Currently I get them via an email or RSS, but like I said, the goal is to free them back into Nostr, so it isn't proprietary data. I doubt users would want a DM (I don't know) so in an ideal world they'd be displayed in clients , and in a less ideal world, my client at least. It's similar to link sharing in a Hacker News or Reddit style client, just curated ina different way, so I can't see making an HTTP round trip to display an associated image and summary is performant, so I want the metadata to travel with the event, if that makes sense

From Nip 23:
"title", for the article title"image", for a URL pointing to an image to be shown along with the title"summary", for the article summary"published_at", for the timestamp in unix seconds (stringified) of the first time the article was published
But was just thinking of https://ogp.me/ and Twitter metadata in web pages. I guess it's just tags and they can be up to my app?

If I want to store a web resource (basically an RSS item) what is the best NIP to use? I think 51 and kind 30003 or 30004 but I'd like to use the metadata from 30023

Thanks. I think I fixed that. I verified your email so you should get the digest tomorrow. Let me know if email deliverability is an issue for some other reason (I think this was a bug, not deliverability)

@npub1wmr…g240 As is typical, I'd like to just scrap this and start over after learning what I have. Nevertheless, I've been getting the daily email digest for some time now. So if you'd like you can set up one for yourself. 1. Click Sign in and add npub 2. Click on "Get the daily digest via email" to provide an email and verify it
Web page of latest for you would be https://newstr.social/feeds/npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240
add .rss to above for a rss feed

Search implies someone is using an algorithm to filter results. Just wondering if the users want the relays to do that as well. Maybe. But I could see someone considering relays like they consider internet service providers and net neutrality. I suppose it won't be an issue if the concerns are kept separate and transparency is maintained. DVMs are just services (AFAICT) but they are requested and delivered within the protocol

2024-04-23 14:28:22

- reply

I wonder if some feel relays shouldn't be involved with search and stay neutral, leaving search up to something like a DVM or other service. I guess as long as relays don't become consolidated and there is wide support for search, those arguments go away. Haven't really formed an opinion on it yet

I think they have one point right, a lot of companies might need to be hand held for a while. Micropayments has a reputation of "tried it" and "doesn't work" largely because the mentality in media is "brand loyalty"

I've got newstr working decently well. Today's top story for me. Need to work on why it thinks Figma is an article. They are using og:type = article so I'll have to introduce more metadata into the filter https://m.primal.net/HkrF.png

My projects are very much interested in this.
It seems to me that if a user is trusting a third party to create a filter, then they can trust the third party to be the author of the nostr events needed.
So if a client can look up an event authored by the feed service, that is indexed with a tag of the pubkey of the user requesting the feed, that event itself could contain list of events in the feed
And it could be indexed by any old relay.
So,
1. User indicates to client the feed service it wants to use by pubkey
2. Client requests event created by the feed service that has the users pubkey in a tag
3. The event contains the list if ids for the feed. If the event isn't there (the first request) I guess a DVM is needed to generate the initial file
4. Client requests those ids and displays to user
Anyway, it's a way to utilize existing relays

Advertising supported content on the web was doomed. As the ad dollars grew, they could never outpace the ever increasing inventory created by the explosion of content, so ad prices fell and continue to.
And, like you say, the staff sizes were made for the print era. Unsustainable.
And yes, distribution controlled by third party platforms left only crumbs for the creators.
Could Nostr help? Absolutely, but many journalists still embrace the top down, one to many control that traditional media had and will need a change of mindset.

I started porting a little Mastodon project that was a Nuzzel for Mastodon https://readily.news Sends a daily digest of links shared.
But for Nostr it seems like it makes more sense to put the data on a relay and make it a special purpose client. Almost there. Maybe have something in a week or so

Unfortunately even smart journalists that might influence the companies they work for think Nostr is blockchain, and they think blockchain was just a scam that came and went. So they'll likely be headed to Mastodon or BlueSky first. Doing my best to dispel those wrong ideas. And the other issue is media thinks in terms of reach, also wrong, but also currently a hurdle to get them on Nostr

I'm sure engagement is low on links everywhere, Nostr, Mastodon and Twitter etc. included. But it's not fair to say "People don't click links."
If I were to guess I'd say 30% of what I read is in Social streams, 30% of what I read comes from search results and 30% of what I read comes from links in social.
Fake numbers but I read a lot from social links. That's all I'm saying.

I've set up a node project
- Installed NDK
- Looks fine on the server side. Can interact with relays etc.
- I installed webpack and the config is pretty basic
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
target: 'web',
mode: 'production',
entry: './src/index.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'bundle.js'
}
};
I have an entry file like this:
import NDK, { NDKNip07Signer, NDKEvent } from "@nostr-dev-kit/ndk";
- npx webpack successfully creates the bundle (I see refs to NDK in the bundle)
- In a web page I see the bundle being served successfully
- When I try to instantiate in the browser, the console reads :
Uncaught ReferenceError: NDK is not defined
I know it's my setup, not the NDK, but I don't work with JS like this often.

I'll take that if it means the rest of the conversations are genuine, friendly and open.
