That’s really interesting! Share it on HN 🤗 they like this sort of self hosted blog stuff
Thanks, also for the suggestion!
seems like a good way to share a resume?
nicely done.
Without using a web site? It should work!
@Gigi if I'm not mistaken you are interested in something like this, working toward a simple blog solution powered by Nostr
良い
I reactivated my account because this showed up in my rss feed this morning. I just hafta hack on it and see if can be added to `publi.sh`.
View quoted note →Hey, you have "mpm" instead of "npm" on oracolo's repo README.md
Oh, this should be a clue that I hate npm haha
Thank you, fixed
I love stuff like this
Single html files ftw
that's exactly what I needed for my homepage
so sick
+ "I hate npm mode" 🫡
View quoted note →What does it mean to by powered by nostr? Do comments work over nostr, is the content published to nostr,.. ?
I was looking for something like this after Elon broke the twitter feed plugin on my website ❤️
Good question: you can use whatever client that supports long format (
https://habla.news, https://yakihonne.com, https://highlighter.com, etc) to write your post, and your personal blog is automatically updated. No fuss.
I will update the readme, thanks.
Remember that you can also embed individual notes/profiles using njump:
njump - the nostr static gateway
This is awesome, its cool to see simple HTML and JS apps making a comeback
View quoted note →I know I'm being annoying saying this, but I think this needs to pointed out for those who might want to use it.
INAL, this is not legal advice, but a blog made this way is in all likelihood not GDPR-compliant.
As soon as one opens the website, one's IP address (which is personal data) is sent to (and collected by) relay servers the user doesn't even know about.
So one should be mindful of that.
Still cool project, thanks for sharing it!
Its open source, no? You can add all the baggage you would like to the package Daniele published
Fixed
> Its open source, no?
I don't know how to answer this question. It doesn't have a license at the moment.

I can. I pointed it out for others who might want to use this, especially people located in the EU/UK or other territories with similar laws.
I don't think it *can* be fixed. It requires that the IP of the user is sent automatically to relays, most or all of which are not GDPR-compliant.
I wasn't requesting a change. Rather, I was warning those who may chose to rely on this of something to consider.
Indeed, GDPR is a giant mess that make no sense for the most part and has proven to be ineffective.
I was kidding about the fix, I just added a note to surface the relay concept, that is central in Nostr; incidentally this works also as transparent informative about where data is fetched, and so with whom IPs are shared, for just technical reasons, has requested by GDPR. In fact it's not different that hotlink an image.
Finally the user can, and should, personalize the relays, using something he has verified and trust (e.g. one's own).
This is amazing! Add window.nostr and zapthreads or some such and people can engage with it.
WDYT about having a separate nostr event describing "a blog" with something like a custom feed to show a curated list of stuff on the site?
I was just planning to add a filter setting, by tags, to personalize the blog content. So you can just display #myblog articles, or pick some more elaborate topics.
But why a new king? 3023 seems a good fit for a blog.
Instead, I thought about using the new custom feeds by
@hodlbod, but then I would have a huge job in handling all kinds haha, and the config probably would be too complex.
Filter by tag is best first start!
I'm not about a "kind for posts", I'm about "kind for describing a website". Right now you specify an author npub, but if you start using custom feeds etc it might get more and more complex, so maybe "blog" could be it's own event and then options and settings could be written there and it could be discoverable, gain WoT etc.
Cool project!
> Indeed, GDPR is a giant mess that make no sense for the most part and has proven to be ineffective.
I don't really consider the GDPR that messy, compared to other laws.
It's ineffective when people or companies don't comply with it. But all laws have people breaking them and getting away with it.
Regardless, I wasn't attempting to endorse or oppose the GDPR, just pointing this out as something to consider before using this.
> In fact it's not different that hotlink an image.
Which can also be an issue GDPR-wise and even CDNs can be dubious.

Source and how-to: 
Take it as a didactic experiment, it's no production ready, indeed it has some limitations (no SEO friendly structure), but can work as a temporary solution (e.g. coming soon and parking pages), and it is still an example of how easy it is to create a Nostr-powered blog and deploy it on a low-tech infrastructure.
