@ -8,43 +8,57 @@ Federated social media software.
GoToSocial is a Fediverse server project, written in Golang. It provides an alternative to existing projects such as [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/), [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/), [Friendica](https://friendica.net), [PixelFed](https://pixelfed.org/) etc.
One of the key differences between GoToSocial and those other projects is that GoToSocial doesn't include an integrated front-end (ie., a webapp). Instead, like the Matrix.org's [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) project, it provides only a server implementation and a well-documented API. On this API, developers are free to build any front-end implementation or mobile application that they wish.
One of the key differences between GoToSocial and those other projects is that GoToSocial doesn't include an integrated client front-end (ie., a webapp). Instead, like the Matrix.org's [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) project, it provides only a server implementation, some static web pages for profiles and posts, and a well-documented API. On this API, developers are free to build any front-end implementation or mobile application that they wish.
Because the server implementation is as generic and flexible/configurable as possible, GoToSocial provides the basis for many different types of social media experience, whether Tumblr-like, Facebook-like, or Twitter-like.
## Goals
## Features Wishlist
The first goal of the project is to implement a feature set comparable to Mastodon: server logic, federation logic, and a client API that's a superset of the Mastodon API described [here](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/).
A grab-bag of things that are already included or will be included in the project if time allows:
Once the client API is implemented, it should allow existing Mastodon apps like [Tusky](https://tusky.app/) and [Whalebird](https://whalebird.social/en/desktop/contents) to work with GoToSocial.
After that, custom features will be added that will necessitate expanding the API.
## Wishlist
Among other things:
* Reputation-based 'slow' federation.
* Granular post settings.
* Local-only posting.
* Easily-configurable character limit.
* Groups and group posting.
* Various federation modes, including reputation-based 'slow' federation, 'normal' federation, allowlist-only federation, and zero federation.
* Local-only posting, and granular post settings including 'rebloggable/boostable', 'likeable', 'replyable'.
* Character limit for posts that's easy for admins to configure (no messing around in the source code).
* Groups and group posting!
* Built-in, automatic LetsEncrypt support (no messing around with Nginx or Certbot).
* Good performance on lower-powered machines like Raspberry Pi, old laptops, tiny VPSes (the test VPS has 1gb of ram and 1 cpu core).
* Subscribeable and shareable allowlists/denylists for federation.
## Implementation Status
For an up-to-date view on progress made towards a v1.0.0 release, see [here](./PROGRESS.md).
Things are moving on the project! As of June 2021 you can now:
* Build and deploy GoToSocial as a binary, with automatic LetsEncrypt certificate support built-in.
* Connect to the running instance via Tusky or Pinafore, using email address and password (stored encrypted).
* Post/delete posts.
* Reply/delete replies.
* Fave/unfave posts.
* Post images and gifs.
* Boost stuff/unboost stuff.
* Set your profile info (including header and avatar).
* Follow people/unfollow people.
* Accept follow requests from people.
* Post followers only/direct/public/unlocked.
* Customize posts with further flags: federated (y/n), replyable (y/n), likeable (y/n), boostable (y/n) -- not supported through Pinafore/Tusky yet.
* Get notifications for mentions/replies/likes/boosts.
* View local timeline.
* View and scroll home timeline (with ~10ms latency hell yeah).
* Stream new posts, notifications and deletes through a websockets connection via Pinafore.
* Federation support and interoperability with Mastodon and others.
In other words, a deployed GoToSocial instance is already pretty useable!
For a detailed view on progress made towards a v0.1.0 (beta) release, see [here](./PROGRESS.md).
