nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe we updated a blog post from earlier due to an incorrect date, and now the post shows twice in Nostur. The older version has warning at the top this when you open it, which is helpful, but is it possible to have the previous versions not even show at all? It’s confusing. Or is there a reason for it?

Well if you had made a more significant change say to the content wouldn’t you want the record of both versions and each to be labeled accordingly?

Showing version history could be a good idea, but having the same article listed twice in the feed is confusing. It would be better to have it displayed once, and then when you open it to give an option to view earlier versions.

I experienced something similar recently while testing YakiHonne and spoke with someone from their team. As with most things #Nostr I think it’s going to come down to how clients handle the events.

I think the best thing to do now is quadruple check everything because it’s also unclear what happens to interactions linked to the past events. 😄

Yes this needs to be improved, the reason is a technical one but not something that can’t be fixed. Right now it works a bit like when someone sends you an email, and then another corrected email, you still have the old original email.

Thanks for the explanation! Seeing the previous versions could be helpful at times. Maybe having a drop-down menu that lists all previous versions of a note, but only display the most recent in the user’s feed. Just an idea.

The way it is right now, if a blog post has been edited/replaced multiple times, will that button in Nostur always take you to the most recent version? We are trying out using a long form note with the Nostr Report account to keep a running list of Nostr conferences and events, so we will be updating it frequently. It’s not necessarily a problem if users see old versions, but it would be helpful if they can easily get to the newest version so they have the most up to date info.
