Awesome! Committed to adding support in Current. Don’t know exactly how yet, but we will figure it out!

Hey guys I'm the one of the developers for blogstack.io. With the addition of nip23 we have some solid support for long form content like blogs and articles.

One pretty cool feature is that the relay that the blog was posted on is encoded in the blog url (naddr....). So you should be able to post a blog to any site that implements nip23 on any relay you want and you'll be able to look it up on blogstack seemlessly.

You can try posting from here to test: https://write.nostr.com/

We also have basic lightning tipping builtin and in the future we have plans to support nip57 zaps as well.

Please play around with the site and let me know what you think, report bugs and suggest how we can improve.

If you're a dev or familiar with Github you can report issues or contribute here: https://github.com/nodetec/blogstack

I wonder if there is another way to show a #nostr post, whether long form NIP-24 or "classic" on an existing blog.

For example, to incorporate a Twitter tweet one can make a screenshot and insert that photo, but you could also insert a few lines of JavaScript code.

Is there a similar code snippet to add one #nostr post to an HTML page?

Application-specific relays are coming. I can feel it.

Very cool I gave it a go

Formatting is a little wonky but a good start

btw, idk how this happened but you're following Jack Dorsey's bech32 encoded npub not his public key in your following list. This broke our site for your profile when loading your contact list, we fixed it on our end to account for that but whatever client you used to follow him seems to have a bug since it should be adding his raw pubkey not his npub.

Thanks for the feedback! Could you expand upon the "wonkiness" of the format? The more specific you are the better we can improve the site.

Sure if I try to visit my profile it gives me an application error

The article didn't appear on my nostr feed on other clients, I had to repost it, maybe an option to let people know or get them to reshare might help
Meta description and title should customise to that of the article and the provided description when user posts
When I click on tags I selected for my article, I don't see any articles on some of the relays I selected, if it didn't publish to that relay maybe just a notification to let people know and to check their other relays they selected
Twitter and gif support would be cool, I just posted the links to test

the error was due to some other client adding jack dorseys pubkey as his npub in your contact list, we are handling that now, you should be able to visit your profile

other clients are likely using kind 1 so blog content shouldn't show up there. The kind for blogs is 30023 and should only show on blogging sites like blogstack.io (which is the only site of this kind currently afaik)
If you don't add a summary the site should show a snippet from the text in your post
there should be a popup at the end letting you know which relays were successfully posted to, I'll investigate to find out why that's not showing.
I agree I'll add some issues for embedding twitter links and gifs.

Thank you for the specific issues, this really helps.

Makes me wonder if a Nostr node-native storage relay is on the horizon... One which charges you sats per upload or play for larger content like videos.

I'd be among the first to buy a 10TB NAS and set that bad boy up as a content farm for nostriches... But it does sound a little centralized still. Could the content be mirrored or sharded between relays for uptime/redundancy while still remaining cost effective?

Nice work! couldn't find out how to tip authors tho. maybe I'm too stoopid

You should see a red lightning symbol on user profiles with lightning tips enabled. You can tip them if you have an extension like alby enabled.
