Hello. We have a new feature implemented, in #Alexandria, which might interest some of you.
We have revamped and expanded the index card menu. You now have the ability to display publication details (index metadata) on the cards, including book summaries, ISBNs, and links to the npub profile pages of the publishing npub and the author. (If the author has a npub and is referenced in the 'p' tag, as with nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc's book, below.)
This allows for publisher and author to share in the credit and the zaps, and to both be notified of interactions with the index.
You also have the ability to open an original URL-source of the publication (usually to a web page, PDF, LaTeX file etc.), even if the publication is also available in event form. Currently, it opens outside the app.
This opens up Alexandria to being a true library catalog of all publications, even those under copyright or where there is no digital version readily available. They can be referenced and interacted with, through the index cards, in a manner similar to GoodReads or other "book review" sites.
This will become more apparent, once we add things like kind 1111 comments, to the index events. For now, we're still revamping the parser and the table of contents, but they should be replaced #thoon. Thank you for your patience and support, while we rebuild, and may you have a good evening.
Happy reading!

We are happy to assist, nostr:npub1p4kg8zxukpym3h20erfa3samj00rm2gt4q5wfuyu3tg0x3jg3gesvncxf8 .
Our team is hard at work on the latest round of user stories for project #alexandria.
What is a user story? We're glad you asked!
nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn explains in our first dev blog, which you can read on Alexandria!
nostr:npub1l5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqstegx9z gave me a good link to a text with side-by-side the text in portuguese and english , i also put the portuguese and latin Pai Nosso in the back of my KJV so i can refer to it and memorise it
there didn't seem to be a mass book thing as there is in some churches, but i have a version i can follow now
the warm sunshine over the mountain as i left was so perfect... also the thing of shaking hands with my neighbours, some of who were literally my actual neighbours... it was very nice
i get what it's about now and how it is so fundamental to the social fabric here
The best thing to do, is to introduce yourself to the priest. They often have groups for new members, to learn the background information. They call it RCIA, in America.
If you are using #Alexandria and would like to submit an issue, please note that our GitHub account is only a mirror to our OneDev git-server, and we do not accept issues there.
Issues are to be submitted to our #GitWorkshop instance, which uses NIP-34 "gitstuff".
We are also working on accepting patches over GitWorkshop.
Good evening,
As a project that is run by Nostriches for Nostriches, we at #GitCitadel are proud of our humble, zap-based financing, especially over our Geyserfund (https://geyser.fund/project/gitcitadel). It's been mildly painful, and we've had to learn to pinch each sat until it cries for mercy. But it has definitely been the right source of funding for a project in this incubation stage, where we tentatively brood and hatch out our first baby, Project #Alexandria.
HOWEVER,
we regularly receive questions about how we plan on having a more sustainable source of funding, and one of our main ideas, is to cover the costs of our relays with a relay subscription that nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h is managing for us. The current subscription of 300 sats/month (which some of you have been grandfathered into), will get you write-access to the relay. It is a great help for us, if you actively subscribe to wss://theforest.nostr1.com in your client, and include it in your outboxes and inboxes.
This access will become interesting soon, once the publishing feature is opened up, and even more interesting, once we get comments, highlights etc. going. Alexandria is a community-first client, and theforest is our community relay for the https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu instance, so anything written to that relay will receive pride-of-place in the client. Because we know and trust our own community members, we're displaying "the full global", so this relay is a great way to immediately make contact with other npubs, even if you are new to Nostr.
We are also working on the ability to offer premium relay subscriptions, and we'll announce those, once we get the features going that they will unlock.
Yours truly,
nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz

GM Nostr! ☀️
A big THANK YOU, to everyone who volunteered to help us beta-test. The developers are excited, that so many of you are actively supporting them and interested in reviewing their work. Also, another THANK YOU, to everyone who is following and contributing to us on https://Geyser.fund. You have managed to push us into the top spot on the Geyser front-page!
Without funding, big npub promoters, or other "official Nostr" support, it's sometimes been hard to keep going and stay motivated. But you guys just gave us a big burst of energy, to continue our grassroots development, against all odds.
We will now commence developing even harder.
We are planning a bug hunt.
Everyone who doesn't like us, this is your chance to tell us how incompetent we are.
Everyone who does like us, it's also your chance to tell us how incompetent we are.
Everyone is a winner. Sign up here. 👇
Good morning, fellow Nostriches!
We at #GitCitadel have got some updates for you, today, as we do every week. We've:
* fixed some bugs and performance issues in #Alexandria and sped it all up a bit,
* corrected and expanded the Visualization page,
* and we've soon got a rudimentary Claude AI integration available for you. (You can follow the progress of that integration on the GitHub PR https://github.com/ShadowySupercode/gc-alexandria/pull/16 .)
In other news, this week was Move Everything Somewhere Else Week, and we've got an article describing the process, the results, and our next DevOps steps.
Enjoy the read and have a nice Sunday!

Good evening, Nostriches.
We are glad to inform you, that we have gotten some of our formatting fixed and added some small features.
Here you can see, how we have added a horizontal scroll bar to verbatim quote fields. This doesn't completely solve the left-margin problem, on mobile, but it keeps the information from running off the page.
We have added the ability to view the version/edition on the index card, if it is available. If the author tag is not available, we complete the field with "unknown".
Here you can see two formatting changes:
1. The hyperlinks are now underlined.
2. We have begun implementing type-driven formatting. For "type" tag filled with the word "book" (our default), the first capital letter of every chapter is enlarged. For all other types (such as here, with type="research"), that is not the case.
In other good news, we are delighted to have a second, experienced, full-stack developer. He will be focusing on frontend development, intelligent parsing for uploads, and maintenance/bug-fixing. We hope he will free up our main developer for more performance-enhancing improvements.
We have also moved our project documentation and a collection of our favorite articles to #Alexandria.
https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=the-gitcitadel-blog-by-stella-v-1
As always, please excuse our busy construction site and we wish you happy reading.
Thank you for the zaps, especially those on Geyser Fund.
It's nice to know, that someone finds value in our efforts.
GM Nostriches,
We have now:
* printed Bram Stoker's "Dracula" https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=dracula-by-bram-stoker-v-1
* we corrected the left-margin problem in the books (but not yet in the research paper),
* we have made #Alexandria logins more persistent and added a logout button,
* and we have begun a NIP repo PR for storing and documenting citations and references in academic works.
We can only publish books that are out of copyright, or where the author has explicitly granted permission.
Good evening, Nostriches.
We have fixed the njump button on the #Alexandria index card, to go to the naddr of the publication event. And we have printed a 2-level publication (one nested 30040-level, containing both volumes 1 and 2) called
"Personal Recollections from Joan Arc" from Mark Twain
Happy reading! 🙂
Good evening, Nostriches.
We have printed the entire KJV of the Bible, as individual books separated by chapter, using the new NIP-62 structure. We have made a first pass at gathering them into nested index events. This is the first "Five Books of Moses", also referred to as the "Pentateuch" or the "Torah".
https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=the-pentateuch-by-cambridge-v-king-james-version
nostr:nprofile1qqsggm4l0xs23qfjwnkfwf6fqcs66s3lz637gaxhl4nwd2vtle8rnfqprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qfqwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx26tww4hxg7nhv9h856t89eehqctrv5hsz8rhwden5te0w35x2cmfw3skgetv9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsjmvd7t will continue to add layers of nested 30040s, until we have the entire Bible together, honing the performance and functionality of #Alexandria along the way.
And then we will break the entire thing down, further, into a new version, separated into individual verses. Of which there are over 30k.
nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz do you have an example of a NIP-62 publication with nested 30040 indexes? Thanks in advance!
nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg here is a better one. The other events were a bit wonky. Includes the two Asciidoc-rendering test events.

#Alexandria Next update!
This one adds proper support for user sign-in.
Currently, we only support sign-in via a NIP-07 browser extension. There's a button that appears when you hover over the user profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
Once the sign-in is complete, a few things happen:
- Your profile photo appears in the user profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Hovering over your profile photo reveals your username and your display name.
- Your inbox and outbox relay lists are read by the app to be used later.
When you've signed in, you'll also notice a new drop-down menu appears at the top of the home page feed. This lets you switch between viewing publications on Alexandria's default relay (wss://thecitadel.nostr1.com) or on your personal relay list.
Additionally, to reduce load times, Alexandria loads only 16 publications at a time. A "show more" button at the bottom will tell the app to go get the next 16. Right now, it's possible to get to the end of the feed, but that will quickly change as more publications are uploaded to the relays!
As always, you can try out these latest features at https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu.
Of course.
It's the second implementation of NIP-62 for curated publications.
