 WIP image of the Alexandria client's article view.  @liminal's code fetches a collection of kind:30041 notes indexed by a kind:30040 note and bundles them together into an article.

Each kind:30041 note is rendered as a subsection, as illustrated by the highlight on hover.  A table of contents will allow users to jump between headings within the article.  A bit down the road, we can add highlight and commend functionality on individual kind:30041 notes within an article.

 its beautiful 🥹 
 Aren't you glad I asked him? 😊 
 Oh damn 
 Kind of like chapters in a book? 
 Exactly like that.

Liminal has been working on a knowledge management system composed of Nostr notes.

Individual sections or chapters are published as standalone notes, and alongside them are published an index or table of contents organizing those sections.

An index can impose any organization on any set of notes, and you can even have an index of indices, nested as deeply as you like.

This gives us any number of ways of organizing bits of knowledge into books, compendiums, works cited for papers, and more. 
 That would be great.  I could make an index for my whole series on the Fruits of the Spirit, another on my series on prayer, another on my end times series, and another on my Genesis series.  That would be awesome to have them so well organized.  That would make things even better than on substack where I have been posting them.  I am looking forward to it being released. 
 Yes!  And as we build out the client we could introduce pinned indexes, so someone could view your profile and see your top series. 
 And you could created a compendium of your indexes. Best of LibertyGal Theology. 
 i only just discovered properly the wonders of this lady 
 Her stuff is too long for Kind 01. She's one of our inspirations for getting the Bookstr stuff going. 
 Awe.  That's so sweet. 
 i'd seen you appear here and there but then yesterday i read some of your posts 
 nostr:nprofile1qqs25vn4zu2skyr92ug6q9cgcxr48v9r8vd5f5zc43qax69tzku4ryqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qyd8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn6v43x2er9v5hxxmr0w4jz7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz73fk8q6 sounds somewhat related to what you were talking about 🤙 
 Kind off, they have a view model which is very nice. My idea is more on in-text linking to create a Zettelkasten 
 The Alexandria app for the exasperated and beleagured minority that can #NameTenBooks.

This is going to be version 1.0, focused on reading books, note collections, and other modular articles, but there is later going to be a writing/uploading section, and we will be supporting wiki pages and articles, as well. Anything long-form.
This is the app that #Biblestr will spin off from, based upon the subset of Bible book events.

And there will be much more and it's going to be awesome because we are all readers and we need a quiet place to read and to explore what to read next. Like walking through the library...

We at @GitCitadel  are sharing that library with all of you. 🥰 
 yes i am actually marking it in my calendar when i can transfer biblestr.wiki to you


hhmmmmm

25 august should be able to transfer, in the meantime if you actually have a site going and want to use it just bump the IP address and i'll put a @ and * pointer to it (and ipv6 if you got em) 
 Will do. Have to finish Alexandria v1.0, fork, and then requery. 
 message about bot 
 You mean I write like a bot? 😂 
 no - check dm 
 so Laeserin is not Pablo playing a character? 
 😂 No, but I think we're both technical visionaries, so we give off the same vibe, sometimes. 
 Like I said, we're focusing on building things for people who need to concentrate on important information. Reading of long texts, code reviews, project management, publishing of academic articles, homeschooling and Bible study, children's literature, etc.

Our apps are going to be elegant, reliable, sleek, and efficient and I promise to test everything on my crappy, old, hardware. 

(Not that I have much choice. 😂) 
 t-y! 
 🤔 Commenting on specific parts of a book and being able to see what community says  an change the whole experience of reading. Other than having obvious censorship resistance perk this is also very interesting
