+INPUTLOOP.COM - internet service bus
+
+Assertion based stream and transactional data federation toolkit.
+
+Initial TODO:
+
+- [X] Start detailed project planning (this file)
+- [X] Make a git repository for the project
+- [ ] Start the homepage
+- [ ] Add authorized users area to website
+  - [ ] write webservice access control configuration
+  - [ ] create seed password file and set permissions
+  - [ ] create authorized user landing page
+  - [ ] add login form to homepage
+  - [ ] configure feil2ban to guard login form and protected
+    resources
+- [-] Add simple file upload
+  - [X] install CGI::Upload
+  - [ ] create file upload CGI program in Perl
+    - [ ] accept/require the following multi-part form-data:
+      - file-stream (0bytes .. 1.2GB limit)
+      - filename (required, generate if none, don't error
+        unless stream is also zero bytes)
+      - title (text field, optional, becomes commit short
+        description)
+      - description (textarea, optional, becomes commit
+        message body)
+      - overwrite (optional, checkbox; when form passes a
+        truthy value overwrite, otherwise error)
+      - files are placed in users home directories into
+        ~/Uploads which is a symlink to
+        /srv/git/<username>/Uploads
+        - upon first use by user, create this directory
+          structure and initialize git within the upload
+          folder
+      - git commit upon successfully writing the uploaded
+        file to disc
+  - [ ] install within protected site area
+  - [ ] add file browser for Upload area (CGIT probably, but web
+    server allow-indexing might be fine)
+- [ ] create system users and groups, configure rsync
+- [ ] Add system users/keys for alpha users/testers
+- [ ] Add user settings to website
+- [ ] Add user sync settings to website
+- [ ] Add live-cast to website
+  - [ ] audio
+  - [ ] video
+- [ ] Add live-editor page to website
+  - [ ] audio
+  - [ ] video
+- [ ] Create projects area (ability for users to create system groups
+  and for the various tools to save/load/use them)
+- [ ] Add user privacy flag and ability to browse non-private users, add
+  them to projects, and share uploaded files and open mixes or
+  active streams with them
+- [ ] Add ability for users to generate share-with-me links so private
+  users can invite specific people to share directly with them
+

+1 Development Log
+=================
+
+  `2025-05-16' bought this domain several years back to host a javscript
+  based audio editor I made; I was thinking of making it edit video,
+  sync audio with video, etc. tedious chores which, like clipping big
+  audio files into little ones and annotating them with meta-data, is
+  more fun when several people work together on a given project.
+  Recently, other projects have necessitated additional tooling for
+  arbitrary ad-hoc data-sharing between peers. Things like file sharing
+  on the go or throwing a hunk of audio from one person another in
+  near-real-time have been coming up a lot so it seemed to make sense to
+  re purpose this project somewhat more generally, so it can serve as a
+  "big tent" for working on these problems.  Created an initial repo for
+  sources for this on my gitea instance.
