This was my attempt at addressing the issue of vanishing low-value content for people who want to publish and read valuable content at a slower, predictable pace in something like an email inbox where they get newsletters:

But now I realize it was a dumb idea. The solution to this already exists in our hands and is called RSS: not actual RSS, but Nostr-powered RSS clients based on NIP-23 such as in

The only reason people started using their mailboxes as their RSS readers was because -- actually I don't know why, but I assume it was a stupid reason and we have to build for the future in which "Nostr readers" are the norm and everything is integrated into the web of Nostr, so people will not need email anymore and all their online communication needs will be fulfilled by a different Nostr subprotocol.

RSS rules!

We should convince Dave Winer to join Nostr and supervise all Nostr-RSS projects. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m could you reach out to him? 🙏

He did join over an year ago and made some posts.

I am not sure but I think he might be this guy: nostr:npub10c5w29hhtnlggl5cfkuq4apcj5jx62zxyecxx5xvwk28s0mfqm9q06w0tu

It's definitely him. Too bad he disappeared.
