Hi everyone,

I'm Emre, a developer who's been blogging on and off for years. I kept running into the same problem every writer here probably knows: you spend years building an audience on Medium, Substack or some hosted platform, and then the rules change, the fees go up, or the algorithm decides your posts don't matter anymore. Your followers are stuck inside their system, not yours.

So I built jotstr.com, and it's now in public beta.

The idea in plain terms

Jotstr runs on Nostr, an open protocol. You don't need to know anything about it to use Jotstr, but here's the simple version: think of it like email. Your email address isn't locked to one app; you can switch from Gmail to Outlook and people can still reach you. Nostr works the same way for publishing. Your identity is yours, your posts are stored on multiple independent servers, and your followers follow you, not a company. If Jotstr disappeared tomorrow, your writing and your audience would still be there.

What you get

• A free blog at yourname.jotstr.com in under a minute (or connect your own domain)
• A clean, distraction-free editor: write in rich text or Markdown, drafts auto-save
• 8 reading-focused themes (Minimal, Magazine, Journal, Terminal and more)
• One-click import from WordPress, Substack, Ghost, Medium or Hugo
• RSS feed, comments you can turn on/off per post, spam filtering
• Optional reader tips that go straight to you with 0% platform fee
• No ads, no tracking scripts, no cookies
• Open source (MIT license)

Why I'm posting

It's a beta, so there are rough edges. I'd really appreciate it if you tried it and told me what's confusing, broken, or missing. A few things I'm especially curious about:

1. Was signing up clear, or did anything feel too technical?
2. What would stop you from moving your blog here?
3. Which feature from your current platform would you miss most?
4. Does the "you own your audience" idea matter to you, or is it a non-issue?

Brutal honesty is welcome. I'd rather hear it now than after launch.

Thanks for reading, and happy writing!

I've created a tool to help you to import your data from anywhere to nostr network. For now its only allow you to import from Goodreads and Imdb. Link: https://x2nostr.emre.xyz/ How to:

• login with extension
• export data from goodreads/imdb
• click get started
• add csv file
• it will collect metadata, wait for it.
• then click start to import

-- Goodreads lists imported for both bookstr format and standard nip-51 format.

Happy to hear feedbacks.

I accepts zaps from delirehberi@emre.xyz , and its my nostr handle.

I have been using Nostr for a long time and always use a browser extension to log in to Nostr-supported apps. I believe it’s the most secure way to use Nostr because it never exposes the nsec to clients. Instead, it injects window.nostr, and all clients use it to sign events.

However, automated apps sometimes require signing access, and naturally, it is not easy to trust applications with your nsec. To solve this, there is NIP-46 Remote Signing.

I am currently using nak via Docker on my Raspberry Pi, but it is not easy to use. nak is a large tool that supports many things at once and lacks a UI. It simply generates a bunker URI and shows it in the logs, which is neither usable nor user-friendly.

Because of this, I decided to build a web tool. My first attempt was on Cloudflare, but unfortunately, Durable Objects are not sufficient to handle always-listening WebSockets. I then changed my approach, removed the entire Cloudflare tech stack, and now it is working in a single Docker image.

Bilo Bunker is a stateful, multi-tenant Nostr remote signing service (NIP-46). It enables users to keep their Nostr private keys securely stored while responding to remote signing requests from authorized Nostr clients across Nostr relays.

Backend Application Engine (Hono + Node.js): Handles NIP-46 RPC signing commands, NIP-05 profile verification, and SQLite persistent storage.

Auto-SSL Reverse Proxy (Caddy 2): Provisions and auto-renews Let’s Encrypt / ZeroSSL TLS certificates for your domain out of the box.

TailAdmin React UI SPA: Modern dashboard allowing users to log in with NIP-07 (window.nostr), view active bunker:// URIs, revoke client permissions, and audit real-time RPC logs.

It’s ready to use on GitHub. I’d love to get some feedback, and don’t forget, it’s still a work in progress. Let me know if you find any issues or bugs. And for the AI haters, this tool was developed using agentic AI tools. So, the UI is TailAdmin and might look like AI slop. Still, you can trust it because it was carefully architected and reviewed by me.

Hey Nostr! I have good news. I built NostrBridge. You can configure any service that support webhooks to connect service to nostr network! Did you release a package on github? It will share in your nostr account. Did you watched a movie over plex? It will share on nostr network.

Hey Friends

I am organizing an event. It will be viking themed but its hard to find good music for party. I want to give a playlist to DJ. I want techno/house kind musics. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks a lot.
