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 @npub1356t...805u 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.

GM and a happy New Year, Nostriches. We at @GitCitadel 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.)
