⚡ Just converted the first couple Wikipedia articles to the Nostr Wiki format. Aka publishing to @`PABLOF7z`'s Wikifreedia.

Learning a lot about the Nostr protocol and client implementation in C#. I split the code into the mirror app itself and the FakeSpoon.Lib.NostrClient so I can later pull the lib out independently.

🔥 Challenges:
- How to scale to 30 million wikipedia articles
- Parsing wikipedia's 'wikitext' format to Markdown, it's hard!
- Building resilient C# Nostr Client library (working hard on this)

Making Nostr's Wikifreedia backwards compatible with Wikipedia! The first couple articles are ported as a test. Admitted, the looks are not there yet, but it's a start!

Small steps...
