Compound Profiles #31

Closed aschrijver closed 2 years ago

So Murmurations allow aggregation of predefined profiles. This issue is an idea to allow Compound Profiles: Multiple smaller profiles are aggregated into a larger compound profile that can be consumed by subscribers.

An example use case..

Website Theme Directories

There are tons of static site generators, like Jekyll and Hugo and many others. They use Themes with which one can quickly publish a new website with the desired look & feel. As a result there are also numerous websites that collect and advertise themes. The theme collection is a manual process. Often the themes are ranked by popularity based on the number of Github stars they have. This works, but is a problem if a developer hosts their theme somewhere else than on Github.

A Compound Profile may offer a solution:

The Theme Usage Profile is a child of the compound Theme Profile and its registration will update the used_by field in the parent, thereby providing the metric with which to measure popularity of the theme.

Closing this issue since it does not relate to an issue to address/fix in the protocol. Feel free to discuss ideas like the above in our GitHub Discussions forum. 👍
