Really cool. I love that this is a modern rejection of threaded posts, or things that gluttonously try to steal your attention. The choices (irreversibility, privacy, lack of mediation) are the same as what you get if you actually sit in a room with someone and talk.

I was quite sure I'd set it up for myself and family before I read it required AWS .. I wish instead of buckets and lambda functions... well... perhaps it's worth replicating the whole thing in Nodejs and sqlite which would be the highest praise of all ;P

[edit yeah yeah there'd have to be a bucket-like storage blob somewhere.// or would there?]



If I were doing something like this now I would probably try to use https://val.town It lets you just write and deploy typescript lambdas by typing into a text box :) The easiest way I know of to deploy an endpoint. It also has SQLite or blob storage access.


Pretty sure you could slap that change in in like a couple of hours. There is no high availability or traffic requirement. Then run it from your NAS.
