😂 oh man I’m so excited to see alexandria come out without being killed by arrogance. Wish you best luck
Discussion
You have it backward. Alexandria only exists because we stopped caring about what OpenSats does or thinks.
Most people let them decide what software is worth building, but we are not most people.
I don’t say you need open sats. I say you need to do not talk
That's what they're trying to do. Did you think a project of this scale would be launched in only a month? If they did what most other devs seem to have done, and launched a half-complete client and then abandon it, then it would just end up in a state of stagnation (like most clients) and become a dead fish in the water. Be patient. And arrogance? No.
Have you heard of concept of MVP?
Yes. And #gitcitadel is of of the only Dev teams that I'm aware of that actually clearly defines MVP.
Seems that way to me
You have a fiat mindset when it comes to nostr clients. Not everything has to have a "winner." Each client has it's own use case and contirbutes value, in some way, even if the project does get kicked to the curb. And are you going to make a valid point soon?
Are you working on the project?
No I'm just a nostr newb who lurks around the project profile and gives feedback and asks questions.
Who else does than ? Maybe they are better at PR than laserin
Ask nostr:nprofile1qqsd6ejdteqpvse63ntf7qz6u9yqspp4z7ymt8094urzwm0x2ceaxxgprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qguwaehxw309a6xsetrd96xzer9dshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309amksetpwshxsctswpuhgctkv4exutnrduhsllhkv3🙄! And she is doing just fine, imo. She's just trying to find people who don't suffer from Primal dev indoctrination and who genuinely care and are interested in the project.
😮💨... ok, you still haven't made any good points. It's clear that you're scared to admit you're wrong. That's fine. We're all guilty of that from time to time. And your throwing many contradictory statements around. You said that you want to see the completed project and that you hold some interest, but you haven't asked any questions to anyone on the team or offered any support. So...
I will stand proven wron when I can use Alexandria, disliking laserins takes or communications is not a mater of write or wrong. I just dislike it
This beef started because about a year ago I asked about the project
🙄you've been holding this grudge for a year?
This spanned over three convos or so, as I do not mute or block people (only nazis) i see her posts if someone i follow repost it. I can’t refrain from commenting when it’s extra self indulging
My teenage kids don't even act this petty. Other than that, I have nothing else for you. Good day.
Btw, you realize that this shitshow started with me asking if laserin reapplied to opensats (which is clearly a tease) it came after someone else saying “I’m happy for your future opensats funding” (with is clearly a tease) there is a running joke about people who get proposals rejected once and are complaining instead of restructuring and reapplying. So not only laserin fell for a tease but two of you fell for it too :) this is Nostr, but this is still the internet. Beware
Your attempt to discourage the team is a waste.
Honestly if you are so confident about your ability to deliver why do you talk about the project publicly? Aren’t you spending time to respond to haters like me instead of working on your goal?
Why not talk about it publicly🤨?
Because it’s a talk not a walk
Talking about future goals secretes dopamine and trick your brain into believing you achieved the goal already
Also, because whenever I see laserins post it sounds exactly like “start up “ that never get to working prototype
Because she doesn't realize I'm not the client dev. There are 8 people working on the project. It is, as far as I know, now the largest Nostr project team, and it's actually three main projects (Alexandria, Aedile, and GitRepublic) and some additional supporting projects and libraries.
Can you explain Aedile a bit🤔? I've been focusing more on Alexandria updates.
Sure! I'm in charge of marketing, documentation, and customer support, so feel free to pepper me with questions, like an LLM. Lots of lurkers are reading, and they're often also interested in the answers.
Aedile is a SDK (software development kit) for Nostr. A programming library, with which you can build Nostr clients. We originally built Alexandria with the SDK that many other projects are using (called the "NDK"), but we're going back and writing our own, in a programming language called C++. Some of our lower-level libraries (such as noscrypt) are written in straight C, which is as low-level as you can get, without delving into Assembler.
The next version of Alexandria will have some of the NDK stuff swapped out for Aedile stuff. That won't be visible, on the outside, but it will stabilize everything and make it a bit faster. It also allows us to quickly and independently implement our new event types.
Awesome! Thank you!
New event "types"?
The e-books in Alexandria are kind 30040/30041. Then there is kind 1987, for vector embeddings (we need those the LLM implementation and the Visualization development). We have some additional kinds coming up in the Euler edition, focusing on source references.
Ok! I think I get it, for the most part. Can you explain kind 1987 a bit further, though?
It's a way of measuring the similarity between objects, such as two long-form articles, by converting the content into numbers and then plotting them on a diagram. Closer objects are more-similar than objects that are further apart.
Vector embeddings are lists of those calculated numbers.
To add to what nostr:nprofile1qqs06gywary09qmcp2249ztwfq3ue8wxhl2yyp3c39thzp55plvj0sgprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qguwaehxw309a6xsetrd96xzer9dshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309amksetpwshxsctswpuhgctkv4exutnrduhsw0qlr4 said, Aedile is intended to be a fast, efficient, and stable set of code that other developers can use to bootstrap Nostr apps.
There are a few things every Nostr clients needs to do, like connect to relays, handle user login, sign events, publish them, and search. We aim to make Aedile the best at all of those so it can be a firm foundation for future Nostr apps.
So... is there a version of this being planned for people who aren't devs? Like a simplistic version for everyday people to use to make their own client?
We've thought about it. It's a rather tricky problem to solve; it's hard to make build-your-own software without the end user knowing how to write some code.
We may try something like that for Nostr, but it's beyond the foreseeable future for our team, at the moment.
Are the other 7 people talking about the projects?
A few things I've noticed. You can't come up with any justifiable reasons to dislike their project. That is clear as day. You definitely hopped on the Primal dev indoctrination train that taught you to dislike anything she's involved in, which is OK. You do you! 🙄they are a start-up, and I doubt they'll be stuck in that stage forever. Progress takes time. 🤣I have no idea why you believe secreting dopamine is, at all, relevant to the topic at hand. This just further proves my first point. Perhaps, the comment I made earlier can grant you some much-needed perspective, because I feel as if you're using nostr for a counterproductive purpose.
I love the project. And I am looking forward to use it. I hate. Actually despise laserins attitude about nostr and devs. It makes me loose any trust in (at least her) ability to deliver. I will stand proved wrong once I get to use it
You should read this. You've been barking up the wrong tree.
Also, for a record, first time I interacted with laserin is at least a year ago, she has not responded to my good faith questions without acting as if i’m attacking her, so yes, I started attacking her. I use primal but I think it’s pathetically underdeveloped for being the best funded project
