what does the bible on nostr actually look like to the end user?
Discussion
I don't understand the question.
Is it a bot that posts verses or some app that displays the bible using the books stored on nostr
It's the entire Bible, contained in events, split up into chapter-sections. We will also have a version of both translations, split by verse.
How do you interact with it?
Just need the Alexandria web client or (soon) Chachi, and then you can read it.
If you go to https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu then you can see which publications (books and research papers and test documents) we've already published. These are just test documents, as we're still in beta and fixing formatting of the stylesheets and etc., but we're steadily adding more publications and we'll have more-polished versions of the same items available, after release.
We've printed the King James Bible, the Douay-Rheims Bible, and some classics like Jane Eyre. I'm currently printing Mark Twain's "Joan of Arc", for nostr:nprofile1qqs82et8gqsfjcx8fl3h8e55879zr2ufdzyas6gjw6nqlp42m0y0j2sprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7km53ux, so I'll announce that, soon.
Awesome!
Here is the DRV of Genesis, for instance.
And here is the KJV
(You might have to reload the page, to see all of the chapters, as our relays are getting hammered, today. That's why we now added two more relay providers.)
It's gigantic, Daniel. I had to give up publishing it over the Internet, broke it up into two volumes, and switched it to my local relay. 😂
I'll add an index on top, linking the two volumes and see if #Alexandria throws up.
Very cool project. Looking forward to the results!
#alexandria has a similar auspicious vibe when the monks in the early to Middle Ages preserved knowledge using the latest tech - parchment, ink and the alphabet. Now it’s signed events, relays and clients.
Alexandria did fine, but my relays are just not on top of things, today. Driving me nuts.
Do you search for verses with your nostr client?
