The npubs involved in this release were
We would also like to thank and for their advice and support. Thank you, also, to every other Nostrich who has donated, reposted, published, tested, and fevered along with us. This project has both the loftiest goals and the smallest budget, but we have proven that all things are possible, on Nostr. And you helped prove that.
We, at #GitCitadel, are grateful for you all, and we wish you a good morning. ☺

Alexandria-Gutenberg Release Note
The v0.1.0 Alexandria app, Gutenberg edition, has been released by the Gitcitadel project team, and is in production on https://alexandria.gitcitadel.com.
Good evening, fellow Nostriches.
We at #GitCitadel are proud to announce that #Alexandria has basically stayed the same, despite our making major changes under the hood. 🎉
You might notice a slight difference, when loading large publications. It now loads as you scroll down the page, rather than loading all at once. This means that you can load really large and deep publications without your browser freezing up.
This was a major change in the architecture, by our Product Owner and lead Alex developer,
, and was a prerequisite to a number of other changes. Development should move more quickly, now. Thank you for your patience.

GM Nostriches,
We at #GitCitadel are almost a quarter of the way toward our git server goal. A hearty thank-you, to everyone who donated. We have now, correspondingly, lowered the monthly relay rate from 5000 sats to 3750 sats.

Hello, fellow Nostriches.
We at #GitCitadel have spent this week pricing out remote servers and brainstorming; considering the most cost-effective, but still performant, way to implement a public #gitserver based upon Nostr. In order to help us front the rental fees and lower the price to individual npubs, we have begun a new https://Geyser.fund goal.
The resulting server will have multiple #gnostr implementations and tools on it. We are planning to begin with:
- the #GitRepublic API, that will make it possible to log in to git with your Nostr signer, and will trade out e-mail communication with Nostr notes,
- an HTTP-based git server (the first thing that will be going online, so that everyone can move or mirror their repos),
- a paid AUTH relay https://gitcitadel.nostr1.com (currently 5000 sats/month, to cover all the running costs, but we hope to bring that down dramatically, due to your donations),
- an #Alexandria instance focused on technical documentation and styled for the dev users,
- and an instance of https://GitWorkshop.dev that displays the repos on the server.
It's difficult to compete with a "free" public service, like GitHub or Codeberg, but we're hoping that tighter integration with Nostr will add some value to the developers using it, and for the public interested in browsing the PoW stored on it. Through the integration of Nostr and Lightning, we are leaning into the comfortable, Nostrized, friction-free logins, and will facilitate V4V payments for Nostr's hard-working devs.
Many thanks in advance. And may you have a good morning.

Good evening,
As a project that is run by Nostriches for Nostriches, we at #GitCitadel are proud of our humble, zap-based financing, especially over our Geyserfund (https://geyser.fund/project/gitcitadel). It's been mildly painful, and we've had to learn to pinch each sat until it cries for mercy. But it has definitely been the right source of funding for a project in this incubation stage, where we tentatively brood and hatch out our first baby, Project #Alexandria.
HOWEVER,
we regularly receive questions about how we plan on having a more sustainable source of funding, and one of our main ideas, is to cover the costs of our relays with a relay subscription that
is managing for us. The current subscription of 300 sats/month (which some of you have been grandfathered into), will get you write-access to the relay. It is a great help for us, if you actively subscribe to wss://theforest.nostr1.com in your client, and include it in your outboxes and inboxes.
This access will become interesting soon, once the publishing feature is opened up, and even more interesting, once we get comments, highlights etc. going. Alexandria is a community-first client, and theforest is our community relay for the https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu instance, so anything written to that relay will receive pride-of-place in the client. Because we know and trust our own community members, we're displaying "the full global", so this relay is a great way to immediately make contact with other npubs, even if you are new to Nostr.
We are also working on the ability to offer premium relay subscriptions, and we'll announce those, once we get the features going that they will unlock.
Yours truly,

Good morning, fellow Nostriches!
We at #GitCitadel have got some updates for you, today, as we do every week. We've:
- fixed some bugs and performance issues in #Alexandria and sped it all up a bit,
- corrected and expanded the Visualization page,
- and we've soon got a rudimentary Claude AI integration available for you. (You can follow the progress of that integration on the GitHub PR https://github.com/ShadowySupercode/gc-alexandria/pull/16 .)
In other news, this week was Move Everything Somewhere Else Week, and we've got an article describing the process, the results, and our next DevOps steps.
Enjoy the read and have a nice Sunday!
