Nostr Web Client

For the Biblestr implementation, we will be printing additional editions. For Alexandria-Gutenberg we're just have the two translations: KJV and DRV.

KJV is OG.

That's fine.

once the protocol is built, you can do all the things tho

Speaking of which, get a chance to work on the 30040s on realy?

I'm working on the HTML parsing for the Project Gutenberg scraper.

i'm focusing

perhaps you can write a simple thing that verifies that a relay stored and retrieves such an event? i don't need much breadcrumbs to get it

i'm refactoring the whole database btw... so i can more easily put it into my code, the problem i ran into this morning was i was using closures inside functions that were maknig locks and i didn't really need that to be there, or more exactly, it stopped me from calling functions within functions, because of the locks

Just use the Nostrudel event console for 30040. Put your relay in the top field.

what does the bible on nostr actually look like to the end user?

I don't understand the question.

Is it a bot that posts verses or some app that displays the bible using the books stored on nostr

It's the entire Bible, contained in events, split up into chapter-sections. We will also have a version of both translations, split by verse.

How do you interact with it?

Just need the Alexandria web client or (soon) Chachi, and then you can read it.

If you go to https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu then you can see which publications (books and research papers and test documents) we've already published. These are just test documents, as we're still in beta and fixing formatting of the stylesheets and etc., but we're steadily adding more publications and we'll have more-polished versions of the same items available, after release.

We've printed the King James Bible, the Douay-Rheims Bible, and some classics like Jane Eyre. I'm currently printing Mark Twain's "Joan of Arc", for nostr:nprofile1qqs82et8gqsfjcx8fl3h8e55879zr2ufdzyas6gjw6nqlp42m0y0j2sprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7km53ux, so I'll announce that, soon.

Awesome!

Here is the DRV of Genesis, for instance.

And here is the KJV

(You might have to reload the page, to see all of the chapters, as our relays are getting hammered, today. That's why we now added two more relay providers.)

this is awesome but the way the verse numbers float above the scrim at the top is quite funny

Yeah, one of many Svelte bugs. 😂

It's gigantic, Daniel. I had to give up publishing it over the Internet, broke it up into two volumes, and switched it to my local relay. 😂

I'll add an index on top, linking the two volumes and see if #Alexandria throws up.

Very cool project. Looking forward to the results!

#alexandria has a similar auspicious vibe when the monks in the early to Middle Ages preserved knowledge using the latest tech - parchment, ink and the alphabet. Now it’s signed events, relays and clients.

Alexandria did fine, but my relays are just not on top of things, today. Driving me nuts.

Do you search for verses with your nostr client?

You didn't even look at the website.

We printed the DRV, first. And, no that isn't the project. That's performance test data for the project.
