i hope it happens... it's such a clear use case for nostr... books, documentation, would go nice alongside the git repo systems, they could become standard help text systems for web and other apps
Yeah, sounds like a bigger project, but something very fundamental that is great for eBooks and eMagazines.
Might be worth an nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f grant or something.

Agree. This is Nostr Core Development, IMO, like Blossom and Cashu.
i've got a new paid gig coming up soon, probably 3-4 months, and i'm reworking my nostr library and relay code, as a child i was always a library dweller and i think i could put together enough of a starting point once i'm finished with my next 4 months to dig into this library idea
the search indexing thing really implies an integrated relay/dvm/html/epub/pdf renderer stack to do this properly, and imagine piling on top of that a physical on demand book printing service that lets you do one-off hardcopy in a decent quality, i mean, like the Apocalypse of Yajnvavalkya level of quality, cheap but adequate, but all automatically rendered into a book
maybe that's a bit ambitious to add that one on top of the stack but piece by piece we could give Amazon a fit anyway
I think peak nostr-educational resource will happen when we combine modular articles with external/specialized functionality. ereader functionality is a must, but this goes soooo much further.
Ereader/book/blog functionality*
