I don't know if this has been clear, but what you see on https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu is actually quite old and the https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu is even older. nostr:npub1l40cx7mc8cr23qamy6xhjx4gng9wmuczj2d8ertvw98w0aak9x3qyxmh7n is working with a newer version.
The #Alexandria master branch has had a lot of commits merged, since then, and we have massive dev branches with major rewrites and expansions coming up for PR #thoon.
I suspect we are now the largest Nostr project, from feature set, after Amethyst. As well as being the largest project team. Your zaps finance all of that.
And this is just the MVP. We haven't even made it to v0.1, yet, and we have an eye-watering road map to tread, after that, including major functionality for #MedSchlr. This is gonna be real, professional-quality, B2B software, folks, with the feature set to match.

Nostr itself is a wiki (hat tip to nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q for that idea), but it also has specialized wiki events.
You can view them over the URL bar, already, and some of the publication content is actually 30818 wiki pages, not 30041 sections.
Example
https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=mirepoix
is the same as
https://wikistr.com/mirepoix*dd664d5e4016433a8cd69f005ae1480804351789b59de5af06276de65633d319
And this document only contains wiki pages, arranged in a 30040 index:
https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=gitcitadel-project-documentation-by-stella-v-1
However, what happens if "mirepoix" has two results (it does)? Currently, we show the newest one, but we will #thoon be showing a wiki disambiguation page. It will display the wiki pages prominently, at the top, and allow you to CRUD your own, defer to or recommend those from others, etc. But it will also have a semantic/topic search bar that will return wider results from the community (which, in our instance, is theforest 🌲), regardless of kind. So, when you type in "mirepoix", this here kind 01 note will appear in the results. You will also receive pictures people have posted about soup vegetables, videos of soup veggies being chopped, recipes people posted in 30023 notes about making Suppengemüse, etc. And you can then filter and sort those results, like on the publication feed.
So, if you want to see everything anyone on Nostr wrote about "Wuthering Heights", you go to the wiki page and type in "Wuthering Heights" and we show you everything we can find, with any wiki pages (which are essentially curated search results) on the top. We will find more or less, depending upon which relays you have access to.
Every page (publication, wiki, articles, events, visualize, social) will be both a navigator and a viewer, and context-sensitive to the page.
Because we're a library for Nostr and the Nostr library contains all sorts of library items. Modern card catalogs are semantic search engines.
Hello. We have a new feature implemented, in #Alexandria, which might interest some of you.
We have revamped and expanded the index card menu. You now have the ability to display publication details (index metadata) on the cards, including book summaries, ISBNs, and links to the npub profile pages of the publishing npub and the author. (If the author has a npub and is referenced in the 'p' tag, as with nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc's book, below.)

This allows for publisher and author to share in the credit and the zaps, and to both be notified of interactions with the index.

You also have the ability to open an original URL-source of the publication (usually to a web page, PDF, LaTeX file etc.), even if the publication is also available in event form. Currently, it opens outside the app.

This opens up Alexandria to being a true library catalog of all publications, even those under copyright or where there is no digital version readily available. They can be referenced and interacted with, through the index cards, in a manner similar to GoodReads or other "book review" sites.
This will become more apparent, once we add things like kind 1111 comments, to the index events. For now, we're still revamping the parser and the table of contents, but they should be replaced #thoon. Thank you for your patience and support, while we rebuild, and may you have a good evening.
Happy reading!

Well, I guess it is very difficult to understand, as it's adding a novel data structure (indexes) on top of a novel data structure (Nostr events). So, it doubles the complexity. It might have been too #thoon, to demonstrate this. Should maybe have kept it offline, for longer, but then they bitch about us programming in secret, so we really can't win.
And then we hid the complexity in the app, without yet adding in the features that leverage that complexity, so it just looks like one long text file, and everyone is like
