Any feedback regarding the crossposting format?

Unfortunately, nostr notes don’t support Markdown so not sure what’s the best way to map SN content to nostr notes. 🤔

Isn’t it a client issue and not a nostr note issue?

Edit: you could add an option to strip markdown syntax on cross post? That way you can choose to keep or remove markdown formatting? I would hope that nostr clients would eventually be able to detect markdown and render it appropriately at some point

The spec explicitly mentions clients shouldn’t parse markdown content in kind 1:

1: text note: the content is set to the plaintext content of a note (anything the user wants to say). Content that must be parsed, such as Markdown and HTML, should not be used. Clients should also not parse content as those.

Ah, gotcha. Is there a different kind that does allow it?

Also, should not isn't as strong as must not lol

That’s true lol

I guess again it feels like a client issue. Either detect and parse and render markdown, or also support other kinds that the spec allows to contain markdown 🤷‍♂️

I don’t use nostr so I’m probably missing context, but maybe an uninitiated opinion is helpful

30023? a few clients have formatting.

I always thought crossposting should be for long notes…

Yes, NIP-23 but people expect their content to show up in clients like Primal or Damus

One thing for sure, the error handling in case the nostr extension takes too long to sign or rejects the request is bad… just saying 😝

We have a ticket to remove the toast and show the error as a retryable action in your notifications like we have for zaps from attached wallets

It would probably be better to just remove anything that registers as markdown formatting, until nostr clients support it.

With images, it would be nice if you could do whatever it is that nostr does to display them on notes.
