Notes

type: post

{ type: 'post', text: String, channel: String, root: MsgLink, branch: MsgLink|MsgLinks, recps: FeedLinks, mentions: Links }
  • channel is optionally used to filter posts into groups, similar to subreddits or chat channels.
  • root and branch are for replies.
    • root should point to the topmost message in the thread.
    • branch should point to the message or set of messages in the thread which is being replied to.
    • In the first reply of a thread, root === branch, and both should be included.
    • root and branch should only point to type: post messages. If the post is about another message-type, use mentions.
  • mentions is a generic reference to other feeds, entities, or blobs.
    • It is used by user mentions (you typed "@bob", so bob's link goes in mentions).
    • It is used by file-attachments (you attached a file, the reference goes in mentions).
    • It is used by message-mentions (to reference non-post messages).
  • recps is a list of user-links specifying who the message is for.
    • This is typically used for encrypted messages, to specify who the message was encrypted for.

type: postEdit

{ type: 'post-edit', text: String, root: MsgLink, revisionRoot: MsgLink, revisionBranch: MsgLink, mentions: Links }
  • text is used for posting the revised text that should take the place of some previous text.
  • root should point to the topmost message in the thread (i.e., the original thread root).
  • revisionRoot points the original 'unrevised message', i.e., the root of the revision thread.
  • revisionBranch should point to the previous revision in the revision thread. If this is the first edit to a message, revisionRoot and revisionBranch will be the same.
  • mentions is used as in post, replacing the previous mentions of the message in revisionBranch.

type: about

{ type: 'about', about: Link, name: String, image: BlobLink }
  • You should only include 1 votable piece of information at a time in an about message.
    • Of the attributes specified here, name and image are votable.
    • Therefore, name and image should not appear in the same message.
    • Reason: vote messages cant differentiate on content within a message. If name and image are grouped together, a vote on the message is a vote on both pieces of information.
  • Typically, type: about is for users, but it can also be used on msgs and blobs.
