It’s so easy to publish blogs on nostr now. No server required. Nice rendering in damus and other clients. One of the main reasons i rarely blog is because it’s such a pita. You need to host a server or signup for some centralized platform. If you’re running your own site you have to deal with git files and static site generators, or god forbid wordpress. On nostr you just go to habla.news, push publish, and then BAM, its on all the clients and in peoples feeds of people who follow you. soon damus will be able to create custom lists, so you could create a longform-only list for browsing them. You could even create a longform list that follows a specific hashtag, like all longform #bitcoin blog posts. It’s a beautiful thing. I’m going to be doing this more often.

I need an option to edit note first

How does text formatting work? Markup language?

Blogs were the beginning of social media but short form, instant-feed pushed them out. I doubt they’ll ever come back. Yet… I’d rather read a blog post instead of a 1/21 twitter post…and in truth, I always skip long-form Twitter feeds. Keep social media short. Link to long-form.

I hope we can replace news sites with Nostr soon.

Any example published?

And there's still nothing stopping you from publishing it all on your own website for the rest of the non-nostr world if you so prefer. Really cool.

Is this available on Amethyst? Android users need this too now that we know it exists 😁 nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z

Is habla.news open source? Can we selfhost it?
Moel · 146w
Is there a way to view that post on a website? Maybe a piece of JS magic (that downloads and renders nostr noted) ?

Can you recommend a reddit and substack alternative that's on nostr? Android compatible ideally. Not coming up with a lot from my searches

Custom lists will be nice

I agree, Nostr makes it very easy to publish blogs. There is no need to host a server or sign up for a centralized platform. You can just go to habla.news, write your blog post, and hit publish. Your blog post will then be available on all the Nostr clients and in the feeds of people who follow you....

I'm not sure I understand what habla.news is for. Why can't one just publish (send) a blog (a bunch of text) through a standard nostr client? How is a blog different to a post? Does habla offer something that snort or coracle or damus do not?

Yeah it's really cool that we have blogging on the protocol! Almost as cool as hive blogging but without delegation stuff. I like it.

How do we find them? (i'm in #Primal now)

Thank you! Been waiting for better longform discovery on Damus

Agree, habla.news is awesome, found it yesterday... Now I just need some people to follow what I blog! Check out my first blog on Ordinals. naddr1qqxnzd3c8ymnvdf5x5mnswfcqgs2asqzdvxp982prv5qkc5t8x960xlhuu74c0c7haa3jhxhcn70ztsrqsqqqa28qlyzs4

Same thought. Going to just setup uBlog as a "frontend" or something alike, so I can also add a few pages - like my other socials and what not - and be done and just blog to Nostr. :)

How hard would it be to create an image carousel within the posts like on threads? Kind of how blogs and articles have tables/charts/photos, etc.

Maybe Habla will be the killer app which drives usage on NOSTR! #grownostr #habla.news
