Matt…: They're in epub format, if that means anything

I could use something like this https://github.com/uxiew/epub2MD to convert epubs to markdown and upload them to Nostr via the app.

That’s a brilliant idea - I recently explored the idea of importing books directly to nostr - there’s a huge online resource for classic books available freely.

Thank you! I actually published this via book app that I’m working on. Will try to add links to chapters in a big. Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

Demo: https://nostr-book-app.shakespeare.wtf

Vibecoded most of it, some parts I developed myself.

It’s interesting to see that the posts appeared in timeine out of sync, and this one appeared last.

Cool story btw 😎
