Roadmap

Decent Newsroom is being built as a better home for publishing on Nostr.

Not just posting. Not just another feed. Publishing.

The goal is to make it easier to create, curate, publish, discover, and support high-value longform and mixed-media work on an open social substrate. We are building a strong publishing foundation first, then expanding outward.

Stronger publishing foundations

Our first priority is making Decent Newsroom a reliable publishing environment.

That includes better support for magazines, cleaner rendering, stable publication pages, improved indexing, and stronger infrastructure behind the scenes. Publications should feel dependable, readable, and easy to maintain. Writers and editors should feel that their work has a real home.

This also includes improving subdomain publications, so journals can have their own distinct web presence while staying rooted in Nostr-native content.

Better reading and editorial context

We want reading on DN to feel more intentional and more useful than a generic social feed.

That means improving how readers encounter content: what is globally relevant, what comes from people they follow, what matches their interests, and what has been deliberately curated. We are working toward a reading experience that delivers context, not just volume.

On the editorial side, we want magazines and collections to play a bigger role. Publishing should not be limited to reverse-chronological timelines. Editors should be able to shape a journal, highlight important work, and create meaningful pathways through content.

Discovery powered by collections

A major part of DN’s direction is better discovery.

We are building toward a system where collections, follow packs, interests, editorial curation, and semantic search all work together. We want to help readers find relevant work through structure, overlap, and context.

That includes improving search, recommendations, related content, curated follow packs, and more intelligent ways to surface articles and publications people are likely to care about.

Better tools for writers and publishers

Publishing needs more than a viewer. It needs tools.

We are continuing to improve the article editor, draft flows, notes, previews, and supporting infrastructure around longform creation. Over time, the goal is to give writers and publishers a smoother workflow from draft to finished publication.

This also connects to publication management: journals, collections, profiles, and content organization should become easier to maintain and more flexible over time.

The direction

Decent Newsroom is being built for people who want more than posting into the void.

It is for writers, editors, publications, and readers who want publishing to feel structured, discoverable, and worth returning to.
