   1 # Goals
   2 - Come up with a name / codename.
   3 - Must have communities.
   4 - Must have threaded comments.
   5 - Must be federated: liking and following communities across instances.
   6 - Be live-updating: have a right pane for new comments, and a main pain for the full threaded view.
   7   - Use websockets for post / gets to your own instance.

   9 # Questions
  10 - How does voting work? Should we go back to the old way of showing up and downvote counts? Or just a score?
  11 - Decide on tech to be used
  12   - Backend: Actix, Diesel.
  13   - Frontend: inferno, typescript and bootstrap for now.
  14 - Should it allow bots?
  15 - Should the comments / votes be static, or feel like a chat, like [flowchat?](https://flow-chat.com).
  16   - Two pane model - Right pane is live comments, left pane is live tree view.
  17   - On mobile, allow you to switch between them. Default?
