I logged out and relogged in. I think it is working now.

Looks like there was an issue with the browser extension, Jumble couldn’t call it to sign the event.

Sorry to bother, but I’m testing out a client.

I forgot what exactly I was doing the other day, but when I tried to reply to this comment in https://jumble.social/ I couldn’t even reply.

This was my error.

You can see the “event code” you produced here:

https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/events?id=

You can see how you put “* by Jim Craddock” in the title field. The title is what is at the very first header, like “= This is a Title”. The author metadata goes into the “author” field, in the yml, not the title. Just use a name, as we automatically preface it with “by “. Don’t add formatting, like bold, in headers. That happens automatically.

Your .adoc first lines should just be:

= Redacted Science

== Foreword

Jim Craddock’s story begins not with a diagnosis, but with a domino toppling to start a Rube-Goldberg-like chain of events that was impossible to anticipate — severing trust, certainty, and medical convention. At once patient, researcher, skeptic, and subject, Jim documents a thirty-year personal experiment shaped by pain, persistence, and the pursuit of pattern in a system built on averages.

This project, _Redacted Science_, charts that journey — sometimes even to the point of discomfort for the reader. It is a...

You have very heavy formatting, with bold asterix and italic underscores all over the place, and hard-returns, which makes it difficult to read and interrupts the automatic word wrapping. For instance:

_[Author, that sounds pretty cool._\n\n_I’m not an author. I’m a Chemical Engineer with thirty years in\n\nsystem-building and data architecture. If you know someone like that,\n\nyou know they are all about data integrity. “I think in third normal\n\nform.” At least that is what I told them when I interviewed and got the\n\noffer to be the Data Architect for the City of Tulsa several years ago.\n\nI turned them down, largely due to this illness. I knew it would come\n\nback. I was in one of the interludes. The time between transitions when\n\nmy brain was cooking with gas, and I was in shape and knew I could do\n\nanything you wanted with a database design. I still can, even though\n\nevery day is a “push day” - what I call days that I just try to get past\n\nthe symptoms to the finish line. But, I want to recognize something, or\n\nsomeone._\n\n__W

I’m thinking that whole section should be a blockquote, like:

[Author, that sounds pretty cool.\n\nI’m not an author. I’m a Chemical Engineer with thirty years in system-building and data architecture. If you know someone like that, you know they are all about data integrity. “I think in third normal form.” At least that is what I told them when I interviewed and got the offer to be the Data Architect for the City of Tulsa several years ago. I turned them down, largely due to this illness. I knew it would come back. I was in one of the interludes. The time between transitions when my brain was cooking with gas, and I was in shape and knew I could do anything you wanted with a database design. I still can, even though every day is a “push day” - what I call days that I just try to get past the symptoms to the finish line. But, I want to recognize something, or someone.\n\nW

Hope that helps.

Do you have a link to what you’re trying to paste? If it is a problem with relay connections, that’s something larger to debug but if it has to do with the formatting I can help you figure out if it’s a wrong syntax.

Congrats!!

I don’t google anymore …

Interesting that the severing l sections are doubled up. But, it seems to be working, though with some odd formatting.

Link?

Well, I got it published. The first time, it had no title. So, I tried again.

Somehow it published as 40+ separate things. Oh well, it is out there now. That was the main goal.

I have no idea what went wrong.

Live, and quite useless. And nearly unusable! Not sure what I just clicked on, but it was certainly not a library. More like a sick spectacle of books-on-soulless-web-pages

I’ll get there tomorrow. Windows wouldn’t get me there today and those adocs are a whole new type of pain. Thanks for the link!

OH! Now I understand.

I don’t build software. Doing it by AI would drive me crazy.

Please excuse my English, using a translator is a terrible experience.

I also hated AI until I realised how much time it saved me when building something from absolute scratch until I had something visual.

I see it as a tool for drafting, it gives me a good idea of what I have in mind and with that I decide what I want and whether I will invest my time improving the draft.

I see that many people do this today and with increasingly tight deadlines I resort to existing tools that can help me optimise my time.

Traduzido com o DeepL (https://dee.pl/apps)

Perdoe o meu inglês, usar o tradutor é uma péssima experiência.

Eu também odiava as IA até que pude perceber o quanto tempo ela me economizava ao construir algo do zero absoluto até ter algo visual.

A vejo como uma ferramenta para rascunhos, ela me dá uma boa visão daquilo que tenho em mente e com isso me decidir o que desejo e se vou investir meu tempo melhorando o esboço.

Vejo que hoje muitos fazem isso e com prazos a cada vez mais apertados recorro as ferramentas existentes que podem me ajudar a otimizar meu tempo.

Hated who?

WTF are you even talking about?

I hated her too, until I saw how much time she gives me, from the first line to something visual.
I see her as a great draftsman and nothing more.

I do not.

I am not a coder.

I personally detest AI, so I don’t use it. That is a question for the rest of the @GitCitadel team.

I can try to help if you have more details.
Perhaps a little artificial intelligence could help with the draft?!

Yes, but it is still a WIP.

Is there a tool that converts an EPUB file to this format?Or something similar to that?

I own many books, but not having a tool to do this ends up being a barrier.

There is no penalty to switch. I use both often.

We all need more testers.

Only if you want to use mine. ☺

If you have problems with Jumble.social, I can’t help. That’s Cody’s client.

Try again. 😊

Thanks for participating in this. As you can see, we’re all fumbling about here 😂

should I switch?

jumble.social

jumble.social

Are you using jumble.social or jumble.imwald.eu?

Now things aren’t posting from jumble at all. Here is a screenshot of one of the errors and no I am getting not confirmation of posting.

If it showed any success, I didn’t see it. It happened again with this post.

I tried, but it wouldn’t let me connect more than one article. The add article button didn’t seem to work.

You make me feel better that it isn’t just me. I was feeling really stupid.

If it showed any success, I didn’t see it. It happened again with this post.

If it showed any success, I didn’t see it.

I’ve had that happen with imwald jumble before, too.

The error didn’t show success, but only failure?

I couldn’t figure it out, either. @liminal 🦠 I’m not the only one, now. 😂

More idiot. I got an error that it failed to post to one relay, and thought it didn’t post at all, so I double posted. Uggg!

I used to think of myself as a computer expert. I know I am not as up-to-date as I used to be, but trying to use the posting part of Alexandria makes me feel like a complete idiot. I am clueless.

You can also try it on decentnewsroom.com. It uses the same index structure, but it’s specifically for longform articles.

Create an index by going to https://decentnewsroom.com/reading-list/wizard/setup

Then add articles in the wizard on the next step.

If you log in, you can also add articles to existing lists later direcly on the article page.

I don’t have any tutorials yet, sorry. And publishing might still be buggy. But it’s an option.

Yes.

That’s mostly what I do.

If it is too complicated for you to figure out, then, it is too complicated for our general targeted customers to figure out.

I thought I’d make an attempt at using three articles I’ve posted (Part 1, part 2, and part 3) into one of your nested articles with the table of contents (in order to later maybe post one of my books), but I can’t figure any of it out. I don’t have enough technical knowledge of nostr or formatting to make it work. I’m clueless. I guess the one thing I can be useful to the team is by playing the nontech, uninformed person and what it takes to make the system work for the uninformed.

Congrats 😃🥂

congrats 🎉🎉🎉

It was a really dull-seeming project, for years, because it has been 95% server and baseline stuff, but we finally are speeding up the actual import of books and running analysis and graphing, composing, and etc. We’re beginning to show why we thought putting books into events is superior to files. I describe why here:

by Silberengel Aug 25, 2026

Why it's not Annaxandria

Why we're putting books on Nostr, and not where they already are.

https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/about

https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/start

on the page there is about tag, what information are you looking for?

I see Chesterton’s Orthodoxy and the Douay-Rheims (best English Bible)… Baaaaased! 🔥 Bravo!

The point is that you did that, more than most and when it was needed. Don’t sell yourself short.

Thanks for the encouragement, but anything I did is insignificant when compared to most of the group. I answer a few questions and give encouragement. They have spent huge amounts of time and effort.

I am so fucking excited to see this!!! WELL DONE EVERYBODY INVOLVED!

Nothing gets me more excited than a library and to see you guys make one on nostr is just, awesome.

👏👏👏

But you have, so don’t sell yourself short, LG!

We appreciate your hard work.

One of the posts listed me as a contributor. That isn’t fair to the true contributors.

🫂

it will happen!

Hey, how about #Nostrbooks on grimoire and habla? 😁

What she said!

No, thank you!

You guys do the hard part. Me? I just zap, something easy enough even I can do it.

The biggest problem we have is that the source files are full of typos and errors. The Bible was missing verses, for example, so I had to copy-paste them in. The books are so large that the AI sort of wheezes trying to find mistakes, and I have to really scan over the whole thing.

We might just ram them all through the converter and then edit the events that are wrong, afterward, tho, since we can replace them in-place. Would get us further, faster.

Congratulations!!!

Yes, #Scriptorium. I’m using it for Asciidoc and HTML, so far, but Euler has EPUB and PDF formats planned. It will become integrated into the #Alexandria web app, but it’s a CLI, so far.

https://github.com/Silberengel/scriptorium

Yes.

Is there already a tool or planned for future release to easily import existing epubs?

Nostriches, we need to read more books!

Big big congrats, but now keep shedding and making it how you dream it 🧡

😂

you’re sleeping on the books 😅

Look at that date. 👀

I feel like I’ve been drowning in Nostr-books for years… and I have been. 😂

Here is the original article, which defined the #Alexandria project.

Project Alexandria

On the project to build the world's largest, digital library.

Great things ahead !

The feature-creep on Gutenberg was crazy. We built three DevOps platforms, six apps, and four relays, just to get the MVP off the ground.

I have some bad news for you:
Euler is going to be even crazier.

😂

Thank you, @lassdas ☺ You just topped the @geyser page, with your contribution to our fundraiser.

Next version should take less than 2.5 years !

Looking good👍

This took 2.5 years, in total. Just to get to the MVP.

This project is sort of crazy, but we’re working on the next version, so let’s all keep calm and carry on. 🫡

Thank you! ♥

congrats on the release, team!
