For now they’re separate, the reason for that is I want the app to be offline first. In the future I’ll put another button next to the save button for publishing the relay list as a 10002 event.

Comet doesn’t make any external calls until you’re ready to publish.

Just posted my first long-form directly from Comet.

So smooth! I had to do a little editing over on Habla afterward, but not much at all.

It duplicated the title and cover image. Instead of just putting the title into the title field and the cover image into that field, it also left them in the body of article, too. Was a quick fix, though. Also, I had to add a short summary/description, since there isn't a field for that in Comet.

Other than that, it was flawless!

Here's the article:

Try reading the article on notestack.com, the way i handle titles and images is a little more sane in imo, it accounts for the title and cover image so that they aren’t shown on the article page.

that way everything can be contained in the content.

As an example checkout this article on both notestack and habla:

https://notestack.com/liminal@gitcitadel.com/mfayffebPrMI520ftzIlE

https://habla.news/u/liminal@gitcitadel.com/mfayffebPrMI520ftzIlE

you’ll notice that the cover image is not included in the article (because it’s not in the content) which is similar to how medium does things. It also parses out the first top level header if it matches the title tag so they aren’t duplicated.

Also if you like the editor in comet notestack uses basically the same one, I’m keeping them in sync until i can provide the editor as a resuable library/component that other longform sites can use.

Definitely makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Since these articles are appearing on my website (powered by npub.pro), I have to format them in a way that it will display them properly.

Still really like how easy the flow of writing in Comet and publishing when ready is, though. I will probably just continue to publish from Comet initially and make a few refinements in Habla as needed.

Also maybe i can see what the creator of npub.pro thinks about my approach, maybe we can get everything in sync. I’m willing to change how comet works when publishing so that it parses the first h1 markdown title and allows you to choose a different image as the cover image if we’re all agreeing that’s the standard.

I have no experience with markdown/long-form editors, and not sure why one approach would be more beneficial than the other. AFAIK all nostr long-form apps expect title/image in tags, not content, so if we decided to make changes here we'd have to convince at least half-dozen apps to comply, which is not trivial. Can you please repeat the benefits of it?

Chris 9mo ago

i’ll look into adding descriptions soon for both comet and notestack.

Dikaios1517 9mo ago

Comet reminds me a lot of Joplin, but without the ability to have notebook hierarchies, and without a separate plain text and markdown view.

Chris 9mo ago

yea i’ll add in the plaintext view soon, but i truly hate notebook nesting notebooks/folders tbh, so i’ll likely never add that feature. If you notice that they’re are too many notebooks in the sidebar i recommend hiding them (since you rarely are probably using more than like 5 at a time) or collapsing the section. Also consider using tags to improve filtering notebooks. That way the sidebar and your notes can stay “flat”.

Dikaios1517 9mo ago

You're not wrong. My Joplin is an absolute mess.

Chris 9mo ago

I had a similar problem with obsidian, i kept having to refactor the folder structure and it let me do way too much nonsense imo that stopped me from just writing content/taking notes. In comet there is a tag view scoped to each notebook so you can break a notebook up by tag (without the notebook being polluted by all tags), and even further the more tags you add. You can add a tag by just putting a hashtag in the note content.
