# TODO

## Open

Add web interface for sending private messages (they can already be answered like normal replies).

Add web interface for the list of people being followed.

Implement hashtags.

Make local likes / announces more visible.

## Wishlist and batshit crazy ideas

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); two binary indexes ala Gruta, updated on input, 1) by inverse time, and 2) by parent + inverse time. Timelines are built by reading from 1 and consulting 2 for the nested children. This change a) simplifies timeline_write() and associated functions (no parent / grampa rewriting needed), b) no big glob() inverse functions on huge directories, so big histories won't be problematic.
