Some sort of easy git integration would be very helpful for long-form posts -- something sort of like gist.github.com would be nice. It would also make creating/editing posts offline much easier.
It would be an easy way for people to monetize useful code snippets too. Often I will create a little gist showcasing/demonstrating some code or construct, and it would be great if I could do it on SN so that it at least has a chance to self-monetize.
That's a fascinating idea.
I like how in this thread we've wandered toward some potential monetization models: rewarding long-form writing at a more granular level, for giving / receiving feedback; and for well-articulated bits of useful code -- two things that would have been impossible to hit with monetary incentives in any way other than btc / lightning. How many times on StackOverflow would have gleefully, gratefully given somebody 10k sats for helping you with a conundrum?
Intriguing to think about.
