Inception

Inception

Our primary principles are:

• Simplicity - we want people to adopt this so keep it simple stupid -at least from a user perspective
• Portable - the more systems that this thing can be installed on the better
• Performance - people moan about facebook, one of the most optimised networks in the world, being too slow. We're competing with them!

So we've already had some ideas about how this is going to work. Logically, the app will be divided into two main parts:

• Server
• Client

The system will be set up using a user-friendly wizard.

Server

The server will basically implement tent.io protocol and do all the JSON comms with other tentd nodes!

The server will use Push and Pull to get friend updates from other instances.

Client

The client will display user data retrieved from other servers - posts, notifications etc.

The client will probably be an HTML frontend using some sort of websockets sort of setup.
