Hello friends,
I've played around and successfully tested (proof of concept) a creative idea to publish community and or official news. I'm not saying we need to do this, but at least have a conversation about it. This comes to PIVX with little to no cost (a subdomain on PIVX.org or a new domain), no servers, no maintenance!
It is not a perfect solution, but it can work starting today!
PROS:
Simplified version - a custom domain points to a server where a js script then fetches the theme, site settings, images, and further collects news articles from NOSTR's decentralized servers. https://github.com/nostrband/nostrsite/
Less simplified version - NostrSites is a client-side nip-512 engine for rendering HTML pages from Nostr events using Ghost themes. It takes the engine from libnostrsite and adds all wrappers required to run it inside a browser tab and in a service-worker.
NOTE: This is a very early work in progress, lots of features are missing or partially implemented, use at your own risk.
Steps For Creators
Screenshot of what I accomplished in an evening (or two). Someone with good CSS skills can likely make it sing.

PROS:
- up and running fast
- no servers, no CMS, no maintenance
- RSS FEED!!!
- Text search
- TAG search
- content writers can be added or removed
- great looking previews when shared on all social networks and messaging apps
- no database to backup, no security issues to fix, no performance upgrades
- SEO-Friendly, proper meta tags accumulating trust signals to your own domain
- no access to html (template based but custom css and js can be added/injected)
- slower than a native website (news is fetched from each persons browser from decentralized servers)
- requires a third party, although technically can be self hosted as it is open source

Steps For Creators
- Each creator would need to set up a NOSTR account (super easy, no KYC)
- Be added as an approved creator (sharing public key)
- Follow simple guidelines so posts look consistent
