App: Workspaces (was: Facton: basic framework support)

[enricoros]

Creation and editing of Factons, and stuffing into the context. V1: Single Mesh, Identity Transform.

Requirements - prototype:

• storage
  • abstract storage layer, with git-like history preservation, and undoing systems
  • storage in indexedDB
• data
  • meshes: any type, default to Markdown (text) for V1. probably serializable to a supported mixin format (strings, maybe images with vision, or a mix of both?)
  • factons: collections of meshes[], fields that are dependent on the vier, caches that can be persisted or not and are HGHLY depending to who's viewing
    • how to represent arbitrary derived information? such as "give me all the birthdays of my friends"
• Composer Attach: @ to add to the current conversation as attachment, which opens a selector
• Facton App:
  • Create and Edit a facton
  • Edit mode: full-screen Markdown (as text) editor
  • List: Graph-like spatial display, saving spatial coordinates

UI requirements:

• Graph-like editing to create and move spatially
• (optional) Create or destroy connections between graphs
• Double-click/tap to enter editing mode (split or full screen)
• Edit mode:
  • blank space to edit markdown and never seen it as markdown

Postponed V2+:

• Hierarchical visualization / edit (any number of hierarchies)
• retrieval relations: implied by space, hierarchy, or distance in the embedding space
