main goals and technolgies:

• to start this will be a golang driven web app, which will allow future expansion into an API backend which can serve several frontends (mobile apps, web apps, etc.) for data-sharing and collaboration functionalities later on

• this whole thing will be rolled out in a interative way, so from step 1 we will have zero downtime upgrades built in

• as more features get added the binary will be seamlessly updated

• see ideas here

features:

• version 0.1:

  • graceful restart (when new binaries are loaded to the server)
