I'm experimenting with turning arbitrary npubs that have published articles into a blog-like website, including RSS feed. if those articles have an imeta tag attached with type "audio/mpeg", and a URL to an mp3, it will become a podcast.
the idea is that a podcast can be a collection of articles with URLs associated with them.
try pasting an npub in a see what comes up. this is only the thinnest of thin vertical slices, so go easy on it. this is pre-alpha messing around.
if you want to bypass the front page, try:
https://npub.blog/[npub goes here]
and RSS feeds look like:
https://npub.blog/[npub goes here]/rss
we could drop the dns and get away with using bare IP addresses, but that would be a painful hack. we'd end up with people camping on easily remembered IP addresses recapitulating DNS inside nostr. hmm.
I agree there's a lot that can be done by just not having the human readable layer. maybe that is enabled by WoT.
still, there is probably room for something human readable, even if it's something more like seedwords for an npub, just to allow people to speak it.
npubs will replace IP addresses for identifying snd retrieving content. but will there be an analog to domain names, a human readable layer, something not nip05?
porkbun.com has been great. no nonsense, good low-time-preference pricing. by that, I mean they don't do try to lure you in with low initial signup and then high renewal, but just a solid, competitive price.
"There is a Remnant there that you know nothing about. They are obscure, unorganized, inarticulate, each one rubbing along as best he can. They need to be encouraged and braced up because when everything has gone completely to the dogs, they are the ones who will come back and build up a new society; and meanwhile, your preaching will reassure them and keep them hanging on. Your job is to take care of the Remnant, so be off now and set about it."
going grapheneos?
absolutely, I love it. this is how we find the remnant.
if someone wants to reform the current polis, I wish them luck. meanwhile, we'll be here building a parallel polis, based on our values.
nostr is the digital frontier. this is where people are mixing their labor and information with the state of nature and bringing untamed digital wildernesses into productive use

after delving into the outbox model ( https://mikedilger.com/gossip-model/ ) I'm realizing it is much simpler than I thought, and makes perfect sense. thank you nostr:nprofile1qqswuyd9ml6qcxd92h6pleptfrcqucvvjy39vg4wx7mv9wm8kakyujgpypmhxue69uhkx6r0wf6hxtndd94k2erfd3nk2u3wvdhk6w35xs6z7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpypmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjj7a0nq40 for pushing this through.
if you are working with nostr clients, this should be on your reading list
I'm looking at https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/51.md and not seeing how I would make a list of lists based on what's already in there.
which `kind` would you use to represent such a list?
the only missing protocol component is a list of lists kind
I like the idea of an app that turns opml files into lists of lists of npubs that represent rss feeds. also the reverse, lists of lists of npubs i to an opml.
