Future Ideas

[georgeaf99]

A place to keep thoughts and track our plans for Planktos.

Separation of Responsibilities:

Components:

• Perma-Torrent => A torrent client that speaks File and works in web workers
• Planktos-Lib => Snapshot CRD interface and a fetch interface that uses Perma-Torrent
• Planktos => Used by intercept handlers, manages snapshots, and gets resources (API: fetch, update) [NOTE: needs extensibility for different garbage collection strategies]
• Intercept Mechanism => Provides a mechanism agnostic interface for handling intercepted requests (SW and tag editing)
• Intercept Handler => Handles intercepted requests by calling Planktos

NOTE: ideal garbage collection strategy is reference counting (tabs -> snapshot) via on death callback and heartbeat

Merging of Priority DBs:

There should only be one priority DB for all of the snapshots, instead of a priority DB for each snapshot.
