I am wondering if we can create a substack alternative based on Nostr. Long form notes for the posts. Encrypted using MLS to restric access to paying users. Some sort of automation to add pub keys to the group when an account is zapped (Here smart contracts, which both #bitcoin and #Monero lack, can come in handy). When a post is shared ia regular messages is shared, mentioning the encrypted long format note and link to "subscribe" to the channel. Comments are regular messages on the unencrypted message so that the post gets amplified with engagement. @JeffG what do you say? Is this possible?

I am building a blogging system based on Nostr long notes. I suppose I can try adding paywall blogs. My development is advancing at snail pace due to lack of time... So let's see how it develops

Or just host your own site??? Nostr isn't the solution to everything. Nostr is only for allowing account sovereignty among people to who are too lazy to host their own posts. The only reason I am here instead of on my own Wordpress site is because I want to make it as easy as possible for those lazy bastards to recieve and reply to my posts.
And "to make it as easy as possible for those lazy bastards to recieve and reply to [...] posts" is exactly why I think we should create a substack over Nostr alternative ๐Ÿ˜€
