It requires all of
yq,jq, andnakto be installed.Usage
Create a signed Nostr event and print it to the console:
markdown_to_nostr.sh article-filename.mdCreate a Nostr event and publish it to one or more relays:
markdown_to_nostr.sh article-filename.md ws://localhost:7777 wss://nostr.kosmos.orgMarkdown format
You can specify your metadata as YAML in a Front Matter header. Here's an example file:
```md
title: "Good Morning" summary: "It's a beautiful day" image: https://example.com/i/beautiful-day.jpg date: 2025-04-24T15:00:00Z tags: gm, poetry published: false
In the blue sky just a few specks of gray
In the evening of a beautiful day
Though last night it rained and more rain on the way
And that more rain is needed 'twould be fair to say.— Francis Duggan ```
The metadata keys are mostly self-explanatory. Note:
- All keys except for
titleare optional date, if present, will be set as thepublished_atdate.- If
publishedis set totrue, it will publish a kind 30023 event, otherwise a kind 30024 (draft) - The
dtag (widely used as URL slug for the article) will be the filename without the.mdextension
