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).

NIP-62: Curated Publications by limina1 · Pull Request #1600 · nostr-protocol/nips

This NIP defines a specification for organizing nostr events into collections - ordered, optionally-hierarchical structures like books, journals, o...

#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.

GM, fellow Nostriches. @liminal 🦠 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. @ChipTuner 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. @Silberengel 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 @Liberty Gal covering the Western Canon for homeschoolers. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/visualize

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.
