I firmly believe in free software.
The application I'm making here have capabilities that I've not seen in
any system. It presents itself as an opportunity to collaborate on a
tool that serves the people rather than corporations. Whose incentives
are to help people rather, not make the most money. And whose terms
ensure that these freedoms and incentives cannot be taken back or
subverted.
I license this software under the AGPL.
Rename and refactor the types passed over the API to be based on an
entity that's either living or a tombstone. A living entity has a
deleted property that's either undefined or false, while a tombstone
has a deleted property set to true. All entities have a numeric id
and an updatedAt timestamp.
To sync entities, an array of replacements are passed around. Living
entities are replaced with tombstones when they're deleted. And
tombstones are replaced with living entities when restored.
Start the work of clearly distingushing client side types, server side
types and types shared over the API by renaming "AccountSession" and
"Session" names used on the server to "ServerSession".
If a user logs out from a device the expectation should be that device
no longer having any association with the user's account. Any existing
push notifications should thefore be removed on server. For this reason
tie push notifications to a session, and remove them when the session is
deleted.
