Good evening, Nostriches. We have rolled out the next alpha version of #Alexandria, for your testing fun: Gutenberg v0.0.3 As always, you may use the main Alex instance for productive use. We are now truly feature-complete and will continue to work on hardening and maturing what we have, on our march toward the MVP release. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/

GM Nostr 😊 Things are finally moving along, toward the full release of the Gutenberg edition of #Alexandria. We have a stable v0.0.1 on https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu and the (buggy, very much alpha, but feature-complete) v0.0.2 has been rolled out to our staging area on https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu. This iteration adds the features: * Table of contents (a work in progress, but fun to play with) * Events search page for * unique IDs (hex, npub, naddr, nevent, note, nprofile, and NIP-05) * n: name * d: d-tag * t: hashtag * Publishing of any event kind, including 30040 publications * Commenting with kinds 01/1111, for any event * D-tag/wiki disambiguation, that respects deferrals * Relay and network monitoring * Automatic detection and integration of local relays * Rendering of long-form articles, publications and notes, wiki pages * All content fields rendered with #NostrMarkup, either Asciidoc or Markdown, depending upon the kind * Login with browser extension, npub-only, and Amber (remote!) * Note (30041) composition There's a link to a short mobile screencast, on our Geyser page:

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 @ChipTuner and @Finrod Felagund 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. @Laeserin 🇻🇦 is the first user. 🙂

GM. The new contact page is live on #Alexandria: https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/contact This is our first attempt at an input textbox, so go ahead and beta-test it for us. You can use our test file, as a starting point for your experiments. If you have questions about the parser or find some use case we forgot to cover, just put it in your test issue. The testfile: https://github.com/ShadowySupercode/gc-alexandria/blob/master/tests/integration/markupTestfile.md Instructions concerning how the markup parser:

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, @MichaelJ, and was a prerequisite to a number of other changes. Development should move more quickly, now. Thank you for your patience. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/about

GM Nostriches, We at #GitCitadel are almost a quarter of the way toward our *git server goal*. A hearty thank-you, to everyone who donated. We have now, correspondingly, lowered the monthly relay rate from 5000 sats to 3750 sats. View quoted note →

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

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

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.

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 @Gigi's book, below.) This allows for publisher and author to share in the credit and the zaps, and to both be notified of interactions with the index. 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. 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! https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/
