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
the unpleasant scratching from #mochi the #catstr i got last night is a sign of good things it seems
this morning he is sitting on the mat in front of the oscillating heat lamp, and he just briefly grasped the corner of the mat and started biting at it
he has not been playful since he got here, and the reason for this was that he was sick and in a lot of pain, and needing to rest up and be fed good food
about half of the food i feed him now is stuff that i would eat myself, albeit maybe with more salt and maybe spices or some sauce, it makes a big difference when he is sick, because this good nutrition is feeding his immune system, and it may also be helping that the weather has been a bit warmer lately
it is going to be a very happy day when i see his tongue is no longer protruding all day long, that he's not drooling any more, and especially when the yellow stain from the bacteria in his sinus that leaks out through his nose and eyes stops staining his legs and belly... it's already substantially reducing from this now, and the playfulness is a very good sign
only i sorta wasn't prepared for the playfulness... probably need to set up some cardboard boxes and more scrunched up pieces of paper to play fetch with
#thoon he will be like a normal semi-mature cat...
the only thing i'm not so much looking forward to is the initial phase when he starts playing fighty games but hasn't learned to keep his claws retracted, i will have lots of scratches on my hands from that
but i know he will learn it after a while
so it will be worth it
i am a good cat-dad and cat-nurse... he will be very happy with his luck to find someone who loves and understands the nature of the beast
just got two new listings from https://idealista.pt for places under eur1000/month today... one up in the south east mountain area near camacha, and another in faial, which is like second town over to the east from where i am now
both really good prices, and very nice, camacha place has the bbq in the kitchen, and the other has bathtub and bidet
gotta stack me some sats dang... the camacha place i would love to just dive into tomorrow except ... hhmmmm
yeah, i don't have enough spare cash to cover the move and the bond and all that... but i so would love to be up high in camacha like already, but this place in faial is also pretty nice, probably a bit more noisy (the camacha place stipulates no parties after 10pm haha)
#thoon
i got another 3 months here in boaventura so i'm gonna just hold my horses for another month, then i'm gonna grab what i can... partly because of logistics and partly because of money and partly because it's ok here, actually
this little shack is just a bit cold sometimes, but i haven't touched the allocated power bill cost so far even though i have been running a 900W carbon IR lamp a lot
and i don't have enough spare cash because the previous place doesn't look like they are ever gonna pay me back anything from the security deposit let alone the accidental extra month i overpaid
which yeah... another reason... scummy scabby people
i can definitely say i'm not a fan of sao vicente people in general, these people in boaventura are a bit more decent, though a little bit cheapskate but maybe that's part of the deal
I don't know, if any of you have been paying attention to the relay market, lately, but three innovative projects we at GitCitadel are watching very closely are:
* the powerful, scalable NFDB relay from nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3vamnwvaz7tmgd9ehgtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyv8wumn8ghj7mnxv33zumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmd9uq3jamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxamgv4ex2tnrdakj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqzq5455pmtewaacws6a73hxkqkea6fjwcm3keq9vqu3q7930nl4k9acaw56v
* the speedy Realy relay, and it's new HTTP-based spinoff, from nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7mtvv44h2tnjv4skc7fwd3hkctcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wghxcctwvshszxmhwden5te0w35x2en0wfjhxapwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uq32amnwvaz7tm5v4ehgtnjv4skc7fwd3hkctcqypxgqqjh5ky2s2zf6pyczlptm2kesje953ddnak66ehy05a50caj7c0zn5e
* the full-featured administration layer relay.tools, from our longstanding relay supplier nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3eryvfwvdhk6tcpzemhxue69uhkyetkduhxummnw3erztnrdakj7qg6waehxw309akx7cmtvfhhstnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9uq35amnwvaz7tmpv36kcapwxyu8qmr4wvh8xmmrd9skctcqyp7vx29q3hdj4l0elxl800hlfjp538le09epsf7k9zj59ue2y37qu7l0dvr
I've long been convinced that the relay market is due for a lot of innovation and reform, and it's been exciting to see it kick-off in a big way, like this. #GitCitadel has use cases for all three, and will soon be turning on AUTH-to-write to support their integration, so look for that coming #thoon.
