Which e-reader are you using that has a browser? How well does it support the web?
Discussion
It’s a Kobo Aura H2O. I can browse many websites but that’s a broad question.
Maybe WebSockets aren’t supported. 🙃
this seems most likely
i guess then you have to make a webserver that does all that legwork and spits out HTML then
The library I posted was for websockets.
need to make a RESTful API for filter queries and a scheme for converting notes into HTML
How is nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 doing it with njump?
does it have a link to the web app that powers it?
lol i mean github
yes, one minute
beautiful example of the most common type of Go application, a custom webserver
a nip-05 can be written in Go with like 10 lines of code
anyhow, https://github.com/fiatjaf/njump/blob/master/go.mod here you see it uses khatru, go-nostr and nostr-sdk code, that's the "legwork" part for taking notes and making them into HTML (using templates)
if you ever got inclined to learn #golang a simple one like that, connect up to a set of relays, then accept URLs with nevent and event IDs and really it's then just a matter of writing a truncated hash scheme like i was talking about, and each event can have a 13 character base32 identifier, and for these index/section/contents pages they can then fan out to pick up the referenced articles
So our reader could download/upload everything as notes, but display them in the browser as HTML, so that they can be viewed on simpler or weaker devices?
yeah, you would need to write a html renderer, basically
a webapp on a more powerful device can do that in place but a lower spec device would need it done for it, as someone mentioned, most likely because of websockets
That explains why every other web app is just a blank screen.
for the task you have in mind, i think that the MVP is making the web app that opens at your top level curated index page, and then uses those shortened URLs and each page is rendered and cached on the web server
it would be easy to even put such a thing on umbrel or start9 also
i think it would be pretty reasonable to expect that such a project would be able to find funding... a replacement for kindle, built on nostr... with a local mini pc deployment possibility for semi-offline use that also can put highlights and annotations back upstream to share with other bookstr and biblestr relays
Yeah, sounds like a bigger project, but something very fundamental that is great for eBooks and eMagazines.
Might be worth an nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f grant or something.
i hope it happens... it's such a clear use case for nostr... books, documentation, would go nice alongside the git repo systems, they could become standard help text systems for web and other apps
Agree. This is Nostr Core Development, IMO, like Blossom and Cashu.
i've got a new paid gig coming up soon, probably 3-4 months, and i'm reworking my nostr library and relay code, as a child i was always a library dweller and i think i could put together enough of a starting point once i'm finished with my next 4 months to dig into this library idea
the search indexing thing really implies an integrated relay/dvm/html/epub/pdf renderer stack to do this properly, and imagine piling on top of that a physical on demand book printing service that lets you do one-off hardcopy in a decent quality, i mean, like the Apocalypse of Yajnvavalkya level of quality, cheap but adequate, but all automatically rendered into a book
maybe that's a bit ambitious to add that one on top of the stack but piece by piece we could give Amazon a fit anyway
I think peak nostr-educational resource will happen when we combine modular articles with external/specialized functionality. ereader functionality is a must, but this goes soooo much further.
Ereader/book/blog functionality*
Viewing articles on njump works fine.
Link plz?
Used https://w3.do/ to shorten it.
Nostrudel doesn't load.
Nostrapps loads, but is completely black, so I just clicked on something random and then it stalled.
Nostr.band doesn't load.
