It's very interesting that both habla.news and blogstack.io use the Nostr protocol as its foundation for a long-form blogging platform.
In over-simplified terms, the Nostr protocol allows habla.news and blogstack.io to share a content database. The Nostr relays essentially provide a decentralized "content hub", and the Nostr protocol defines the content type schemas.
This means habla.news, blogstack.io and others can display the same content, but with a distinct appearance and user experience.
A first use case is a blog for one person. Just show the content from one Nostr user on a website in the traditional blog format. What is interesting is that Nostr automatically provides such blog a commenting system and social media integration.
A second use case is the equivalent of an RSS feed aggregator. It gathers posts from different bloggers on specific topics/hashtags and puts them together on one page or in one new RSS feed.
At a very large scale, that would look a lot like Medium (multi-user blog), except it wouldn't be owned or controlled by a single organizations, and with built-in micro-payments that actually benefit the content creators.
@verbiricha, @MAHcodes, @fiatjaf, did I get that right? Am I missing something? And in your mind, what are the end user benefits of this approach?
