 I have a question for the privacy conscious folks.

My friend wants to start a blog and he’s trying to decide between privacy platforms like

- write.as
- bearblog.dev

And going for @Highlighter and Nostr for the censorship resistance + zaps.

Any advice here? 
 Why not simply posting notes on nostr? 
 Isn't that in practice what Habla and Highlighter do but in a better looking blog reading experience?

Can you chime in here nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75spzpmhxue69uhnzdps9enrw73wd9hszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4eszynhwden5te0wfjkccte9enrw73wd9hsxv8qkt ?

 Will be happy to help you set up and cater npub.pro to your needs! 
 I have a few questions. 

- What is long form content exactly on Nostr? I see that long form doesn’t show as a note on the feed, and notes don’t show as articles or long form on platforms like Habla or @Highlighter 

- what is best for privacy? Nostr or a privacy forward writing app like write.as or bearblog.dev?

- I want to decide first if it’s Nostr or the others. 

- If I create a website using npub.pro, how does it work exactly? And how private is it? 

- also, if I don’t want to use a custom domain (privacy concerns), do I get an npub URL?

- would love to connect and chat more about this. 
 Also, it appears to be a bit buggy on my end.

 Yeah we'll fix empty admin panel soon. Please start from homepage by clicking Try it 
 Long form is a separate kind, supports markdown. 

Some apps show it on the feed, some don't.

Habla highlighter and Yakihonne should all be interoperable, create in any of them.

Not sure what's better for privacy. We don't ask for email etc if that's your concern.

Npub.pro website is a nostr event describing who the author is and what content is included. Then our engine converts it into html pages.

You get npub.pro subdomain by default. Can also self host on any web server.

Let me know if this helps  
 If I don’t self host, I’m guessing it’s hosted across relays?

Also, I was more concerned about IP address privacy, but decide to go with Nostr. I want to contribute to the space and put my money where my mouth is. Nostr is really powerful and zaps are also a no brainer.

This is super useful and will for sure use npub.pro to build a site for the blog and use the subdomain. Better than sharing a long Habla URL. 

This is an amazing tool ⚡️⚡️ 
 You only self host the code, all data is on relays no matter who hosts.

IP address is ofc exposed to us when you use the site, vpn or tor should help.

Looking forward to collaborating on your site!
