 Yeah, #Nostrudel is at least willing to show something, which better than nothing, but not that great.

 Don't stress our favorite unicycler too much 😉. 
Very much good enough for now 👌  
 Displaying at least something like this is best practice. Just leaving it blank or hiding it is unhelpful. 
 Oh, yeah, he's on vacation. Sorry! 
 no idea still yet where the funding will come from but i'm of the opinion it's a great base for cranking out a really slick fork... especially now it actually supports nip-42 - would be great if it's possible to simply add more control interfaces without interfering with the existing codebase... 

i'm a total noob at typescript tho 
 Slick + More Control Interfaces  😂 😂 😂  
Wet dreams of Nostr devs.
I'm here for it.
#nostrdesign in a  🥜 shell. 
 30041s are really important because they keep the subcontent out of the main feed.

Otherwise, every single Bible verse will have to be a wiki page or article page or note. There are almost 32k verses. 
 I think of it this way:

The 30040 is the binder and the 30041s are the individual papers in it, sorted in a particular order, all pertaining to some topic.

You could have 500 papers in that binder, or 5, but the binder always takes up the same amount of room on the shelf.

 nielliesmons You have a new design branch to cover. 🤝

We need everything for books, journals, magazines, e-readers, book clubs, etc.

Let's goooooow! 🚀 
 
 oh niiice 
 Working on the hopping from Wiki to Article to Zettel to Book and back to Wiki flows now. 
Exciting stuff.

I'm calling it #interhopping  🙈  
 All Nostr internal addresses. 😎 
 Zettel is probably the event for unusual formatting options. Articles need to stay simpler.

Liminal was originally thinking about publishing academic papers and then you'd need the option to include something like LaTeX or nicely-formatted C-code. 
 Just realized that we can now highlight books, like on a Kindle. Whoa. 
 This means you could write a post on some passage, in a highlight, and everyone could click on it to read the full source or see the context. Nice. 
 Easier said than done UX-wise 😉 .

What do you want to see when you click on a book highlight?

Because let's imagine the author of the actual book is dead. 
You'd give priority to diplaying who actually wrote it, right? 
And only then show who published this version on Nostr.  
 I'm assuming that it just goes to the 30041. 
 Margin notes are the highest signal.

If a friend lends you a book and you find highlights and scribbles from your friend on the margins, that’s where your attention will go first.

It’s not just a highlight. It’s not just a book. It’s not just a thought from your friend.

Is the intersection of a book you might enjoy and a person you care about. 
 Seems like it could also be useful for book clubs. 
 That was always my vision for highlighter

Instead of wasting time with a bunch of noise and minutia, discover highly relevant and timeless content that propels you to become your best self 
 I'm trying to use it more, but the struggle with the UI is real. 
 😓😓 I’ll get them fixed 🙏🙏🙏 
 What is a 30041 event? I don't see any apps that support opening it 
 It is now supported by Indextr (still self-hosted, but soon to come on our website) and by Highlighter.com 
 Here is an example of both 30040 (metadata) and 30041 (sub-article or chapter).

 wouldn't "section" be a better name?

the 30040 kind can be stacked in a tree right? so you can have like Genesis, Exodus, etc and then in each Chapter I, Chapter II, etc and in those probably better to then just use a simple header to indicate position 
 They can be stacked, yes, and the 30041 is where they actual content is. 
 It could be section, but i like the general idea. Novels may have sections, but one may want to fine grain it even more. The purpose for denoting sections ( through whatever method) is that the author explicitely is stating "this text belongs here, not over there". Makes a nice training set on "semantically closed" concepts. 
 The format is definitely most ammenable to "sections" though, given the title tag requirement.
