GM,
We now have a library 📚 download page. It includes a low-bandwidth reader for publications and longform articles. Everything is read from relays, directly. The website is clean HTML, so that it works efficiently on e-paper readers.
You can download the appropriate files from the reader's Internet browser, or read directly from the website.

Good evening, Nostr.
The #Alexandria publishing app has been spruced up a bit. The Getting Started page, About page, and Contact page were updated. The universal event publisher got a bug-fix. Musical ABC notation is now rendered and highlights and comments are visible in the reading view.
We have increased the number of publication-indexes fetched to 10k, but we're already fast approaching that number. Keep the books coming! ☺

We are actively working on both the #GitRepublic 🛡server and the #Alexandria landscape
(Alex 📖, Wikistr 🔍, Jumble 🌲).
What we have accomplished, in the last month:
- @npub1qdj…fqm7 updated the server status page and revamped the build system. He has defined the Nostr-AUTH scheme for the git server and figured out a maximally-simple and smooth method for implementing it.
- @npub1636…qpl4 revamped the style sheets and menus, giving Alex a more unified and modern look and feel.
- @npub1m3x…a5sf added comments and highlights to publications and a progress bar to publishing.
- @npub1l5s…gx9z and @npub1wqf…qsyn completed Phase 1 of the reading view and ToC revamp. (Michael will be completing Phase 2, as it's a bit more advanced.)
- @npub1l5s…gx9z implemented publication viewing and book-wikilinks in Jumble Imwald and Wikistr Imwald.
- @npub1l5s…gx9z implemented citation publishing and embedding in Jumble.
- @npub1l5s…gx9z added a download menu to Wikistr, so that publications can be exported to ADOC, HTML, EPUB, and PDF format.
- @npub1fjq…leku brought us the ability to define event-level rules in #Orly 🦉 relay and delivered some bug-fixes.
- @npub10np…tl5h expanded the Relay Tools native Android app to handle publications and discussions.
- @npub1226…grkj honed the aggregator and search relays, which have been implemented in all clients as defaults.
We're all still here, we're all still shipping. 🚀

GM Nostr,
We've been working on a number of projects, in the background, including a Nostr-based git HTTP server, and we've been considering our pricing model for them. We have received enough donations to reserve the git server, and @npub1qdj…fqm7 and @npub1ecd…s735 are going to be launching the beta version of that #thoon. We are excited to use it, ourselves, as it's frustrating fighting other login methods. Nostr is simply less friction.
We are aiming for a base storage of 1 GB for an organization (the owner npub and the collaborator npubs it invites), with additional storage purchasable. 1 GB is more than most dev teams use, and we want to keep our running costs low. If it turns out to be too little, we will increase the baseline. It will be bundled together with a media and blossom server, and a subscription to theforest (we will credit you anything you have paid for theforest), as well as access to our other inhouse systems.
This is also just a fun way and easy way to help support our efforts, and to make sure your support requests get faster responses. The subscribers will be invited to help us Design Think our systems and applications. *We build with you and for you!*
We are also negotiating group discounts from other service providers, which will be offered to anyone on our NIP-05 list.
We will be controlling access to those servers, and to the other functionality we have planned, over the https://gitcitadel.nostr1.com relay and the gitcitadel.com NIP-05 list. That is a read-protected relay, unlike https://theforest.nostr1.com, and any Gitcitadel team members you see on there have paid for the access, themselves.
@npub1m4n…c2jl is the first user. 🙂

Good evening, fellow Nostriches.
We at #GitCitadel are proud to announce that #Alexandria has basically stayed the same, despite our making major changes under the hood. 🎉
You might notice a slight difference, when loading large publications. It now loads as you scroll down the page, rather than loading all at once. This means that you can load really large and deep publications without your browser freezing up.
This was a major change in the architecture, by our Product Owner and lead Alex developer, @npub1wqf…qsyn, and was a prerequisite to a number of other changes. Development should move more quickly, now. Thank you for your patience.

Yes, @npub1qdj…fqm7 is already working on setting it up. At the moment, we're calculating running costs at 3750 sats/month, but we're trying to raise donations, to get that down to 500 sats/month, for a reliable, public git server with Nostr-based authorization and notifications.

Hello, fellow Nostriches.
We at #GitCitadel have spent this week pricing out remote servers and brainstorming; considering the most cost-effective, but still performant, way to implement a public #gitserver based upon Nostr. In order to help us front the rental fees and lower the price to individual npubs, we have begun a new https://Geyser.fund goal.
The resulting server will have multiple #gnostr implementations and tools on it. We are planning to begin with:
* the #GitRepublic API, that will make it possible to log in to git with your Nostr signer, and will trade out e-mail communication with Nostr notes,
* an HTTP-based git server (the first thing that will be going online, so that everyone can move or mirror their repos),
* a paid AUTH relay https://gitcitadel.nostr1.com (currently 5000 sats/month, to cover all the running costs, but we hope to bring that down dramatically, due to your donations),
* an #Alexandria instance focused on technical documentation and styled for the dev users,
* and an instance of https://GitWorkshop.dev that displays the repos on the server.
It's difficult to compete with a "free" public service, like GitHub or Codeberg, but we're hoping that tighter integration with Nostr will add some value to the developers using it, and for the public interested in browsing the PoW stored on it. Through the integration of Nostr and Lightning, we are leaning into the comfortable, Nostrized, friction-free logins, and will facilitate V4V payments for Nostr's hard-working devs.
Many thanks in advance.
And may you have a good morning.
https://image.nostr.build/6ae0194b1156b66220024c67e5e822fde6d7d27503b4873efa3fc5f912c47f44.png

2025-03-20 19:53:57 UTC

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 @npub1der…xzpc's book, below.)
https://image.nostr.build/0fba9c50c6f155a5fcad0f9259ff27339b260ef8b6f583a9f9498f30970c02ea.png
This allows for publisher and author to share in the credit and the zaps, and to both be notified of interactions with the index.
https://image.nostr.build/88ba49e743f87fb893f430a07d089e1aa8109b3137dcbd562ef3dc0c17acb207.png

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.
https://image.nostr.build/81bb15d3468f11e57627b12571756e2528e48d2b50c42bf1bb1b9e2823546365.png

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!

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 @npub10np…tl5h 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,
@npub1s3h…75wz

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 @nprofile…ujaz 🚀

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.

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.
https://i.nostr.build/Cn5xT27j6TEyMgmz.png
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".
https://i.nostr.build/SOf8jJNJ6xCDbGFD.png
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.
https://i.nostr.build/BZCsSUpu4y1gduWS.png
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.

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
@nprofile…vd7t 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.

Good morning, fellow Nostriches,
#Alexandria is now fully-compatible with NIP-62. That means that you can use the previous "e" tags or the new "a" tags (but you cannot mix both in one publication).
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1600

2025-01-11 02:39:49 UTC

#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.

The client-default relay is wss://thecitadel.nostr1.com

GM, fellow Nostriches.
@npub1m3x…a5sf 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.
@npub1qdj…fqm7 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.
@npub1l5s…gx9z 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 @npub1356…805u covering the Western Canon for homeschoolers.

2025-01-04 13:15:53 UTC

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 @npub1s3h…75wz 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.
