This file includes a high-level description of the program's structure:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Frontend and backened are to be separated, this should allow for multiple front-end implementations such as generating output in:
|
||||||
|
text/html, text/gemini, application/xhtml+xml, text/xml, gopher and even plaintext.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Backend gets post data from a database, and formulates it into a "thread":
|
||||||
|
A thread consists of an Original Post by an Oririnal Poster (OP).
|
||||||
|
With subsequent replies sequentially following the OP.
|
||||||
|
Each post has a unique (monotonically strictly increasing) ID.
|
||||||
|
And ID numbers are determined per-board.
|
||||||
|
Thus, IDs can be used to cross-reference posts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each board consists of a number of OPs.
|
||||||
|
With the order being of how "fresh" the replies are:
|
||||||
|
The thread with the latest reply is the top thread and the order goes in a decreasing manner according to the thread's latest reply time.
|
||||||
|
For lack of confusion, seconds from the Unix Epoch shall be used to track time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Front-ends shall query the backend for the relevant board and thread structs and then synthesize their output.
|
||||||
|
Front-ends that support posting shall also pass the data along to the back-end:
|
||||||
|
If there is a new thread, then a thread struct gets passed.
|
||||||
|
If there is a new post in a thread, then a post struct gets passed.
