Absolutely fantastic. This is exciting. Looking forward to helping if possible. 💜🙏

Anyone can help, beginning immediately. Simply publish individual chapters of your favorite books as long-form/articles (using something like Habla.news or Highlighter.com or Yakihonne). Just make sure to have the title contain the name of the book, so that you can easily find them all later, to tie them together with a header note. The header is just general information about the book (author, title, etc.) and a list of notes/chapters in the reading order. Make the title something like "Anne of Green Gables: Ch 1" or whatnot. If the file is too big to process (I don't know what some relays have as limits), then it would just need to be Ch 1.1 Ch 1.2 and etc. And make sure to add wss:://thecitadel.nostr1.com to the relay list, in whichever app you use.

Ok that thing might really be huge

Damn I'm too slow. I wanted to create a wiki client after I'm finished with Voyage and I also planned to call it "Alexandria" haha. But even better if other people are doing it. I'd rather contribute to other projects than starting my own.

Well, Alexandria is a project, not merely a client. It's this collection of books. It's the Nostr library. A wiki isn't a library, it's an encyclopedia, so I feel like it fits our project better than yours. 😜 We're planning on making a client with the same name, to read and publish the books, but someone might beat us to the punch. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe you're that someone...

After all, there are already a bunch of wiki projects. Why be an also-ran, when you can be first-past-the-gate?

It would just need the ability to show 30023, 30024, 30040 and 30041 events. And maybe allow for highlighting/quoting/replying to those notes and some nice book and article navigation, and publishing 30023s and 30040s (including their linked/embedded notes) as ePub or PDF. So, if someone writes a 30040 with the metadata "title: Anne of Green Gables, author: L.M. Montgomery" and then listed 30023s and/or 30041s as content, the script would just use the 30040 as the index page required for the ePub and pull in the content of the linked articles. We're already publishing books under the new events, so anyone who build a client for it would have immediate, high-quality content and grateful users.

Still getting a blank page...

Even in Habla or are you just harrassing @PABLOF7z to get the bug fix done faster? 😂

Mleku thinks I'm bossy, so he calls me Despot Stella (that's my name) in Serbian. 😅

Bossy girls totally underrated fr fr no cap.

this is a good primer on what we're trying to do. View article →

When you recognize the level of bullshit emmiting from this note. You just gotta step back, look at it and take in all its glory.
