In fact, it is 3x faster than <a href="https://gohugo.io/">https://gohugo.io/</a> and <a href="https://jekyllrb.com/">https://jekyllrb.com/</a> -- the official websites of two leading static site generators. <br/><br/>The speed and performance of a website depends more on the quality of the generated HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code than the underlying technology used (e.g. CMS vs SSG).<br/><br/>Drupal allows you to use various input formats, such as Markdown. So, if you prefer using Markdown, you can easily use it in Drupal.<br/><br/>Drupal has a module called Tome (<a href="https://youtu.be/uqmq5FBP_T0">https://youtu.be/uqmq5FBP_T0</a>) that enables it to generate static sites. Moreover, Drupal is frequently used as the content repository/backend for Gastby (<a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/gatsby">https://www.drupal.org/project/gatsby</a>), NextJS sites (<a href="https://next-drupal.org/">https://next-drupal.org/</a>) and others.

Needless to say, this is not in line with security best practices, and could put a users data at risk. Am I wrong? Thoughts on that? 2023-03-03T08:05:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf9uuzgx29d39pfchka6z2agupqrd7qete23xq39e3dh7mqlmakegzyrmgc879hal4zf0ejt8rpmfj3q0ucayhwlr6nh5fe3spxfsznhuljyv5wuy It&#39;s very interesting that both habla.news and blogstack.io use the Nostr protocol as its foundation for a long-form blogging platform. <br/><br/>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 &#34;content hub&#34;, and the Nostr protocol defines the content type schemas.<br/><br/>This means habla.news, blogstack.io and others can display the same content, but with a distinct appearance and user experience.  <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>At a very large scale, that would look a lot like  Medium (multi-user blog), except it wouldn&#39;t be owned or controlled by a single organizations, and with built-in micro-payments that actually benefit the content creators.<br/><br/>@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? 2023-03-02T09:15:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy4p7e9vwt9296djhzuxwp7qaujmznezwghvp98kzdpgzdmmattxczyrmgc879hal4zf0ejt8rpmfj3q0ucayhwlr6nh5fe3spxfsznhuljcf9l8p I just updated my personal website to Drupal 10.0.4 (<a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/10.0.4">https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/10.0.4</a>), and it was a breeze!  Super grateful for the care and effort that so many people and organizations put into maintaining Drupal.

I&#39;d shift more investment to Damus. Specifically, I&#39;d love to see @jb55 surrounded with more UX testers and UX researchers. Clients like Damus are the gateway to Nostr. <br/><br/>Over the past few years, a significant number of leaders in web development and the Indieweb community have migrated to Mastodon. This shift was largely driven by the alignment of their values with the open and decentralized nature of Mastodon. As a result, Mastodon has become the primary hub for the most engaging web development conversations today.<br/><br/>In my opinion, the web development community would be an excellent early adopter for Nostr. The same reasons that prompted their adoption of Mastodon could apply to Nostr as well.<br/><br/>Furthermore, the web development community played a key role in Twitter&#39;s early success, as @jack may recall. I personally became a Twitter user in 2007, when the platform was less than a year old, after a conversation with Ev Williams and Larry Page.<br/><br/>The web development community could be a valuable target audience for Nostr. Not only are they technically savvy and able to navigate through difficult-ish user interfaces, they can also brings some more diverse and engaging conversations. Additionally, web developers have the ability to create integrations that can enhance the reach of Nostr. Since I blogged about Nostr on my site, two Nostr integrations have been created for Drupal already.<br/><br/>Furthermore, the web development community has a strong presence online, which can lead to increased visibility and promotion of Nostr through their blog posts, website links, and social media. Overall, targeting the web development community seems to be an opportunity for Nostr. 2023-02-28T09:23:57Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs06zvu45e0xzs9zkx3xqt5wsqd2kzpesg23uxen5keagq8hdmg0hczyrmgc879hal4zf0ejt8rpmfj3q0ucayhwlr6nh5fe3spxfsznhuljfd4xnp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg45ehmf4jl7gj6wyfcfwe0d0j0ax3qddje2suspw27tjqcaqseqc3uqahh'>nevent1q…qahh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I just had a quick look at the code.

ActivityPub user accounts are based on domain names, which can be controlled by third-party entities. Nostr&#39;s hash-based identification system is more decentralized, as it does not rely on domain names controlled by outside parties.<br/><br/>* Migrating to a different Mastodon server can be challenging as your username is tied to the domain name of the current Mastodon instance. However, this is not a problem in Nostr as users are identified using a unique hash. <br/><br/>* The Nostr protocol is easier to implement than the ActivityPub protocol, and appears more extensible. What I like about Nostr is what I like about RSS: it&#39;s simple and extensible.<br/><br/>* ActivityPub protocal has some artchitectural challenges; when you post a link to a site, that sites gets hammered with requests. (Any other architectural challenges?)<br/><br/>Depending on your views on censorship, the following could be good or bad:<br/><br/>* In ActivityPub, Mastodon server owners have the power to ban users. In Nostr, users can&#39;t be banned. Conversely, in Nostr, users cannot be banned, but either Nostr clients or Nostr relays may opt to block specific users or messages. This is a distinct approach compared to a network-wide ban.<br/><br/>--8&lt;--- 2023-02-13T20:51:28Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgh8mxydl8s8hg2j4kc92rkad9aqhck3jfvel90920yafgfjehs0gzyrmgc879hal4zf0ejt8rpmfj3q0ucayhwlr6nh5fe3spxfsznhulj5qj64h I&#39;m new to Nostr, but working on a blog post about it.  Given my reach in the web community, I&#39;d like to include a basic comparison with ActivityPub. I want my comparison to be fair and balanced and would appreciate any feedback that you may have.  🙏🏼 Screenshot with my current draft:   <img src="https://void.cat/d/Y8pohSxZEv16Y6BLGVPv5G.webp"> .  #nostr #activitypub /cc #[2] #[3] 2023-02-13T20:50:12Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs04wh4tz4w8n8k55t2qwt7pc7w7gxutxqm6y74rcktj0n792gkt8szyrmgc879hal4zf0ejt8rpmfj3q0ucayhwlr6nh5fe3spxfsznhulj8r7pxh First post! 2023-02-12T12:23:37Z
