Yeah, it would be cool to have some cms+relay that I can connect to with my nostr key and publish only long form posts there so that no one needs to have a nostr app to read them but they can do it if they want to.
Doesn't even have to be Nostr connected really. I just want a blogging platform, whether it's a CMS or static generator or some kind of hybrid, with Lightning support.
Maybe I can just use a regular old static site generator and embed a QR code for Lightning in the CSS or something. I won't know exactly which post I got the zaps from, and it won't keep count per post, but it'll do the job for now if no better options currently exist.

I'm - very inconsistently - working on a Hugo theme with Lightning tips inside. The goal is to have a static website generator that non technical people can use to easily have a Lightning-enabled blog. The issue is that Hugo itself might be a bit rebutting for really non-technical users.
The idea is that a user should be able to accept Lightning tips simply by filling the website YAML configuration file (for example with a Lighting Address, a Tippin account, a BTCServer endpoint) and/or page-level params (this for example allows to have a direct LN Address for each article).
Is it something like that that you had in mind when you mentioned static generators?

Very cool. Do you have a repo to share?

Yes that's exactly what I had in mind wrt static site generators. Would be very interested in that. I'm very comfortable in the terminal. Running Linux as I type this.

It doesn't but nostr network effect is gonna be very powerful. I'm guessing if you want to have a blog you want people to read it. Imagine you posting on your blog but the post and all the comment also appear in nostr app timeline so that everyone on the network can interact and find out about you.
