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! @MichaelJ explains in our first dev blog, which you can read on Alexandria! https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=the-life-of-a-gitcitadel-work-ticket-by-michael-j-v-1

GM and happy weekend, fellow Nostriches! #GitCitadel is looking for an additional frontend developer. What we offer: * Large, fun Nostr project team, including 6 other people working actively on the various frontend repos * Serious, provable resume bling * High-quality, advanced project work to base a grant application upon * Challenging, innovative tasks and the chance to influence the feature sets, tool choices, and roadmap * Experienced and professional colleagues * Self-hosted infrastructure that is increasingly integrated with NIP-34 "git stuff" and further Nostr efforts, run by a team of DevOps engineers * Energetic, personable Product Owner What you bring: * Active, regular engagement * Willingness to work in an agile, asynchronous, international environment with multiple Kanban boards and git repos * Volunteer effort, since we currently only make enough money to cover server costs We look forward to any DMs you send to @MichaelJ 🚀

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

Bitcoin Crowdfunding for New Ideas and Humanitarian Causes | Geyser

Geyser helps people launch new Bitcoin project ideas and fund humanitarian causes worldwide, accelerating adoption through transparent crowdfunding.

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.

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

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.

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 @GitCitadel 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.

GM, fellow Nostriches. @liminal 🦠 has adjusted the zoom on the visualisation page, so that it doesn't take as long to load. You can adjust the number of events examined, in the form. @ChipTuner has renewed the website certification, so it shouldn't be throwing errors, anymore. The .com address should also soon be corrected, which will also fix our NIP-05 addresses. @Silberengel has uploaded two books from the KJV of the Bible, and the rest should be available later today or tomorrow. After that, she will begin uploading the recommendations from @Liberty Gal covering the Western Canon for homeschoolers. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/visualize

We have decided to start "showing our work", more, in public, as we've: 1) finally got the prototype to the point, that it actually does something useful, 2) managed to get the spec to a maturity, where we feel confident mass-producing events with it, 3) become annoyed with other teams obfuscating or developing in secret, and we don't want to be hypocrites, 4) really hit our stride, coordinating as a large team (8 active members, multiple additional beta-testers, and 4 suppliers -- tendency rising on all), 5) got tickets moving faster and faster across the kanban board, 6) become eager to prove that Nostr products can be stable, resilient, swift, and useful, 7) decided to change the direction the conversation is taking, and definitively prove the genius and value of decentralized relays, by showing what amazing things they make possible. 2025 is the year to do hard things, and now you can observe us doing them.

GM and a happy New Year, Nostriches. We at @GitCitadel have reached another milestone, on our way to #Alexandria v 0.1.0 (Gutenberg edition). We have printed the entire Bible using 30040/30041 notes and made them available for you to peruse, using a pre-release of our Nostr client. The books are broken down by chapter. Breakdowns by verse will be delivered with the beta release. In addition, we have printed "Jane Eyre", so that you get some idea of how quickly a full-length novel can load. We are working on making it faster, with pagination, but this is already surprisingly quick. You can't yet use the client to upload books (please use the e-book CLI, for that), and it's all a bit buggy and wonky, but we have already implemented a first pass at the Visualization page. Feel free to view the Asciidoc test data, here: https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/. You can log in with a browser extension. (We are still working on the site certificate. Please excuse the mess.)

Project #Alexandria wiki page is updated, with the latest alpha-version screenshots. Once we get to a beta version (will take a few more weeks), we'll host a public instance of Alexandria on https://gitcitadel.eu, so that you can all start uploading your books and articles. As you can see, you have quite a bit control, of what the final Nostr document looks like, by utilizing the standard Asciidoc markup, for formatting and adding metadata. Our Alexandria parser is a NKBIP-01-specific extension of the Asciidoctor parser. https://wikistr.com/gc-alexandria*dd664d5e4016433a8cd69f005ae1480804351789b59de5af06276de65633d319/nkbip-01*70122128273bdc07af9be7725fa5c4bc0fc146866bec38d44360dc4bc6cc18b9
