A portable website with Nostr at the edges

How Jelm treats the website as the canonical home while using Nostr and Blossom for identity, syndication, and media durability.

The website should remain ordinary web infrastructure: readable HTML, stable URLs, RSS, metadata, and assets that load without a special client.

Nostr fits better as an integration layer. It can carry identity, syndication, replies, boosts, and discovery without making the site itself dependent on one protocol or hosting model.

The current model

  • jelm.nl is the canonical source for pages and notes.
  • jelm@jelm.nl is the main identity.
  • weaver@jelm.nl is the maker identity for independent experiments.
  • Notes can be syndicated to Nostr as long-form events after they exist on the web.
  • Blossom can mirror media using content hashes while the website serves optimized local assets.

This keeps the site easy to read, easy to index, and easy to move.
