Interest will build. Just keep working at it.
It's a really cool project but it's also clearly very early. Keep building, i.e. reference clients, specs, etc. Scientific papers (I guess that's what the Euler release is about?) will be a big use case.
Everyone is wondering why I didn't include a link (it's https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu), but this wasn't a rhetorical question. I was legit wondering why there's so little interest in the project. Seems so weird to me because it seems like a cool project.
I'm genuinely, pleasantly surprised that so many responded. 🤷♀️

Yeah, it's really early, on the road map, but we spent 6 months just doing trial-and-error on the basic data structure and backend (including relays), and tightening performance enough to make it usable enough to demo.
Will take at least 2 more years, and four minor versions (Gutenberg, Euler, Defoe, #Biblestr), to get to v1.0. And we're developing our own Nostr SDK (in C++), and working with the relay devs on the side, and we have all the infrastructure and DevOps to support this, which is its own subproject and is being successively Nostr-ized.
It's actually sort of amazing because we're a bunch of volunteers doing this in parallel to our day jobs and subsisting entirely off of crowdfunding, tips, and relay subscriptions. 😅
Whole thing is sort of insane and the grant funds have just been like no way go away, but we've kept right on grinding for over a year, and we keep gaining steam and adding members, because it's just an inspiring project that is worth building, for its own sake.
