After having not published a longform note on el Nostr in a while, and I gotta say, it’s still confusing as hell how to do it correctly.

Clients don’t display them the same way, but the bigger problems I’ve noticed are how to add images and links, and edit posts after publishing.

I started a post on YakiHonne, and thought I had the image loaded correctly according to the markdown syntax. It looked fine in the preview, but after posting the article, I saw that the image tag had broken.

So I tried to edit it with the same client, but the content never loaded – I was just stuck waiting for it to appear. Then I remembered I could use Habla News, so I was able to fix the image tag manually using that client and republish. Of course, when I went back to check the article on Damus, I saw both the old and new version, because that client doesn’t treat replaceable kinds the same way as other clients.

Is this the best we’ve got?
