Nostr Web Client

I’d love to see nostr with a setup like Wordpress. Anyone can do a WP install on their own hosting OR a lay person could pay, like WP dot org.

From there, you can choose from free themes or buy premium themes you can customize.

Plug-in marketplace for various add ons, custom features, expansions.

Devs could make money this way as well by selling themes and plug-ins.

Is this concept possible?

At this point, I have played with several different clients. They each have something different to offer that I particularly like. What sucks is having to jump onto a different client in order to use this one particular feature, when I have a homebase client that I used by default, because I generally like at the most.

I keep wanting to pull features from various clients into my homebase client, so that I don’t have to go through the cumbersome steps.

Just thinking out loud.

A WordPress type of situation would also allow for people who are not developers to create their own custom experiences. For example, I can’t really code much at all but the websites I’m able to create with WP are dope af.

Thoughts?

Have you seen https://blogstack.io/ ?

No and this is all I’m able to load ⬇️ Can you describe it for me please?

Page (when it loads)

Example blog

Thank you! I’m still not sure what this is or how to connect it to my original post… If you’ve used the platform, could you tell me about it?

Steven Day 2y ago

No idea. I just went to this guys link and tapped around for 15 seconds.

I don’t think it fits what you’re looking for. It looks like it’s trying to be an index of blogs (like the apps we use are an index of shorter notes)

I think based on the word play it’s trying to be a nostr substack. Like I wrote a blog entry on how to do something and publish it here rather than a more general WP style site you might be describing.

I might have commented too soon, as it certainly doesn't have any of the features that you were asking for! 😬

But it's a blogging platform built on Nostr.

Ahh ok! Thanks! Somewhat related, how does it support blogging better than the typical client?

Nostrgram.co also has a blog optionality.

I'm going to figure out how to be an ostrich soon... but... I completely agree with optionally especially after getting corn stuck on a CEX and having to endure US Bankruptcy...

I process dev delays a whole lot differently...

Markdown is easier for me than wordpress so I prefer blogstack, but wordpress I like the idea of wordpress plugins. Btcpayserver plugin with invoices and a more traditional checkout system would be awesome.

Sovereign Matt 2y ago

I am sure its possible but will need some front end code packages than can be simplified for non-tech savvy people. I am sure thing like AI copilot will advance to a point where this could be even more streamlined.

I think it’s great idea. More optionality can only be a good thing for nostr users. The more front ends there are, the harder is for governments it is to take down.

The front end is the “theme“, the design shell of your client: premium (paid) and free available. The “features” are plug-ins: as users we choose from a marketplace of algorithms, of ways to show our posted media to others (albums, grids, etc), how we display content, how we’d like our notifications to appear and which to get, the ability to add video or audio right from the custom client, integrated with our own hosting, etc - with an outcome that gives us a customer experience on the backend and allows us to give others a customer experience when they visit our profiles

* CUSTOM experience on the back end ffs lol

Yes it’s possible, one of many nostr projects I would like to get to is a Wordpress plugin so people can push their blogs to Nostr.

Will be a great use of the nostr.press domain that I’m sitting on

I can see that happening, WP is a great open source project with solid network effects, piggy backing nostr ontop of that to fill in certain holes makes sense, like easy and anon login and comment, purchases, syndicating content from your WP site to your nostr account.

I already saw the sovereign bitcoin site add nostr comment support on their blog articles, so its coming :)

maybe could be done with plugin's or extension's
