We have decided to start "showing our work", more, in public, as we've:

1) finally got the prototype to the point, that it actually does something useful,

2) managed to get the spec to a maturity, where we feel confident mass-producing events with it,

3) become annoyed with other teams obfuscating or developing in secret, and we don't want to be hypocrites,

4) really hit our stride, coordinating as a large team (8 active members, multiple additional beta-testers, and 4 suppliers -- tendency rising on all),

5) got tickets moving faster and faster across the kanban board,

6) become eager to prove that Nostr products can be stable, resilient, swift, and useful,

7) decided to change the direction the conversation is taking, and definitively prove the genius and value of decentralized relays, by showing what amazing things they make possible.

2025 is the year to do hard things, and now you can observe us doing them.

Where can we see your work?

Yeah. 😕 Been fighting that for days. Driving us all nuts.

this shit was why i finally bought a TLS certificate and modded my reverse proxy to let me fan out connections from it to wherever (mostly within the VPS, but also in my VPN)

https://github.com/mleku/realy/tree/dev/cmd/lerproxy

with that you can do it using lerproxy if you have a wildcard enabled to let you do subdomains, but i found that letsencrypt were really stingy with me adding new ones to the point where i was getting certificate errors like this that broke my stuff, so i paid some 90 or so to get a full year TLS wildcard certificate for mleku.dev and never see this problem anymore... i had to modify the reverse proxy to enable the use of custom domains though, it's not difficult to configure, just an environment variable with a comma separated list that specifies names to search for certificates

just should point out that if you can fan out things into paths you get around this problem, letsencrypt is not that bad if you are just using a fixed domain name

That's true. Maybe we should just restructure.

i have no idea what servers you have running but i think subpaths is something my proxy doesn't do, i could be wrong... that would be a useful feature

yeah, i'm gonna add this feature tho, damn

i wanted to make a rewriter at one point but this should be a lot easier

Yeah we can purchase a cert from our provider if we want to. Or we can move away from the wildcard cert.

Looks pretty cool though when I go past that

Thanks! We'll fix the SSL certificate soon enough.

It's still in the very early stages, but we want to show our work in the open, so we'll continue to push updates to the `next-alexandria` URL as soon as they are ready. The main `alexandria.gitcitadel.eu` address (which isn't active yet) will host a stable version.

If you would like to support our project, there are three main paths:
