Yeah.

I also think that a magazine or a blog makes for a better reading experience than a chronological feed in the case of essays, and this preserves the categories and reading order regardless of edits and tags. It doesn’t require any matching hashtags, which are often used to sort articles and impose structure.

Also, it has syndication built in. It’s not limited to one author, and you can include a guest essay in any category, or even include a category that someone else is curating.

My favorite feature are the blogs, though I like to call them magazines.

A magazine is composed of nostr events, so it’s distributed via relays and can be styled and published in multiple ways in multiple places, and all you need is the naddr of the root event, then you can reconstruct the navigation and content to build a webpage.

For instance, this is the same Newsroom Magazine:

https://decentnewsroom.com/mag/newsroom-magazine-65b0d6

and

https://decentnewsroom.com/mag/newsroom-magazine-65b0d6

And this is the same magazine by @Laeserin on DN

https://decentnewsroom.com/mag/newsroom-magazine-on-imwald-by-laeserin

and on her own page

A long-form web client that also helps you create a blog from a collection of nostr articles.

It’s also possible to search and read here: https://decentnewsroom.com/bookshelf

It’s loading books from a special purpose relay @Silberengel set up with Project Gutenberg catalog imported to nostr.

Uploading is a bit more involved, depending on your source material and what you want to achieve, but there are multiple tools available for that too.

Here’s another option:

It’s an editor and reader I maintain. Use desktop for best results.

They serve a very specific purpose of wasting your time and giving you an endless list of details to worry about. It’s a compliance drill.

It’s also a manufactured inefficiency in the system that inflates the sense of how expensive and complicated airports are. When really, you are forced to spend time bored out of your skull in a mall waiting to board.

When you get up in the morning, spend the first half hour outside; on the balcony with your coffee, on a short walk, whatever you have available no matter the weather. It will help reset your internal clocks. Stick to a set time every day, no weekend sleep-ins.

Avoid eating late into the evening. If you start feeling like a snack, your body has begun to wind down for sleep. Head to bed instead of the kitchen. Use this as a signal. You can override the body’s sleep schedule, but doing so raises your stress hormones, because it’s supposed to be an emergency measure. Higher stress means less deep sleep, and more anxiety the next day.

These two things are mostly doable no matter your lifestyle.
