cinnamon-bun commented 4 years ago

Define a standard format for about info such as

Name
Profile info
User icon
Following
Blocking

Something like

about/~@xxxxxxxx/name = "Alex"
about/~@xxxxxxxx/info = "Here's some stuff about me"
about/~@xxxxxxxx/icon = "...base64 string of a low res image..."
about/~@xxxxxxxx/relationship/@aaaaaa = "follow" | "block"   ???

Standard data formats are now implemented as "Layers", e.g. https://github.com/cinnamon-bun/earthstar/blob/master/src/layers/about.ts

[ ] Write docs / standards
