That's pretty cool! I'll have to try it 😊
Great, that makes 2 users! Feedback would be appreciated 🫡

Are you planning to push it to plugins store?
Could it also publish the post on Stacker News? What's missing for that? Maybe it could give a link to click that opens Stacker News and I just click publish?
Also does SN support directly viewing long form nostr posts (e.g. just given nevent).

As with most things, we don't. We want to do more nostr cross-posting/viewing stuff like this.
For awhile I was thinking that going fully nostr native was the way, but then I realized nostr isn't as much about decentralization as it is about portability and interop.
reply
I agree with that. The main innovations on nostr are imo:
- the portable and decentralized identity
- spraying your notes to many servers at the same time instead of one server
So from SN perspective the question is - can you take advantage of these established identities and can you create or gather the best content across those servers?
Summoning @ekzyis here as we talked about this a bit.

I am working on a blog myself now. Then we can also start eating our own doog food (features) for long content creators (with or without their own blog). I didn't think too much about nostr yet. But it makes a lot of sense. I can just cross-post to SN and nostr and then integrate SN more with nostr (or with other blogs) for this use case.
reply

Our plan to allow any post/comment on SN to be broadcast as a nostr note so long as the stacker has given us a way to sign messages with their identity.
gather the best content across those servers?
Coming from nostr into SN is harder. I haven't thunk on it enough ... If a stacker has "linked" a nostr identity to their account, their content on nostr could appear on SN as a "freebie" if it's kind and tags are appropriate or is a comment.
We definitely should allow nostr content embedding/linking like you suggested with nevent.

That would be cool.I just inputted by public key in the settings - as a noob here it's not clear to me where this is used?
Yeah I like your idea of connecting to a relay and getting Kind 1 events for this pub key. Maybe then to display them in a tab next to bio? Perhaps kind 30023 long-form events are a little too big/clunky in terms of UI/UX

I think the problem is we would need your private key to sign events. But we don't want your private key. And you also shouldn't want to give us your private key.
The public key in the settings is for NIP-05 ("nostr checkmarks")

Nostr extensions can sign events.
We may be able to safely wrap an in memory plaintext private key in a closure inside a web worker that can only sign events. Then pin encrypt it to browser storage.
I'm only 20% sure this could be made safe though. Even if it is safe it's creating bad habits for users.

It's just used for NIP-05 right now. But we have a nostr login PR waiting to be merged that will get the ball rolling on this other stuff.

Nice, You guys have done some amzing work on SN. looking forward to diving into your repo and learning more
Yeah it's currently in review for the plugins store by the Obsidian team. I'm new to Stacker News so I'm not sure if you can publish long-form kind 30023. I'll look into it - maybe this could be done via the short-form writer & the user ticks a box to also post to stacker news . Cool idea, thanks, I'll look into this some more...
reply
If Stacker News would have ability to get the post content via URL (i.e. stacker.news?new-post=Hello%20world) then it would be quite simple for you to create it in the plugin and just show the link. Either way - just brainstorming. @k00b is something like that supported?
reply
We could document the API that already exists better. It's an HTTP POST but it's possible today.

Available on the plugin store now !
