The internet is inhuman.
Banal content, often machine-generated, is fed to us in a machine-determined order, through the shiny machines we carry around in our pockets.
It doesn't need to be that way.
The internet, fundamentally, is made up of texts, of writing; and writing is the Great Conversation we've all been participating in for thousands of years.
What if you could "listen in" on that conversation in a more meaningful way?
That's just what #Alexandria aims to do, and @Silberengel's document parser will be a key component.
It will bring pieces of that Great Conversation into the digital space, and allow us to interact with them in a whole new way.
This is how we make a more human internet.

At a Bible study last night we were reading sections of Wisdom, and discussed briefly how God punishes sin by simply letting us experience the consequences.
Thus we are chastised by the same false goods we chose when we sinned.
One of the guys pointed out that this is generational, too. The Boomers are hoarding their wealth, and now a stock market crash is wiping it out. Gen Z gives themselves over to their phones, and then suffers from intense loneliness. Other examples abound.
Love your neighbor, strive for virtue, and trust God.

I've been spending a lot of time learning about WebAssembly lately, and I think it will be a critical component of Nostr's future.
WebAssembly makes fast computing possible at the edge. What does that mean for Nostr? Since Nostr is decentralized, and not all Nostr relays are created equal, it falls to the client app developer to implement inbox and outbox management, content recommendation algorithms, and so on—types of tasks that have traditionally been delegated to central servers.
JavaScript running on a browser simply won't be quick enough for many use cases.
This is one reason why @GitCitadel's planned Nostr SDK, named Aedile, will be built from the outset for a WebAssembly target. With the right technology, Nostr can share the benefits of cloud computing while maintaining flexibility and keeping control in the hands of the end users, that is, all of us.

Minor release of my uploader, with some essential upgrades, unit tests, and a complete redesign.
Still just a minor release because I will be adding wikis and long-form article processing, as well as folder-based 30040 structures, and some other stuff, and that'll be the 0.2 release. Everything I'll need to produce test data for #Alexandria Gutenberg edition.
Inching my way there.

One of my goals with #Alexandria is to build an app that I can explain to people who have never heard of it without once mentioning Nostr.
It should stand on its own merits as an app.

I suppose that this is the marketing cardinal sin, that @fiatjaf was writing about, yesterday. Nostr products are too often aimed *people on Nostr*, but that is actually a miniscule subset of the global userbase, and it's one generally uninterested in anything other than zapping and tweeting. That's why products that do things other than zapping and tweeting tend to get little publicity, on here.
We should be designing products that appeal to larger swathes of the potential userbase, including almost all humans on the planet, who have never heard of Nostr and don't care about it. They just want to do XYZ and are looking for a tool, for that purpose. They are not looking for a Nostr tool. And most Nostriches aren't looking for a tool, for that purpose. So, we need to market to the XYZ people, directly, with some Nostriches also falling into that

We host Alexandria and our other projects on a private git server using OneDev.
Would other #nostrdevs be interested if we began providing a public git server as a (probably paid) service for others to host their projects?
Our goal is to break dependency on GitHub, and this would be a step in that direction.

In the Middle Ages, an english mariner by the name of Eriol Ælfwine travelled West and somehow made it to a fair place of magic known by many names. Some called it Elysium and Eriol’s people called it Avalon. However, it was called Tol Eressëa by its own inhabitants.
There, Eriol learned much of the history of the world, of its making, of the gods, of the races of elves and men, and much more.
Upon his return to England, he wrote down all that he saw and that he heard, but it passed out of knowledge… until it was chanced upon by a young Oxford student, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, who translated the scrolls into what many now know as The Lord of The Rings and other tales.

Still very much a demo, but now here it is. AI + Nostr:
1) Text search on the title + author of a note
2) Semantic search on content
Example: "The cat chased the mouse" is semantically similar to "Felines hunt their prey at night" even though they don't have any words in common.
What this means is that you don't need an exact match of the text, you just need to type in words you think are related and it will retrieve the K closest events that are "semantically similar"

On behalf of the @GitCitadel team, I want to give a big shout-out to @Nusa, who stepped in with his TailwindCSS expertise and spruced up the UI in #Alexandria for NIP-62 publications. You can see his work below.
I'm particularly grateful for his attention to detail on the light mode variants. I dare say Alexandria now has one of the most elegant light mode UIs in the Nostr space.
Take a look at these latest developments at next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu, and let us know what you think!

Ok, now we can do 1M events with ~8-18 relay hints each + 1M pubkeys with 5 outbox relays each + 1M + 100K replaceable event addresses with ~8-18 relay hints each using only 6MB or memory.
Assembling a relay list depends on how many different relays you see, but it costs around 289 microseconds if you saw ~2000 relays.
Incredible.

The key innovation of kind 30040 is that it imposes structure on otherwise unstructured data, scattered and duplicated across different relays. Beyond documents, a filesystem is an obvious next step.
In principle, a kind 30040 index could even structure items not on Nostr, using URL references, for instance.
There's a green-field opportunity for someone to build a Pinterest-like collections client that lets you pick items from around the web and add them to a structured, curated collection.

My goal for 2025 is to release the Nostr relay we are currently developing.
My ultimate goal is to develop a relay that is optimized for Nostr with no unexpected dependencies on standard libraries.
I would like to achieve this goal little by little.
Currently, I have developed a simple Websocket message mechanism using only the C standard library, based on RFC6455 - Websocket Protocol.
Through the development of this protocol stack, we are learning the low-layer component technologies necessary for Nostr.

I've been reading up on the music theory behind Gregorian Chant, and it is fascinating.
The music style developed as vocal ornamentation for texts of Scripture. The inflections in the music resemble the inflections of a good orator who lets his voice rise and fall for effect at various points within a sentence.
Over time, 8 modes emerged. Each mode conveys a different emotion—solemnity, reverence, joy, and so on—and each revolves around two primary pitches. There is the tonic, the pitch the chant ends on, and the dominant, either a perfect fifth or a minor third above the tonic, that contains the center of the melody's motion.
Thus, with a few elements, the medieval monks developed an oral tradition that allowed them to memorize the pitches and basic melodic elements used in each mode, which aided them in chanting the Scriptures, especially the Psalms,

I'd like some design feedback on Alexandria.
I'm working on an article editor feature. A screenshot of an early draft is below. The overall goal is to be able to type AsciiDoc-formatted text, preview it in rich text form as it would appear in the Alexandria reader view, then publish it as a cluster of kind 30040 and 30041 events.
My thinking is to break the content down into sections. The content of each section will be published as a kind 30041 note. Each section will be indexed by a kind 30040 note, which will reference the content of the section as a kind 30041 and any subsections as 30040 notes.
Question: How would you like to preview your published events?

"Marijuana has surpassed alcohol as America's favorite addiction. In 1992, fewer than one million Americans were daily smokers of pot. In 2022, the number had soared to 17.7 million. In the same year, 14.7 million Americans reported drinking alcohol daily. Writing for UnHerd, Mary Harrington speculates that the ascendancy of marijuana bespeaks a cultural change. In Anglo-American culture, coffee, cigarettes, and afterwork booze were part of a culture of work. Factory workers chugged Budweiser at the corner bar when their shifts ended. Corporate managers poured martinis at home after a long commute. By contrast, here in New York, I often smell pot as I walk to work in the morning. It's not the aroma of productivity."

Now to start setting Mint up for my Nostr projects.

Also been working tightly with @cloud fodder on relay management, @Niel Liesmons on communities, and most recently @fiatjaf on markup. And a thank you to @Sebastix, @semisol, @ hodlbod, and @mleku for explaining things veeeery sloooowly.
I've learned so much.

Some notable points of collaboration have been with @DanConwayDev on Git over Nostr, and @PABLOF7z on wikis and event design for Alexandria.
There are plenty of other devs building parts of the Nostr ecosystem. We work with them to give feedback and boost their apps' capabilities while we carve out our own nice.
It's cooperative competition.

It's sort of a weird project because it moves really slowly and we spend a lot of time helping other people with their projects and debating the Nostr protocol and landscape, instead of just fiddling off alone in a corner.
Watching us work probably doesn't make any sense. I think about that, a lot. We're a fun team to follow because we're full of talented writers, but it's like

Today for the first time in zap.store , a developer has published their own app 🤩
That is ngit by @DanConwayDev (a CLI package)
We'll be reaching out to more CLI and Android devs to follow suit!

Exactly the point I’m making! All clients across the Nostr network will benefit from customizable invites by any social onboarding (enabled) client.
YES, invites by nostrmeet.me will be customizable to “recommend” any Nostr client (by URL or AppStore link) for the new user…

Yesterday, I used ngit and GitWorkshop to propose new changes to @GitCitadel's Alexandria app. Alexandria collaboration is fully managed over ngit and GitWorkshop, which is amazing to see. The future of code collaboration is already here!
Big props to @DanConwayDev's tireless work on ngit. It gets better every time I use it!
I went from v1.2.1 to v1.4.2, and in the new version I was able to use Amber to sign most events, interaction prompts were easier to understand, and the app seamlessly worked with multiple repo events from different maintainers. Looking forward to seeing where ngit goes in the future!

Yup. Yup. I'm making it official:
Nostrich range day, October 13th at the end of Scotia Shooting Range. Time TBD based on range opening. (Sundays are usually a delayed open to be polite to neighbors.)
40°46′21.54″N, 77°57′53.95″W
Bring your own guns. I'll bring some of mine. Never shot a gun? That's fine, too. I'll walk you through everything you need to be safe and have fun. I do have extra eye and ear protection, but, depending on how many people are coming, we'll need to figure that out.
Might this be the first nostrich range event? I hope so. That would be rad!
If you're interested in the let me know. I'd you know anyone that would be interested, let them and me know.
More to follow.

I just want to say to the powers that be... if you think I'm doing something wrong please just contact me. I'm very law abiding, I'm risk averse, and I've always avoided anything that I think is legally nebulous (e.g. money transfer services).
I think it is a big stretch to think that nostr developers or even relay operators are government targets at this time. We are just developing a new Internet protocol. AFAIK we aren't supporting illegal content and we aren't refusing to take down illegal content. The powers that be need only ask and we will (in the main IMHO) comply with all lawful demands.
BTW, none of you rely on me not taking down your stuff. All of you have the self-power to be fully distributed and censorship resistant. So my compliance with a lawful government demand should not affect your ability to

For sure. My time in support has taught me there needs to be some balance to keep a stable product, you'll never make 100% of users happy, but can't grow without listening. Support is expensive few companies even want to bear that cost, and usually don't, that's why us Americans always get Indian call centers XD

For the @GitCitadel Alexandria knowledge base app, how would y'all like to see a home page organized?
Should it:
1. Show the most recent knowledge base articles on your relays.
2. Show the most recent knowledge base articles from people you follow.
3. Not show any articles, but just present a search bar.

#nostrdev please...slow down and test stuff before putting it out. Literally every Nostr app I've tried to use today is buggy to the point of being unusable. I'd rather see slower releases that actually work than bleeding-edge apps that run like it's the 23rd hour of a red-bull-fueled hackathon.
