Cabildo

Cabildo — the public forum for Hypersnap.

Cabildo is an open-source async forum for Hypersnap builders: questions, proposals, node support, research, and protocol memory.

Discord is good for conversation. Cabildo is for memory.

Why

Hypersnap needs public, searchable coordination:

• protocol questions with durable answers
• improvement proposals and decision history
• node operator support
• research notes and explainers
• onboarding knowledge that does not vanish into chat scrollback

Product principles

• English-first UX for the current Hypersnap developer community.
• Open-source by default.
• Protocol-native where possible.
• Local database only for app metadata: tags, proposal status, moderation labels, search cache, indexing state.
• No token gating and no closed knowledge silo.

Protocol adapter notes

The current Snapchain container exposes gRPC services from /app/proto, including:

• HubService.GetCastsByParent
• HubService.GetCastsByFid
• HubService.GetReactionsByTarget
• HubService.GetConnectedPeers
• HubService.SubmitMessage

Cabildo's long-term data model should map:

• forum posts → casts
• replies → cast replies / thread edges
• votes → reactions
• categories/tags/status → app metadata

Development

npm install
npm run dev

Build

npm run build
npm run lint

Status

This repo currently contains the public landing/prototype surface. The next milestone is the read adapter that indexes Hypersnap/Snapchain casts into forum threads.
