The first release of our main editor & publisher is live on #Alexandria 📖 now! From here, we can publish a list of notes, or notes grouped together as an article with events as sections, even a collection of articles. Alexandria aims to be a place for ideas, at whatever level of polish, a place where you can see them grow. Here's a video tutorial, along with a link to the tutorial in article form! 📜 https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.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

One of my favorite projects on nostr! A couple of questions: First of all, how do I access the editor? I cannot find a link in the article. I can build from source if there's no hosted instance, but then I need a repo link. Some general questions about the (current or planned) capabilities. Let's say I want to write an article with multiple literature references, quotes etc., serving as a "hub article" connecting multiple influences of mine. I imagine the process would go like this: 1. I ramble a little using my own words - normal stuff written in asciidoc, each paragraph stored in a separate event, with an ordering defined by paragraph-paragraph links (probably also specified as events). 2. I quote or reference another text. If the text is already published on nostr, I'd like to link it as a reference to a particular sentence or paragraph (probably using a special event kind). If the referenced text is not on nostr yet, I publish it myself, providing metadata like author, year, media type, title etc. 3. From time to time, instead of writing something by myself, I just want to embed a whole paragraph from someone else, like a sample that you'd use in a rap track 😄 4. I go back to my own rambling and the process continues. As a result, I'd like to get a cloud of interconnected nodes in the visualizer, with my article being a central hub. Different colors of connections would denote different types of interdependencies (quote, reference, direct inclusion). Is it possible do something like this?

Yakihonne publishes kind 30023, which is Markdown single-event articles, called "longform". Same as DecentNewsroom and Habla and Primal. Alexandria is the first with a GUI publisher for more complex documents, consisting of multiple events in a hierarchical construct called kind 30040. It treats Nostr "content pages" as individual files, and the 30040 is an (ordered) list that tells you the files inside of it, similar to a UNIX file system directory. And, as with UNIX, you can put both files and directories into directories. That's why he shows the 30040 events as 📂 folders, like in an operating system. You can put any kind of file into that directory, but kind 30041 Asciidoc is the default, and that's the one Alexandria's composer comes with, so far. We also have viewers supporting folders with 30023s in them (as a content management system for websites) and with 30818s in them (our project documentation). That's all very complicated sounding, but it's just a file system that you can choose to display hierarchically, as folders or a website, or flat, as a magazine or book or blog. You actually have the honor of having written one of Nostr's first publications: https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.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

Yes, that's why I showed you the Rauhnächte book I made. Each of your original articles was turned into a section/chapter, and the metadata (title, original author, etc.) is in the index card that lists all of the chapters in order. Then the app just pulls the index card, goes through and finds the chapters, and displays them in order. This way, you can define a structure: chapters, subchapters, preface, and appendix. And you can define anything with up to 1000 sections. We printed classic literature and scientific journals and the Bible with it, to test.
