Proof of concept: e-mail style subscriptions on Nostr
Problem: I love reading some authors on e.g. @Habla News or @The Nostr Report but I tend to miss their updates.
Could I get a DM every time they post something? Or on a weekly basis?
So I built a tiny ~20kb fully functional web component for publishers that:
- scans publisher DM inbox for messages with "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" and builds a subscriptor list on the fly
- sends out a message to the list with a custom message including an URL
- checks sent DMs to warn if that link was already shared
Is kind 4 the way to go? Or could we have a better construct for subs/unsubs, maybe using shared lists?
Please share and let me know!
