I'm trying to see if I can make a nostr-based PubPeer. PubPeer is a website used to discuss scientific papers, and it sucks, but it's been used to figure out a lot of science scandals.
https://pubnostr.com/
I know next to no modern web development, I more or less asked Claude to make me a PubPeer clone and it gave me PubNostr. In principle, I should just be able slap on nocomment below the detail pages for papers and .... that should be it? The default relays in nocomment don't work it seems, I presume I'll run my own relay eventually.
I still don't have a good feel for nostr-verse, so hard to guess what the path forward looks like. PubNostr should have more "social network" features than PubPeer, it would make it a lot more fun and useful. You need sensible comment moderation workflows, I presume I can do that running my own relay. I have no idea if it makes more sense to make PuNostr with nocomment or maybe it should be some sort of skin over ditto (I have no idea if that is even remotely possible). Should I use ZapThreads? Is there any sensible path to having support for contemporary expected features like markdown/ image attachments etc.?
If you are interested in sharing your thoughts on the best way to do this, would love to hear them.
