Music to review code to. 🤓
Bouta start a new database for client side indexing of ActivityPub data and making user curated timelines that much easier.
@mauve
Please please please YES. I have done the sqlalchemy version of it for this exact purpose but I kept running up against how much cooler it could be as a direct graph transcription of the json-ld, and if u want a partner on doing something like that I am very much in
@jonny For now we'll start by just rendering notes but having an easy way to filter/sort. We'll be ingesting data into IndexedDB in the client and using minimal-ish code to make it easier to fork and customize the feed.
@jonny I can send you a link when we have something more substantial but for now we're working on v1 here: https://github.com/hyphacoop/reader.distributed.press/pull/1
@mauve
Aha gotcha, so part of an ongoing thing not literally just new database models. Ok cool! Ill be curious to see what yall come up with
@jonny Yeah the model itself is super simple. Just an object store with indexes. 😅 Initially I wanted to do some zany stuff with RDF but time constraints got in the way.
How will it make user-curated timelines easier? Because I’ve always wanted something like the third point here.
@Hyolobrika Right now timelines exist in the code of large codebases for stuff like Mastodon and require an update for everyone as well as a bunch of security concerns since all the data is mushed together into a single db for instance users. Our approach puts data into a client side db based on a users follows and uses simple js/html/css to make it easier to hack on.
Can't remember what they're called though.
@Hyolobrika Ooo. If you remember the names I'd love yo learn about them. :o
Suuuper rough sketch for anyone interested. Basically we'll have a list of accounts you follow in localStorage, then ingest their outboxes into this. Then we'll set up fully p2p identities and use the #DistributedPress #SocialInbox as another source to ingest stuff like followers only posts and replies from people you don't follow.
