I haven't blogged in a while but wanted to point out that I've been working on a nostr server, at nostr.ides.club, it has a simple chat interface and support for long form content (like blog posts), an RSS feed, web links and stickers.

I increasingly don't like the idea of being tied to large programs like Telegram or WhatsApp and would like to build a personal alternative, but haven't yet convinced my friends to join.

Nostr seems like a simple protocol you could use to build out a whole slew of interesting tools.
