Conceptualizing a modular system of apps for organizing food hubs and other ways of connecting producers and consumers

Hello @orangeman and @Leo239 it’s great to read your post!

In terms of features:

  • I think OFN supports “continuous units”
  • PWA and service workers are one way to make WEB apps offline. We are very far from this in ofn with the current rails+angular solution.
  • regarding splitting features across components - I totally agree and that’s why I believe the OFN API and breaking OFN in domains, to start with), is the way to go. I think the OFN community is well aligned about the importance of the OFN API
  • free software :sunny:

In terms of architecture,

  • kappa seems related to the popular event sourcing (I believe it is used internally in openolitor), I love this talk about it.
  • I dont see why the Matrix protocol is necessary here.
  • I advocate for simplicity, specially in these small scale systems. So my favorite architecture is REST :heart:

Keep it going!
