**Attendees**

- glyph
- notplants
- Sebastian
- rabble
- Martin
- Matt Lorentz

**Agenda**

Questions from PeachCloud team:

- How are things going with the go-ssb refactor?
- Is there a roadmap with feature prioritisation?
- Are you aiming for complete parity with the cryptoscope implementation?
- Context: we're wondering when we might transition PeachCloud from cryptoscope to the refactored version
- How does Planetary achieve functionality of [ssb-backlinks](https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-backlinks) in their non-JavaScript stack?
- For example, how do you get all the votes for a particular post?
- Is there a chat platform we can use for having ongoing communication with the Planetary dev team as we work with the go-ssb stack?
- For chat about features, bugs, configuration, workarounds etc.
- notplants ran into a bug that they're unsure about: ['sbotcli hist' returns error](https://github.com/cryptoscope/ssb/issues/126) and would like to try planetary/go-ssb to see if the same issue arises

**Notes**

- Matt chatting about the go-ssb refactor
- Seems to be going really well
- boreq is reorganising some of the pieces to make them easier to test and maintain: [repo](https://github.com/planetary-social/go-ssb)
- Replication is working, basic blobs stuff is working
- Blocking is not yet working
- No private message support yet
- Feature parity? Maybe not
- Database (storage) layer going in a slightly different direction
- cryptoscope uses a flume-like model: one big log with all the feeds + indexes
- boreq is using a key-value store
- Will be less powerful in terms of client-side interactions
- Planetary uses a SQLite DB on top of the cryptoscope logs; queries for the Planetary frontend and made up from the SQL DB
- Some expensive processing can be done up-front. For example, copying messages into the SQLite DB in the background
- Someone could write a library that could implement these different DB layers over the top of the refactored go-ssb. E.g. SQL or graphql
