Nostr Web Client

Will clients ever markdown? #asknostr

We had markdown in the early days and it was removed from most clients because it was a mess.

I can see that..... maybe a toggle button? I guess at least we have some long-form alternatives...

Not for kind 1 events. It’s not widely implemented (and won’t be) because most users don’t understand how to use it.

And full markdown included support for embedding malicious links.

yea, the links is def a problem.

I write Asciidoc into Kind 01 manually, like I say this is *bold* and this is _italic_.

Has an effect on how the reader digests it, even without the interpreter.

And then there were the great battles of asciidoc vs markdown for nostr wikis. nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 threw his weight around and declared asciidoc the standard

Oh, right. Don't let the rest of the devs see this or they'll think they can decide things on here too!
