calendar points in the right direction
we need email, calendar, private video/audio conference, client facing support logs, issue boards, kanbans, document repo systems, blogs, threaded discussions for fans and devs, crowdfunding integrations, instant messaging with threads and that functions as CLI for most of the above as well
probably some accounting systems would help also, bonus points they are bitcoin native
Do we email, though? I'd rather not...
email and instant messaging are the same thing in my opinion
They should basically serve the same functions, yes.
this fact alone hints at an architectural issue in both instant messaging on nostr and the pop/imap protocols
they are instant messaging, yet they pile up like forever data that 99.999999% is completely worthless
this is why my idea of proper instant messaging (including large, richtext messages) should be cached but not archived, and for the most part, deleted
that is, it's primary conveyance is pure relay, no caching... caches are specialised relays that you set up to subscribe to catch your messages and store them for later... if everyone had some kind of "chanserv" for their messaging (including everything, really) you could cut out the whole relay list concept altogether and instead replace entirely with outbox where for most cases you simply send your messages to the relays where other users will read them, and those relays will be subscribed by their home and office chanservs that will archive and make these accessible to the users via the relay only relays that do middleman service
there's a whole vision i have in there about that, maybe that does give you some hint at it tho
