I just discovered a kind 30023 long-form article via Alexandria's topical search, skimmed it within Alexandria, and then microblogged about it, also from within Alexandria.
It's starting to become a complete Nostr app, y'all.

We can now:
* write any event,
* clone any event,
* replace any event,
* read any event,
* find any event,
* comment on any event,
* and see any events comment threads and highlights.
* And we have notifications and public messaging.
And it all really works.
Now, we just have to make this all neater, more user-friendly, prettier on mobile, etc.
Why did we do this?
Why go through all of this trouble, to be more universal?
#Alexandria is a library.
I.e. it is an organized and catalogued set of informative data. Data on Nostr comes in all kinds. A library needs to be able to manage *everything*.
It can all be navigated. It can all be searched. It can all be documented and viewed. You can keep records. You can discuss. You can take notes. You can highlight important bits and scribble comments in the margins. You can export and transfer and convert and download and copy.
Every community (hosted instance) defines the scope of its set, through the definition of the community relays. Right now, that is hardcoded, but we will be working on a #communikeys solution. That's why we created the new nostr:npub1229y50ruvq9hjdxsjknh43gq4n9ef7h3h5hc4ezzrkg0q7kgg0tsv9a402 npub. That npub will list its preferred relays in the NIP-05, and that will then apply to the entire community. That npub's preferences will define the community's preferences.
Every individual member of the community can:
* expand that relay/data set, with their inboxes,
* or contract that set, by blocking particular relays (kind 10006).
That means, if your community's Alex website is taken down, you can use
* any other Alex website,
* or any website that displays publications (like the new Habla or Njump),
* or the upcoming Alex Notepad native app.
Alexandria is already the best place to meander through the events, like walking along shelves in a library, but we _still_ haven't finished the Gutenberg version. This is not even the MVP, yet.
Euler version is gonna knock everyone's socks off. And then comes Defoe. And then comes #biblestr.
And then we all faint from exhaustion. 😅
And, yes, we're going after #Obsidian.
Let's bring those notes to Nostr.
:AirQuoteLeft: just :AirQuoteRight: have to make it prettier and work on mobile, hehe :winkwithtongue:
I have a dev for that. 😎

And, after that, we can *finally* get our newsroom up. The GitCitadel.com homepage is so neglected 🥹. But it will soon be so nice. 😊
