ANProto Roadmap#

Authenticated Non-networked Protocol (ANProto)#

ANProto should be implemented in as many programming languages as possible so that it is useful to many programmers in different environments.

• JavaScript https://github.com/evbogue/anproto
• Golang https://github.com/vic/goan
• Rust https://github.com/vic/anproto-rs/
• Zig
• C
• Python
• Haskell
• etc

A Personal Data Server (apds)#

apds authenticates and stores ANProto messages and blobs

This document only specifies what needs to happen with the JavaScript implementation.

• Generate and save keypairs
• Compose messages
• Verify messages
• Add messages to a DB
• Query and search the DB
• Remove messages from a DB
• Block content from authors or specific messages from being added to a DB
• Websocket server (move over from Dovepub)
• HTTP server (move over from Dovepub)
• Static message browser
• Web 2.0 login/password with server-held keys

Wiredove PoC Webapp (wd)#

Wiredove is a proof of concept progressive web app (PWA) that allows users to interact local and remote APDSes.

Networking -- connects Wiredove to remote PDSes

• Trystero
• Websockets
• Does ws reconnect?

User interface

• clientside hashrouter
• profile pages
• chronological feed
• post composer
• "for you" feed
• bios on profile pages
• banners on profile pages
• notifications
• likes/hearts/emojis?
• delete specific blobs/posts/users
• client side mute

Random errors that need to get fixed

• new posts should show up at top
• syncing old messages should not be so overwhelming
• lost posts?
• double posts with different hashes?
• slow page load on mobile

React Native App#

• profile pages
• chronological feed
• apds support? or just a lite client?
• notifications page with read/unread state

Open questions#

• Do we support encrypted dms?
