Goodreads, but actually good (and nostr-native, of course) #nostrWishlist https://relay.dergigi.com/8e2226a2ee7ff4d9bb9c9d2875a604b1908c645da8768d15b06d994af1e6ca3c.jpg
Maybe it exists already? #bookstr #asknostr

Yeah, of course. That's the Defoe version of #Alexandria, after Gutenberg and Euler. For now, the books are just published as events, but all of the book club and scheduled reading and etc. stuff is coming later. We're doing the scientific research paper stuff like annotations and citations and LaTeX publishing first. There are actually three implementations of the e-reader events: Alexandria from us at nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz, Chachi from nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg, and the Flutter library from nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q. The fourth is coming #thoon. We're working on an HTTP API for relays that allows the events to be read on e-paper, like a Kindle. Here is nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc's book, 21 Lessons, over plain-ole websockets. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=21-lessons-by-der-gigi-v-1
I use Alexandria to publish my blog, so you can see what I've written about it, here. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=the-gitcitadel-blog-by-stella-v-1
The difference to GoodReads is that you can refer to books elsewhere, with Alexandria, but we're also going to me mass-migrating all of the open-source libraries from Harvard and Cambridge, and etc. onto the relays. So, those books and scientific papers will reside on Nostr, directly. Should be a few million publications, once we're done, and then people can upload more themselves. We're working on changing the reading direction to allow for other languages. Not everything is top-to-bottom/left-to-right, after all, like manga.

Yeah, it's a nice sort of folder for project docs.
