+# Indymedia Reboot
+
+Gotta start somewhere and where better than usage code first.
+
+
+## Mockup
+
+To get a better feel for the content and how it will be interacted with, we
+start with the front end, trusting it will better inform us on how to shape the
+back.
+
+While the desktop format reflects the original Indymedia layout, we must design
+a responsive layout, ~~annoyingly~~ mobile-first for obvious reasons.
+
+We also must preserve accessibility and retain a readable page regardless of
+whether a user is accessing without JS, or with a command line browser, or a
+text reader, etc.
+
+_Any_ JS that is used must only provide enhanced function and can never be the
+only way to get something done.
+
+
+## TODO
+
+- [ ] Get public-facing mockup clean enough and behaving acceptably for most
+      screen sizes
+- [ ] Article editor
+  - Markdown-only ?
+    - This allows for writing articles even without JS
+  - Do we need any functionality that markdown doesn't provide?
+- [ ] Database
+  - Built around semantic web, hashtags, flow, ...
+  - Fast to search by tag(s)
+- [ ] Newswire and Publishing (I/O)
+  - [ ] RSS
+  - [ ] ActivityPub
+  - [ ] Other?
