I'd love an app that shows a grid of icons for all the writers I want to read with little notification bubbles on them if there is something new. Then I could click on their icon and immediately go to their blog.
Mhh ok, I think I understand because I think I have the same problem:
instead of scrolling YouTube and consume personalized, algorithmic trash, I am actually thinking of creating a list of all quality channels, blogs, newsletters etc. so anytime I want to read or watch something, I can just go to my list and pick something from there. No more wasting time going through the algorithmic wasteland.
This probably isn't the right solution either: who wants another app that basically sounds like a RSS reader?
What if it's just a website with opt-in push notifications if you install it like an app if you want?
The notes I quoted are from Jun 14, so just a few days after #1001011 (Jun 8)
I am sharing them now here because I missed them and I see many still following the old account, so I think many others also missed them
It's not a bug, it always worked like that.
The ids are sequential, and you can always still pay for an item.
Once an id was assigned, it's gone.
This is why I don't understand people's desire to subscribe to newsletters. Even if you're my favorite writer, I don't want to receive an email version of your latest article. I just want to know that you wrote something new and then go read it wherever you published it. There is absolutely zero reason for your article to be in my inbox next to my utility bill.
I don't understand this point. Isn't the mail with the article inside also letting you know that they wrote something wherever they publish it?
How else do you want to be notified? Email is the only thing everyone has to get notified about something next to visiting the platform yourself regularly.

The need of nostr is not comparable to the need of having bitcoin.
Thank you!
Aleksandar Svetksi also wrote about this here:
Nostr is a tool, not a revolutionNostr is full of Bitcoiners, and as much as we like to think we’re immune from shiny object syndrome, we are, somewhere deep down afflicted by it like other humans. That’s normal & fine. But…while Bitcoiners have successfully suppressed this desire when it comes to shitcoins, it lies dormant, yearning for the least shitcoin-like thing to emerge which we can throw our guiltless support behind.That thing arrived and it’s called Nostr.As a result, we’ve come to project the same kind of purity and maximalism onto it as we do with Bitcoin, because it shares some attributes and it’s clearly not a grift.The trouble is, in doing so, we’ve put it in the same class as Bitcoin - which is an error.Nostr is important and in its own small way, revolutionary, but it pales in comparison to Bitcoin’s importance. Think of it this way: If Bitcoin fails, civilisation is fucked. If Nostr fails, we’ll engineer another rich-identity protocol. There is no need for the kind of immaculate conception and path dependence that was necessary for Bitcoin whose genesis and success has been a once in a civilisation event. Equivocating Nostr and Bitcoin to the degree that it has been, is a significant category error. Nostr may ‘win’ or it may just be an experiment on the path to something better. And that’s ok !
