First Dispatch from the Habla Experiment — Blogging on Nostr Without the Bloat
Alright, I’m trying something new. This is my first post on Habla.news, a long-form publishing platform built on Nostr—the protocol that basically looked at Web2 and said, “Thanks, but we’ll take it from here.”
Habla is simple. You write, you publish, and it’s live on Nostr. No logins, no follower counts, no algorithm whispering in your ear about “engagement.” Just your words, your key, and the open network. It’s like blogging before blogging got turned into a growth funnel.
There’s no flashy dashboard or dopamine loop. You write in markdown, hit publish, and your post is out there—signed, sealed, and delivered to anyone tuned in. It’s barebones in the best way, like a notebook that talks back.
I’m here to test the waters. See if writing on Nostr can feel like writing again—without the noise, the ads, or the “content strategy.” Just ideas, shared freely, and maybe a few zaps if someone out there thinks it’s worth a sat or two.
So here it is. First post. No promises, no schedule. Just curiosity and a keyboard.
Let’s see where this goes.
