Quick note that it might be better for this audience to link to the code: https://github.com/Bubble-Protocol/seedling

Thanks.

A plain URL could be one of the future publishing options. Hopefully a platform like Seedling could add value through discovery and content monetisation.

I'd rather use Nostr and a client focussing on long posts :) Like https://habla.news/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

From my understanding, they're relying on GitHub for the hosting of the blog posts themselves.

So the opposite of decentralized then. Why do crypto people love inventing new middlemen to take a cut? Oh right, they’re the middleman. That’s why.

What happens if Github doesn't like the content or gets leaned on by a government agency?

Where are the actual content payloads stored?

Not OP but generally in this kind of system GitHub is just an convenient example. The payload is pointed to by on-chain state and that pointer can be both multi-valued and accommodate multiple protocols. So you can for example point to a self-hosted Gitea or similar, IPFS CID and so on, besides the LCD of Github.

It's an interesting project. I think you should mention that your contract takes a 10% cut of the tips. Also, why not let any wallet publish? Why the dependency on GitHub?

From my understanding, they're relying on GitHub for the hosting of the blog posts themselves.

But why specifically GitHub, instead of just git? Every git hosting provider could work with this model
