Really, extending the todo.txt todo-list format (http://todotxt.org http://todotxt.org) to being a blog platform is as simple as having a heredoc style delimiter for each post. Then of course, you're just recreatin org-mode from first principles.
Social media is also merely the exchange of plain text and media files.
If only we had a simple and free platform that had the following features:
* Supports multiple simultaneous users
* Has simple user and group access control
* Treats everything as a sharable file
* Easy for admins to securely deploy out of the box
* Easy for users to securely connect out of the box
* Uses few enough resources that it can be ran on effectively any computer, no matter how powerful.
If only we had such a mythical system, we could decentralize the net. If.

It's a wiki, blog, DVCS, and bug tracker all in one program, using sqlite as a backing store. An instance of it runs in about around 2MB of memory on a small vps.

- throwaway81523 5y agoThat's an old video promoting Unix, so I don't see what you're getting at. Unix is not a distributed OS. The web has to work over communications channels with fairly high latency, so you don't want a file-system-like interface either. If you have something specific in mind, maybe you could say what it is instead of being coy.
- dang-guefever 5y agoSorry, if you can't read between the lines at even this point, I doubt being explicit would help.
- throwaway81523 5y agoGive it a try maybe.
