questions
Which format is the book upload in?
Where is the book stored?
Is a hyperlink to a file easier to start with than upload?
Which format is the book upload in?
I recently worked with some pdf parsing, so I know for sure that works well, although I have to test out parsing one page at a time. Later on we can look into epubs.
Where is the book stored?
I'm still going back on forth on storing the books on relays, a relay of our own or a database
Is a hyperlink to a file easier to start with than upload?
Upload is easier for me start with
One question that I do not know the answer to is does the author publish from a specific npub associated with the book, or from their personal npub.
Currently multiple profiles is not widely supported in nostr clients.
I actually have epubs working instead of pdfs, but the structure is not always a one size fits all. Do we want to use kind-23 for markdown support or do we post everything as kind-1 plain text?
Books will be stored on a database
