# TODO

## Open

Add a 'Hide' button, to stop showing a post and its children.

Implement hashtags.

Implement bulleted lists.

## Wishlist

Implement HTTP caches (If-None-Match / ETag).

The 'history' pages are now just monthly snapshots of the local timeline. This is ok and cheap and easy, but is problematic if you e.g. delete a post because it will be there in the history forever.

Create the `mastodon2snac` helper program (reading directly from the boxes, not using any exported data).

Add an RSS to the local timeline.

Idea for a new disk layout: timelines stored like in git (2 character directories and then the md5.json inside); one append-only index with entry ids, read backwards (easy because md5 binary ids measure the same); children lists as append-only files stored inside the timeline directories with almost the same names as the parent entry; liked-by and announced-by lists as append-only files of actor ids. No _snac metadata inside the message. (But, what about the referrer? With this layout, do I need it?).
