What are the minimum viable requirements to be a social platform? Would it be different than a social media platform? To me this would be like irc with commands then every sent message/email would reply not to everyone but return something like a html page where the user could modify text commands based on the returned message.
- brightball 4y agoMaybe an app (mobile or desktop) that connects to your email account and looks for messages with a certain key, collates them and creates a news feed + comments, then as you comment and reply to things it sends platform messages to the appropriate members? As long as you aren't looking for a platform with promoted follows vs just friends and family, it seems like a more ideal way to do so without having to worry about anyone else "owning" your network. Add encryption, etc as well if desired. Email seemed to be the safest and most widely available means of async data exchange, with IMAP making it possible to sync between mobile and desktop easily enough.
