GM Nostr,

We've been working on a number of projects, in the background, including a Nostr-based git HTTP server, and we've been considering our pricing model for them. We have received enough donations to reserve the git server, and

and

are going to be launching the beta version of that #thoon. We are excited to use it, ourselves, as it's frustrating fighting other login methods. Nostr is simply less friction.

We are aiming for a base storage of 1 GB for an organization (the owner npub and the collaborator npubs it invites), with additional storage purchasable. 1 GB is more than most dev teams use, and we want to keep our running costs low. If it turns out to be too little, we will increase the baseline. It will be bundled together with a media and blossom server, and a subscription to theforest (we will credit you anything you have paid for theforest), as well as access to our other inhouse systems.

This is also just a fun way and easy way to help support our efforts, and to make sure your support requests get faster responses. The subscribers will be invited to help us Design Think our systems and applications. We build with you and for you!

We are also negotiating group discounts from other service providers, which will be offered to anyone on our NIP-05 list.

We will be controlling access to those servers, and to the other functionality we have planned, over the https://gitcitadel.nostr1.com relay and the gitcitadel.com NIP-05 list. That is a read-protected relay, unlike https://theforest.nostr1.com, and any Gitcitadel team members you see on there have paid for the access, themselves.

is the first user. 🙂

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

'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!
