How can we get more long form content on to Nostr? This seems like a great place for blog posts, substack style newsletters, medium like posts, etc… But it’s not so easy. The wordpress plugins for nostr do unformatted short posts with links.

We added long form markdown support to rsslay, https://github.com/planetary-social/rsslay , but rsslay has some pretty big design flaws which can’t be fixed. It doesn’t act like a normal relay, it doesn’t store anything, instead each time you request an npub it goes and redownloads the rss feed associated, creates NEW events, and provides them once to that client that requested them, and then deletes the events from memory. So if multiple people follow a feed, they’re all slowly getting different versions of the event.

I want it to be easy, nicely formatted markdown, ideally with support for the paid subscription content stuff nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft is working on.

Thoughts? Has somebody built something? RSS is probably the easiest way although lots of formatted content in rss is a mess. It needs to be something that can push to multiple relays the way mostr does. It needs to import once, and then scale with the nostr network. Users who comment on the post need to be commenting on the SAME event, not multiple versions of the event.

We’re SO SO SO close to this working, yet somehow it doesn’t.

Habla.news is where nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk does long form content. It works well! And some clients are able to sense the markdown format and display it well.

But monetization isn’t something I’ve seen much yet in this context (just zaps I think)

Had to fill in A LOT of missing gaps on the technical side for this one

The amount of byproduct from this is massive

Onlyfools disruptor? Now we're getting real!

Competition in this space will be great if we can market it accordingly.

The competition is fun to be apart of and support

👀

I hope so. There are so many things you can do with habla.news without writing any code.

It's my favorite blogging client. The human readable URL's are a game changer.

Wow, an “OnlyFans” for #Nostr.

So, that would be like T.A.P.s for #sats?

T.A.P.s = T*ts, A** and P**n. 😂
