Anyone doing books on nostr yet?
Im keeping it vague on purpose.
Discussion
I saw a client for that yesterday, don't remember what It was called.
Can’t see the website the login popup won’t go away on mobile
I had same problem
Works here if you use the new nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg login connect.
Could have been, this one it posted them like articles but they had like note ids at the bottom so you could turn to different pages.
Relay tools apk has support for reading books, to write I don't of there's a client yet
What is this / how does it work?
A nostr client, you just select a relay at the top and it uses that for fetching data.
Only relay with books is the one in the screenshot.
I think nostr:nprofile1qqsd6ejdteqpvse63ntf7qz6u9yqspp4z7ymt8094urzwm0x2ceaxxgprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wghxcctwvshszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99uugqss6 is the one making the book spec and client
Would love to see the book spec. Is there a custom nip for this yet?
I think it's this one

We publish the books with Alexandria or Scriptorium, but there are other clients that can create them. I was just using Nostrudel event publisher and NAK, at the beginning, but that's more fiddly.
The books are actually on lots of relays, like Damus. They're just normal-sized events.
Here is the book "Dracula" on three different clients.
We did it the other way around, to the other "book" clients: we store the books, themselves, as events on relays, and you can export them from there to PDF, HTML, EPUB, or Asciidoc.
The export function is on the Wikistr client. It's cool because you can download books from relays to your PC or e-reader or whatever.
Here is that Jane Eyre on my Kindle mobile app and my e-paper reader:
With relay.tools, you don't even need to download, as it reads straight from the relays.
That's why I encourage people install Citrine, as it's a great local storage for their publications. Then they can read them offline.
yes and relaytools-android keeps all loaded event in memory, so if you task switch without killing it, well, it's like a big in-memory cache. profiles and relay lists are cached to disk, the rest is per relay on switch or resume.
Yeah, it's listed on the NIP repo ReadMe.md, but it's called "Publications", rather than "Books". We also use it for academic journals, blogs, etc. Or collections of books, like the Bible. We published the entire Bible on Nostr with it.
I'm currently editing the Quran, but only in English. Someone else will have to do the Arabic, as I can't read it.
Not nostr but I guess you already know: https://annas-archive.se/search ?
Many books widely available.
Yep 👍
