What's your opinion of Etherpad? Does their roadmap overlap with your vision?

Wow, have to ask whether you're interested enough to contribute? :) > You can't use a volatile cache ... > all this work to juggle JSON in flat files I really don't think I've misu…

A TMTP client can subscribe to any number of TMTP services at different sites.

FWIW, most of the roadmap for this project is not described on the website nor defined in the protocol. This is a deep topic, and "messaging" is not the only goal, nor even the pri…

(Author here.) I imagine that existing web-based bulletin boards would simply copy messages to TMTP users if requested. Conversely, TMTP groups/lists could be copied to a read-only…

(Author here.) The message format definition is included in the protocol doc only as a convenience. Ultimately it would be two standards. Trying to "upgrade" the email ecosystem is…

(Author here.) Thanks for your interest & support! Yes, the default concept for an Internet messaging service is "everyone can reach anyone". This isn't helpful for online services…

(Author here.) Development has been paused for ~1y as I've been at work creating a vehicle to take this forward. The protocol specifics (e.g. identifiers & types) aren't polished, …

(Author here.) TMTP clients maintain concurrent (possibly intermittent) connections to any number of TMTP services, and each service gets its own inbox. So you don't need a separat…

It's the underpinning of the Web Monetization effort backed by Mozilla. https://webmonetization.org https://grantfortheweb.org

"mnm" enables a safer, better, decentralized email network. It's open source (and not blockchain). https://mnmnotmail.org & https://twitter.com/mnmnotmail Because SMTP will not be …

I have sketched a plan for a venture, for which I'd need co-founders (e.g. mobile app code & UX expertise) -- feel free to reach out via Twitter @mnmnotmail (link above). Those big…

At this early stage, I'd say the biggest obstacle is reaching a wide enough audience; I have no prior fame, and no PR budget yet.

And yet none of those corporations has displaced email, despite the fact that it has become a universal cyberattack channel, with a stagnant UX that doesn't address most real-world…

The success of a wide variety of messaging and discussion apps demonstrates that the network effects of email are not necessarily a high barrier. What these products have lacked, w…
