Nostr Web Client

#Alexandria update:

Recent work on this project has focused on extending Asciidoctor's converter to organize an AsciiDoc document into individual indices and zettels according to the Nostr Knowledge Base specification. This is now working on a basic level (though we will add additional features to this parser as the project continues), so I can turn to the editor preview.

Since this is UI-focused work, I have screenshots!

First, we have an editor area into which you can type or paste AsciiDoc content.

Clicking the eye icon shows a preview.

Hovering the mouse cursor over the preview highlights each discrete section. Each paragraph will become a kind 30041 zettel, and each section with a header will become a kind 30040 index that references the zettel events produced for the paragraphs it contains.

Images, tables, code blocks, and other entities will all be published as unique Nostr events so that they may be easily remixed and referenced in other index events.

Once the preview works, my next effort will be to write the actual upload functionality to turn Alexandria into an honest-to-goodness Nostr Knowledge Base publisher app. Stay tuned!

So the preamble (the bit beneath the = doc header and above the first == chapter header) becomes a separate field, displayed at the top of the page? Is that the summary tag?

The document title and the preamble will stay where they are in the screenshots, I think, at least for now.

For the first pass at editor functionality, I just want to be able to show how Alexandria breaks down AsciiDoc into events.

Future versions will support different editor modes where you can edit the contents or tags of individual events with in the structure, or rearrange them before publishing.

I like this default placement. Preamble should be on the top, as it is.
