I know everyone is wondering why I keep working on stuff when I am one of the very few devs who isn't paid to be here and whose stuff never gets promoted by the bigger npubs and that basically nobody has ever heard of and hardly anyone even uses. I don't really have an answer. I also constantly question my own sanity. Where is your self esteem, girl? They don't want you around. You have cooties. Like, take a hint. Geez. All of the popular people think you are totally uncool and your ideas are stupid. (Well, if they knew your ideas, they would think they are stupid. Ideas can catch cooties.) I know. I know. But I need to go update my relay, so I'll have to think about it... later. image

I think Alexandria is cool but I just haven't studied it yet. I'm glad you're here! You came up in search results when I was using AI to research some nostr stuff the other day. That was kinda cool :)
Alexandria is one of the only projects I regularly think about and promote to others who aren't nostrified yet. They don't quite yet know that they need it. Keep building it. One day, soon it seems, the enshittification of the legacy systems may make Alexandria a much more popular project.
That's because we launched v0.1 (the MVP) and then went radio-silent because we are now completely overhauling the backend _and_ the frontend for v0.2, and doing some big data migrations. @cloud fodder @semisol @ChipTuner @Nusa @MichaelJ and I are really busy. And we had to spent real money on compute, which is always painful. 🙈 The 0.1 is at https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/. Once we get the 0.2.1 out, I'll make an announcement. It's going to be a very different experience. Much more focused on reading, exploring, curating, and downloading books and other publications. And there will be way more books in there. 🚀 (Also, we have incorporated, which took some time, but was low-key, totally exciting. 😊)
Ah, a fellow crazy person. 🤝 R&D is a bit like art. Sometimes, you're simply a mad scientist, tinkering away in your basement. I suppose it looks odd, to people who aren't internally motivated, but it's like I have an inner locomotive and an endless supply of fuel...
It’s not you, it’s just that I’m not into web clients. 💔
We're working on revamping the https://gitcitadel.com/ project homepage and turning it into a real LLC homepage, but that'll be announced when it is finished. We're going to be using the #DecentNewsroom technology from @Nusa for that, which is a bit exciting. 🤩 #NostrCMS for a real company website. 🚀
Am not knowledgeable enough about your dev work, but I appreciate many of the ideas you post on Nostr 🤩 Keep going!
