The prototype of ChainMore（阡陌），a community of sharing and managing interests and knowledge.
This project consists of three main parts:
Domains aggregate users, posts or any other basic components. Domains are not isolated but connected in two ways:
One is the parent-childen relationship, in which children's resources are aggregated into their parents (The top domain is an exception).
The other is the dependent relationship, in which a domain must have at least one dependent domain (The primary domain is an exception).
Based on these two relationships, complicated participation and authentication rules can be made and used to restrict the permissions of a domain.
| Permission | Access | Notice | Participate | Manage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unregistered | Limited | Denied | Denied | Denied |
| Registered | Permitted | Permitted | Denied | Denied |
| Dependent domains authenticated | Permitted | Permitted | Permitted | Denied |
| Current domain authenticated | Permitted | Permitted | Permitted | Permitted |
A special rule of authentication is: before you start any authentication progress, you must get the authentication of the primary domain.
Those permissions may seem a little bit complicated at the first, but they are designed for a better community environment for every neighbor.
Managers of a domain can make rules which influences how to filter posts, how to vote on changes of domain.
Posts are the most basic carrier of any kinds of public and static information.
A post can have many formats:
Considering costs of servers and cdns, only Link Share is recommended (and supported).
We use category tags distinguish posts from each other.
What would people share? A good resource? Send a web link. A sparkle of a great idea? Send a quick message. An impulse of expressing emotion? Send a message with lifetime or forword times.
When we check our timeline, posts are just like sands on a beach. What if we want to link the dot? Append a node after the post chain.
We can discuss under a post by sending comments. It makes a post as long as possible. We also want to record our footprints of doing something, especially in a study process.
Much more functions can be added into a post. Initiate a change of domain. Start a vote on how we meet each other. Make a punch card, so that we could find ourself motivated by others.
Users own posts in timeline, and posts are organized in chains. Users upvote, comment and collect posts, watch or block domains, follow or block users, get the authentication of a domain, initiate changes of a domain.
Switch from study, gossip or something else.
