Yep, this is a big opportunity. I've thought about this concept.
Very cool stuff.
Websites are Nostr events, themes are open-source The Ghost themes published on relays and Blossom servers. Npub.pro does not host your data, it only hosts the code to convert Nostr events to web pages. The NIP-512 is here.
it's really cool indeed, but is the content delete / editable?
why not login with LN and integrate with Ghost blog? Hosting your own blog is already pretty easy these days, the hard part is how to keep the value flowing without selling your soul / I don't really see how this Nostr based blog making creators' life easier yet.
You might be able to tell it to not show something.

I think it might help creators show all the varied kinds of nostr events in one place. Rather than a twitter widget and youtube widget and a comment widget, it's all just nostr events that can be reskinned however you want. And if you trust your relays or use enough of them, you don't have to host the events yourself.

but the idea of blog is having your own digital home where you can have FULL control?

I like SN's model more: not only much simpler but also focuses on solving the main problem: value flowing. 👀

That's a great point, but I suspect not all people use blogs that way. Some people probably just want a showcase of their online life where they can control how it's presented.
I am getting stuck in the "This may take 5-10 seconds to complete" every time I try it, but I really like the concept so I'm going to keep trying from time to time
edit: I see the error "fetchRelays timeout" in console
npub is npub1saessfmtu5xwnwh60e0rwnj0e067npv6yxgc7d96algqqart056s5gkuqh I actually see the error Error: Failed to reserve domain name when it gets to this screen, maybe something wrong with my name or username having unknown digits or emojis? thanks for looking into it
Yes right now we only support kind 1 notes and kind 30023 long-form posts, but all other kinds are possible in theory, so we will get there eventually!
I really need to get into this. As someone that has used wordpress for a while, it is pretty expensive and is very complex to use. I would love something like this for www.satsmate.com
You don't have to be kind:30023 creator kind:1 works well too!
We do have paid plans on the roadmap, and some abuse prevention measures, hope we can keep npub.pro subdomains free as much as possible. We'll see how it goes.
There are a lot of types of subs/notifications we could do:
push notifications, these sites are PWAs and push notifications seem to make sense
follow button to just add the creator to nostr contact list
subscribe button that adds the site to some new "followed websites" list - need apps to start supporting those
subscribe-by-email - you can already do that, just add js code of one the ConvertKit/mailchimp/etc services and collect emails of the visitors (will need a nostr-to-email bridge of some sort to deliver updates to subscribers)
paid subscriptions - view posts previews as anon, pay and subscribe to view the full posts
All of this will come, eventually. Right now we'll be focusing on talking to the first users and prioritize from there.

Oh, I forgot about those. 😅

You are right. The email thing is just a matter of adding it to the header/footer. Thanks for the pointer.
