the state of long-form publishing on nostr is so abysmal every time I want to publish something i want to claw my eyes out
Discussion
Ser, have you tried Longform.space? I hear itâs the place. đ¤

this was the winner of many recent clients I tried:
It's got some bugs, but it's definitely at the front of the pack now IMHO.
Seems a bit buggy. Login with extension didnât work the first time. For some reason âSelect Allâ => âDeleteâ doesnât work (CTRL+A, backspace). Not sure whatâs going on there.
I like that I can both upload an image and use an URL, thatâs good. I also like that I can paste markdown.
Thanks. Will look into it. đ¤
Ă, pode trazer muita sujeira e nĂŁo ideias
Hmmm⌠what part of the process?
What bothers you the most?
Asking, so I can make this better.
Needs a "preview"
Sure. Will do.
Kewl!
While we're at it, it's not exactly part of the core functionality of something like this, but it might be useful to have something like "generate a cover image" that sends the text of the essay as a prompt to an image AI...
Everyone wants an image for their essay!
The long-term vision is to give nostr-native media suggestions to pick from based on content, and to invite artists to contribute to a pool of high quality options.
I'm pleasantly surprised that it allows my to paste rich text.
Will give it a serious try. Thanks!
Doesn't allow me to set zap splits, which is something I need.
Yeah, tags are limited at the moment, but I have this planned. Iâll prioritize it.
No worries, please donât change your roadmap because of me. Iâm probably an outlier. Just wanted to mention it.
Got hit with a "Publishing failed: HTTP 403:â - not sure what's going on. Not even sure what relays itâs trying to hit.
Well, cringe. Form validation failed in a really stupid manner. Didnât get so far to publish to any relays.
Updated with a fix.
Iâm trying to treat user requests and suggestions as higher signal than my own guesses.
You don't really use stacker.news do you? Could be good
#yestr. Big opportunity currently blocked.
making a good editor is pretty hard ngl
Maybe I'm naive, but it shouldn't be this hard.
https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ This is why it's hard.
meh. markdown isnât moving that much
that's exactly the problem. The CommonMark spec is ridiculously detailed and includes a LOT of rules and exceptions to resolve pretty much every ambiguity. this makes it very hard to implement because you have to adhere to this behemoth of a ruleset. And it turns into the worst of both words, it's stuck in time, and it's heavy. And yet fragmentation still abounds, with all these dialects. Moxie Marlinspike is right in that article, the frozen-in-time effect of interop standardisation is often bad new for users who just want things to work.
Have you tried all of these?
