[tantek] Interesting. Also I recognize fiatjaf from earlier indieweb days

IWDiscordRelay <j​acky#7226> ah Rabble introduced me to this last night, Nostr
#
IWDiscordRelay <j​acky#7226> disappointing that this is more-or-less a fork of SSB with bitcoin slapped on top and some safety levers pulled away (blocking for example)
#
IWDiscordRelay <j​acky#7226> will say, these options (the more 'decentralized'/hybrid-web ones) are beginning to make more sense
#
IWDiscordRelay <j​acky#7226> it's like fighting a wall attempting to convince people to consider having a site, let alone joining a shared thing like PixelFed or Mastodon

[schmarty] This is an interesting concept. https://montaigne.io/

benpate[m] Wow, Montaigne looks great. It looks like it is scraping the output of a “shared” Apple note. There’s no GitHub link on the site, so I’m guessing it’s closed source. Do you know how it’s built?

#
[schmarty] Not a clue. I appreciate the effort to ease the user experience but it appears to be closed, hosted only at montaigne.io, and doesn't support bringing your own domain. 😕

#
[aciccarello] I remember someone shared a service that works with text files on cloud drive providers and does support domains

sknebel what is blot?
#
Loqi Blot is an open source flat file blogging platform built by David Merfield that uses Dropbox, Google Drive, or Git to store your content https://indieweb.org/Blot
#
sknebel that?
#
[aciccarello] That's what I was thinking of!
#
[tantek] jacky, re: "fighting a wall", I think there's a big difference between people that have a "chat mindset", and a "post/publishing mindset"
#
[tantek] SSB feels like it leans more towards the latter, that was feel I got from it.
#
[tantek] AP/Masto is somewhere in between, especially with js;dr implementations

#
[tantek] has anyone seen / figured out how to use Montaigne for a subfolder on your own domain rather than a subdomain of their domain?
#
[tantek] not really interested in publishing on something . Montaigne . io

#
benpate[m] [schmarty]: if Montaigne has figured out the APIs, it means that others can too. I love the inspiration, and might consider something like that. Perhaps a bridge from Apple notes to an open publishing protocol?

[tantek] benpate[m] I like that line of reasoning, will follow up in #indieweb-dev
