Working on nostr stuff comet.md notebin.io notestack.com relayrunner.org relaywizard.com NIP-C0 author

they all should, you can control which relays you publish to on comet and read from on habla for instance. Comet uses relay.damus.io by default.

I’ve never used rpm as a package manager but try uninstalling first before reinstalling, maybe something like:

dnf list installed | grep comet

dnf info comet

sudo dnf remove comet

it may have version in the package as well not sure so i just used comet as the package in this case.

Check a nostr longform site like habla.news, highligher.com, or notestack.com.

There is a separate kind for markdown structured notes that these sites support.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

It’s available at https://comet.md hopefully I’m supporting the platform your on, I’ll try to setup builds for windows and Intel Mac soon.

A desktop notetaking app, where you can publish your long form notes to nostr.

A new version of ☄️ comet is available at https://comet.md

Updates:

- improved search highlight

- improved publish dialog

- cross platform note sync (requires you to setup your own couchdb server)

Live Sync your notes cross platform with Comet 0.7.0

https://v.nostr.build/hZ3ya2BkRYDRcLrJ.mp4

Note: This requires you to setup your own CouchDB server for now, I chose to set it up this way first rather than provide sync as a service to start for technical users to maintain maximum sovereignty over their notes. I will provide an encrypted live sync as a service in a future update, likely paid through lightning if possible.

This videos shows two instances of comet on the same machine but i've tested it and it works well across mac and linux on separate machines.

Improved note list search highlight in Comet 0.7.0

https://v.nostr.build/sMRBMlgurJgLxIqw.mp4

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.

A new version of Comet is out!

Download at https://comet.md/

- Added package for .deb

- Added package for .rpm

- Fixed context menus on linux

- Search is highlighted

- Editor is now centered when app grows past a certain size

- A few editor bugs were fixed

- Click anywhere in the full screen editor (similar to medium.com)

I’ll give more updates and demos tomorrow, pls test it out and give me feedback.

Paste Images directly into the editor which are then convert to markdown format when saved/posted

https://v.nostr.build/5jtdYUbofTPPe4jK.mp4

The editor will autoscroll as you get close to the bottom of the editor so you don't get stuck typing at the bottom of the viewport
