(wip)(not done)(pre alpha) skylite (temporary name probably)(test thing)#

an attempt to make a lightweight, easily self-hostable, scoped appview (kinda like fedi instances, so that means users need to register to an instance to have the content they should see be indexed) using:

• live sync systems:
  • jetstream
  • spacedust
• backfill:
  • listRecords
  • constellation
• the server stuff:
  • sqlite
  • the usage of typescript
  • deno

this uses XRPC server tooling and codegen so the repo is kinda large despite not being functional at all

currently the state of the project is:

• db:
  • is not ready but ive started working on it
  • db schema is kinda there but still iffy on the insertion (kysely with better-sqlite3 or just use raw sql queries with deno jsr:@db/sqlite ?) (or maybe should it not use sqlite at all?)
• indexing:
  • the meta framework of the parsing incoming data is kinda done (good enough for MVP but i would like more indexing provenance)
  • but the actual logic for index handling to the db is not done
• registration:
  • user registration is not there yet, the wrapper around listRecords exists though (for onboarding/backfill)
• XRPC Server:
  • setup is done, just need to actually implement all 80+ routes
  • got auth working recently but havent hooked up the validator to the xrpc method/route handler so it can access who requested it

there is still a lot of design work i havent done regarding stuff like:

• moderation
• indexing provenance
• registration/unregistration APIs
• cross instance backfills/viewing
• also im pretty sure im not listening to all of the app.bsky.* records that i should be listening to but i havent re checked it even though i already imported the entire lexicon directory from the bsky atproto git repo but i just havent checked yet
• and more

still very early this does not run on any bsky clients yet practically none of the api routes have been implemented yet
