topiq

A social network application based on P2P replication with CRDTs.

Test p2p network at:

http://www.topiq.es:8084/

Usage

You can use the app in your browser all state changes are automatically synchronized and topiq reconnects automatically after you have been offline. Sometimes conflicts can happen and are resolved automatically atm. This will probably change at some point depending on the future feature set.

Deployment

We will be more than happy if you join the test network! Just drop into the replikativ channel of gitter and say hello :)

Atm. you need an SMTP server which can send messages to notify users about authentication requests.

Edit the config settings:

{:build :dev ;; or :prod
 :behind-proxy false
 :proto "http"
 :port 8080
 :host "localhost" ;; adjust hostname
 :user "mail:eve@your-isp.com"
 ;; only do this for CDVCS' you control and do it on one peer
 ;; to avoid server-side conflict management!
 :hooks {[#".*"
          #uuid "26558dfe-59bb-4de4-95c3-4028c56eb5b5"]
         [["mail:eve@your-isp.com"
           #uuid "26558dfe-59bb-4de4-95c3-4028c56eb5b5"]]}
 :connect ["wss://topiq.es/replikativ/ws"]
 :mail-config {:host "smtp.your-isp.com"}
 :trusted-hosts #{"topiq.es" "78.47.61.129"}
 }

Build an AOT-compiled jar file:

git clone https://github.com/whilo/topiq
lein uberjar # also compiles advanced cljs
java -jar target/topiq-standalone.jar resources/server-config.edn

You probably also have to add the letsencrypt tool chain to your JDK with keytool. You can see this when you get connection errors with ssl for topiq.es.

wget https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.pem
wget https://letsencrypt.org/certs/letsencryptauthorityx1.der
sudo keytool -trustcacerts -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -importcert -alias isrgrootx1 -file ~/isrgrootx1.pem
sudo keytool -trustcacerts -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -importcert -alias letsencryptauthorityx1 -file ~/letsencryptauthorityx1.der

Roadmap

0.1.0 (first release)

build test network
fix HTML
Use dialogs for authentication
improve datascript queries and understanding, e.g. rank & sort in datascript
escape topiq text
Allow time travel
show only recent entries (how?), dynamically load more content

0.2.0

partition state space to allow embedding in different contexts
make layout embeddable as comment stream
better editor for markdown: ProseMirror?

TODO

remove navbar
use try for connect and then build up CDVCS directly instead of embedded store
organized in a discourse/conversation (branch?), e.g. private conversation "discourse" for each friend as "messaging"
support search by hash-tag, user
plugins to add data and structure to comments / social apps
individual up to collective help to summarize for new topic
