This is the #bookstr macro I want to use for publishing all of the Great Works, so anyone interested should scream at me, now. (Or don't, and scream at me, later, as I am always around. 😂) I've been working on it, for months, by attempting to publish different `30040` structures and see how I would best-address the individual parts. Also, I've been reading a lot of citation pattern documentation. That's how I came to the conclusion to make one generic book macro, rather than something #Bible specific. #christian #catholic #biblestr

The #bookstr 📖 macro is hierarchical. If you find a section or verse event, in the wild, you can just drop the section tags, to find the whole chapter, or the section and chapter tags, to find the whole book. This means you can always backtrack to the entire publication, from just one quoted line or paragraph. We are going to be having these tags in all of our publications, so you will be able to "Bible-search" and "Bible-cite" any of our books! I love books. Name checks out. 😎

Some things: 1. *You have to scroll-right on mobile.* Unlike Jumble and Alexandria, Wikistr is an unapologetic desktop-focused app, and that's why it's cool. If you have a wide screen, you can open up lots of panels, and make some wider, and it turns into the document version of a Bloomberg terminal. Credit for this design goes to @fiatjaf. 2. The different Wikistr themes have different looks, help text, and *different relays*, for the document search and the social interactions. #Quranstr uses Nostrabia, for instance, whilst #Biblestr focuses on Christpill. The basic #Wikistr has been left secular. I am looking for a Jewish relay, but haven't yet found one, so #Torahstr uses generic ones. 3. All have light and *dark themes*. The light themes are so much prettier, but I know you will all use the dark ones. 4. All themes take *your personal relay list* into account, and share a few document relays, so you can just pick the theme you like and use that. 5. *We printed the Bible first because Gutenberg did* and he's the inspiration for our Nostr printing press. We will proceed to print all other open-license books we can find, including the Torah, Quran, classical authors, English literature, etc. They will all be searchable, with this mechanism. 6. This wikistr *can find and render kinds 300023, 30041, 30817, 30818, 30040*, and the comments are kind 1111 and you can vote at the top of the panels, using the up/down arrow buttons. Only kinds 30817/818 are in the left-most panel feed, to keep it uncluttered and true to the origins.

These never really took off because we have kind 30023. Nobody cares, if a microblog has a typo.
It's worth noting that Psalm 42 is prayed by the priest and altar servers at the beginning of every Catholic Mass celebrated according to the old form (1962 and previous).
Is it maybe in Psalm 123 or 125. The Douay has an off-by-one thing going on with some of the Psalm numbers. That translation combines two of the early psalms that are separated in other translations.
Is this on a public repo yet? I'd love to take a peek at the code.

This is actually an expanded version of a previous post. There's still plenty of room for more expansion. Can add a bit, every year.

I started an experimental handwritten journal today. I've struggled with poor memory, rapid thinking, and difficulty paying attention for as long as I can remember. I usually deal with this by taking notes and talking to myself, but I'm hoping a handwritten journal will force me to slow down and deal with thoughts. I'm even considering a pen that must be dipped in ink to slow the process more than a modern pen will. I'm also considering setting aside a quiet, candle lit space for the exercise if I can make it work. This is an experiment that will likely change. Anyone else trying a similar concept?

Your proposal to slow down writing speed is too extreme I think, as I feel that the speed wouldn’t impact the memorability too much. I even find that with some finickier pens, I spend more time trying to write the thing than actually processing it, and your experience becomes “how do I get this pen to work” I made that post to see if anyone had much interesting but appears not. I can share my personal suggestions if you prefer.
It's easy to forget how far you've come in your #Bitcoin journey, until you start helping someone who's new remember how to send a transaction from their self-custody wallet. Concepts that seem basic to me now are completely foreign to newcoiners. Things as straightforward as, "Your hardware wallet can't sign for a transaction you haven't imported into it yet, because every signature is unique to the transaction it is signing for."
