First person to develop an Android-native 30040/41 reading app wins.

oof the line breaks tho

Yeah, let me go edit that... 😂🙈

Looking at everything on my cellphone helps me see. Stuff like that, since the screen is so narrow.

it may be the app though, if it's interpreting markdown but not joining lines with breaks

Nah, I had hard breaks in there and didn't notice, on the laptop screen. Fixed it.

If you want to read it on your phone, with some pretty markup, go to #Alexandria.

Citrine got crazy-fast. Downloaded all of the books I'd uploaded in like 3 seconds. Don't even know how that is possible.

books are small data... i think the bible text is like 40mb maybe

Yeah, but try to download entire books from the Internet. This is way faster.

it is the prophecy

Teach me this power.

Citrine has buttons called "Download your events", and "Show events".

Another example

An example from nostr:nprofile1qqs0u3zuhclx8szdpnpqdwwuk9t9976hcg3qsxh4kxl0s24vzndhmkqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0hk88jy 's book, that has graciously been published for Nostriches. I'm still working on the formatting, and prettying it up some more, but it's already readable and full of really great advice.

Highly recommend, for anyone with aging or disabled family and friends.

(I guess that's everyone, actually.)

The books must flow!

I legit read the whole thing. 😂

Need to add some hard-returns to the verbatim quotes. Let me do that, real quick.

Oof it looks ass on mobile. Gonna need to work on that responsive design.

Future iterations of Alexandria will improve that.

Fixed the worst of it, but I need to hide the URLs and abstract out the footnote tags. That should stop it from spilling over on the right.

Exhausted, for now. I'll fix it, tomorrow.

Hey! Is there an easy way to link to my book on Alexandria?

Can anyone add texts (eventually?)

Do they *have* to be public domain?🤔

Probably some good permaculture/homesteading. Public domain classics to be found. That might be a crowd pleaser🤔

Yeah, you can use my CLI, for now.

It doesn't have to be public domain, for technical reasons, that's just the rule for our own relay. You can upload them to most relays.

We will curate specific content on our relay, but you're welcome to use yours or even your own local relay.

Not sure I would know how to do any of that lol.

Wonder if sacred-texts.com would like to be part of this. Unlikely they've heard of Alexandria ... For now :)

It's going to be easier. We just haven't finished the uploader in the web client, yet.

Are books that are now public domain be hosted?
