\n Project
\n A platform meant to facilitate collaboration and file sharing. Should be a file-sharing-first platform. Sort of blog-like where anybody can submit a post to a global feed that anyone on the server can view. People on the server can then reply to the post either with another rich-media comment or plain text.\n This could be web only but it would be useful to have a mobile app as well for push notifications and being able to save media offline.Instances
\n Self hosted by users or hosted by us. Access should be restricted to invite-only by the server's owner. Everything should be customizable including css styling of all components. Maybe even specific to users within a server.\n Possibility of also having each private server have a public-facing page (also stylized) that lets a group showcase work or ask for help within a specific area of expertise the group could use help with. Possibly make servers peer-discoverable.\nPosts
Posts can contain any type of file or link (audio file, video, link, text, program-specific project files, zip, w/e) with additional text. Posts could be made to either showcase work, simply post for the sake of sharing it, or ask for comments / collaboration. Posts are displayed like blog entries in a main feed.\n\nDisplay features:\n[-] text\n - pure text (maybe markdown or at least html/css)\n - link + text\n[-] visual (single or gallery)\n - images\n - videos\n - gifs\n[-] audio\n - single track (or album or playlist)\n - album\n - playlist of files\n - spotify (detect link and embed player(?))\n[-] files\n - software project files (.psd, .als, .blend, etc...)\n - .zip, .img, .iso, .w/e\n\nMake it easy to listen to audio with a click-once-and-let-play function.\nEveryone within the server should be able to comment.\nComments should also be able to contain rich media.\nCan like / repost comments and posts.\nTag posts using custom keywords (or by color).\nTag @people in a post or comment to send them push notification.\nCan also subscribe to custom keyword tags to get notified.\n\nBusiness Model
