I've been working on a new open micropublishing network that's entirely
peer-to-peer, relying on a publish-subscribe overlay to facilitate
scalable distribution of messages on hashtags, profiles and threads.
You can peruse its design in this document:
http://bitweav.org/whitepaper.pdf
Its main features:
- first of its kind to support publish/subscribe to topics (profiles,
hashtags, threads)
- doesn't use rendez-vous nodes for topics (meaning only nodes who are
subscribed to a topic will help distribute messages on it)
- message threading and replies. multilingual support.
- more scalable approach to message dissemination using rings, rather
than gossip-based flooding (see ch. 7 of whitepaper)
I'd appreciate any constructive criticism / discussion and if anyone
would like to help I would greatly appreciate it. I'm currently
developing the frontend graphical client, afterwhich I will progress to
implementing the backend daemon.
Cheers,
Liam Edwards-Playne.
