a holochain-based reddit-like DAG-forum thing
A Wald (german for forest) is a collection of trees:
- Each Tree consists of a root, parentless comment (or subject) with comment children (replies).
- A comment may be a reply to multiple other comments.
- Any comment can have replies.
- New roots can be created.
- Comments can reply to comments from multiple trees, linking them.
- Comments are immutable, apart from deletion.
- As comments are immutable, they can only reply to comments older than themselves, creating a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAGs, so Hot right now).
- Users can vote on comments (once per user per comment, only up or down).
- How the Wald appears depends on view settings which change the representation of the tree via the order of comment children.
