It’s called Ditto. It’s a Nostr-first backend, but it will introduce an API to obtain a NIP-05 address on the domain it’s hosted on, and if you do it will enable ActivityPub support on your account. And of course it supports Mastodon API.
My prototype is a pure client to a relay pool (no database), but I plan to support Gossip model and I’m trying to figure out how to make user feeds consistent. I know I’ll need to store some data. I want to build it in a way that the database is a cache that can expire and be rebuilt from relays. I’m tempted to use Redis because it will be a lot easier than LMDB, but I’m torn because it would increase installation complexity. Depending on how much data we store it might need to become a relay itself, then I can do advanced queries. I’m still mulling on the various technical/product trade offs, but the core idea is Ditto.
If someone can deal with PostgreSQL, they can deal with Redis.
Have you thought about storing stuff on Strfry instead of on a raw LMDB? Let Strfry be your LMDB interface? I guess this complicates installation.
client becomes relay aka p2p, very interesting
