I would love that. rn Iβm using storygraph which is better than good reads but would love something nostr
I don't know much about it, that's on me and time constraints, but nostr:nprofile1qqsd6ejdteqpvse63ntf7qz6u9yqspp4z7ymt8094urzwm0x2ceaxxgprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qguwaehxw309a6xsetrd96xzer9dshxummnw3erztnrdakj7tda7nt nostr:nprofile1qqsdcnxssmxheed3sv4d7n7azggj3xyq6tr799dukrngfsq6emnhcpspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qguwaehxw309a6xsetrd96xzer9dshxummnw3erztnrdakj7r43ctl and others are working on a solution that could fill this need.
Yeah, of course. That's the Defoe version of #Alexandria, after Gutenberg and Euler.
For now, the books are just published as events, but all of the book club and scheduled reading and etc. stuff is coming later. We're doing the scientific research paper stuff like annotations and citations and LaTeX publishing first.
There are actually three implementations of the e-reader events: Alexandria from us at nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz, Chachi from nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg, and the Flutter library from nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q. The fourth is coming #thoon. We're working on an HTTP API for relays that allows the events to be read on e-paper, like a Kindle.
Here is nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc's book, 21 Lessons, over plain-ole websockets.

I use Alexandria to publish my blog, so you can see what I've written about it, here.

Working on rendering 30040s on web too:
Will start with a simple site for my own #ZaplabDesign documentation, that just points to one 30040 event on my relay(s).
Yeah, it's a nice sort of folder for project docs.
I'm not dev enough (yet) to truly understand the needs of the docs use case, beside my own.
If I look at nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr's docs:
https://hzrd149.github.io/applesauce/typedoc/modules/applesauce_accounts.html
I don't know how to provide those "tag" and wiki-like features yet.
The difference to GoodReads is that you can refer to books elsewhere, with Alexandria, but we're also going to me mass-migrating all of the open-source libraries from Harvard and Cambridge, and etc. onto the relays. So, those books and scientific papers will reside on Nostr, directly.
Should be a few million publications, once we're done, and then people can upload more themselves. We're working on changing the reading direction to allow for other languages. Not everything is top-to-bottom/left-to-right, after all, like manga.
I've been thinking about this, how can we have decentralised archive of all the books ever written? How ever contradictory they are to the mainstream narrative. I would like to have such a copy, looking at AI responses it's all mainstream propaganda coming back. Thoughts?
Decentralised Goodreads is a great idea!
Library card + Libby is a pretty good start for individual access online.
Iβd imagine for anyone looking for access to data theyβd have to find a library or multiple thatβs willing to publish all their book data in public.
Anna's Archive is already doing this .. archiving books and papers.

At its heart Goodreads is a book matching algorithm and any service aiming to be the new Goodreads on or off Nostr must have solid tech running it. I love the book pic btw I'm going to steal it xo
Our Librarian Recommender algo, Librarian Brain and patent-pending book matching method makes book discovery even greater
and Snowden is a traitor.
Good read
I wanna read your entire library!
