Water Blower on Nostr: Am I weird or something? I always prefer to write articles and track them with git. ...

Am I weird or something? I always prefer to write articles and track them with git. It gives me a powerful yet maybe useless feeling of ownership over my articles.

But publishing blogs in a git repo isn’t the best way to distribute it.

That’s why substack and social media exist

Even 3 years ago, several Nostr developers were experimenting with artificial writing clients over Nostr. I think it’s worth doing, again.

The key here is that we need to distinguish the authoring tool, the distribution platform and the storage platform.

A local folder based, git tracked markdown writing tool will be great for authoring.

Actually, the this tool simply works on file systems and git, we don’t even need a GUI tool. Users can just user Obsidian or whatever, as long as it produces text files.

It could just be a cli. The user doesn’t even need to learn the cli. Just ask the AI agent to do the cli calling.

On top of that, this tool should be able to publish to Nostr, publish to self hosted serverless website and even other platforms that support APIs.

The backup and storage should still be off distribution platforms and separately managed by git hosting systems.
