Messenger 2.0

Goals

  • Refactor groups to have sub rooms
  • Reintroduce notification digests for smaller groups
  • Deprecate newsfeed posts to a sub topic (for legacy support)
  • Understand relationship between groups, gatherings, conversations and messenger
  • Refactor messenger to use own tables and support groups
  • New encryption algorithm (Libsodium?)
  • MindsID Asymmetric keys

Matrix - Riot.im

  • We would run matrix as a ‘home sever’ (synapse)
  • We need to build a PHP sdk that Minds would then interact with (like we did with unleash)
  • Group chats can be migrated, old minds chats can not
  • One-on-One chats are always encrypted, group chats are optional. Public groups should not be encrypted.
  • Users should be encouraged to backup their keys. Riot.im has a system in place we could look at.

To be decided

  • Groups vs multiple member chat
    • Groups are bloated
    • Facebook seems to do this right?
  • Threads vs Groups. Sub rooms are good for devs and breakouts. Too many groups can be confusing?
