Opens up an entire sector for magazine and book readers.
nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc was talking about a reading apps like Readwise, but you could also make something to rate books like Goodreads, or to write and publish books like Adobe, or an ePaper viewer for Nostr 30023/30040 notes, so that someone could download the note and all of the first and second-level links or embedded items to their cache or local relay/database, to view them offline. Of course, eMagazines and eNewspapers. Etc.
Yep, text-based media is so perfect for these offline use cases since the cost of downloading annex-stuff is relatively low.
Seems like the soft- and hardware (nostr:npub1a00wj229auzjswlq4s77y4u8eqdx5k9ppatgl8rtv8va65f6mwksum9q3h ) are coming together for a pretty great homeschool experience for my kids 🤩 .
I would also just be grateful to have my Nostr reading move to ePaper. The screens are going to make me blind, but I can't print everything out.
I could imagine a homeschool curriculum that uses the original sources integrated into the actual curriculum.
Another thing that would be fun would be an online book club, as that could be both synchronous (daily reading) and asynchronous. Someone who was reading the book could just click on some often-highlighted passage and join the conversation, even if it were a year later. The people in the convo would get tagged and maybe drop by to chat and their own followers would see their reply and maybe wander over and read the passage, too.
I'm planning on doing that, with "The Rhetoric". I'm going to print the entire book as 30040/30041 and then go back, link to bits of it from articles, and add commentary, week by week. And then I'll take all of the articles, at the end, and bind them into a new 30040 collection "Laeserin reads The Rhetoric". And everyone can interact with that or print it out as an ePub and read it later.
