# Tilde Social

Tilde Social is a flat-file social network intended to be used on shared tilde servers (like [tilde.town](http://tilde.town)).

All of your data is contained in your home directory, and others read your files to display information.

## User file system

When you initialize an account, you will have the following in your **~/.social** directory:

- **config** - profile information

- **following** - list of users you are following

- **posts** - list of posts you've published

## CLI utility

The network is interacted with via a single python script. On [tilde.town](http://tilde.town) it is globally linked as `timeline`.

You can use the following commands (example: `timeline feed`):

- `init` - To create a new profile, it will ask you a few questions and generate files for you

- `users` - View a list of users who have a profile

- `feed` - View a feed of users you follow

- `local` - View a feed of all users

- `me` - View your profile

- `following` - View a list of users you follow

- `followers` - View a list of users who follow you

- `mentions` - View a list of posts you're mentioned in

- `post Message to post` - Post a new message, everything in the quotes will be posted

- `follow username` - Follow a user

- `unfollow username` - Unfollow a user

- `following username` - View a list of users another uesr is following

- `followers username` - View a list of users who follow a user

## Future plans

Here are some features I'd like to add in the future if there is enough people using it:

- Require posts to be in quotes

- Allow commands with usernames to have tildes

- Make post ineractive "timeline post" and then a prompt for the text

- Add following and follows you to profiles

- Deleting a post from the CLI

- Boosting

- Replies

- View a specific post thread

- Hashtag support

- Limit feed and local with a number, such as "timeline local 5"

- A more interactive tui application

- Statically generated html files for use in the browser?

- Remote following users on other tildes?
