#Decentralized #Module #Federation #Microfrontend #Architecture

I'm working on a #webapp and I'm being #creative on the #approach. It might be considered #overcomplicated (because it is), but I'm just trying something out. It's entirely possible this approach won't work #longterm. I see it as there is #onewaytofindout. I don't recommend this approach. Just sharing what I'm trying/#investigating.

How it will be #architected: [positive-intentions.com/blog/d
Some #benefits of the #approach: [positive-intentions.com/blog/s

I find that #modulefederation and #microfrontends to generally be #discouraged when I see posts, but I think it works for me in my #approach. I'm #optimistic about the approach and the #benefits and so I wanted to #share details.

When I serve the #federatedmodules, I can also host the #storybook statics so I think this could be a good way to #document the modules in #isolation.

#Cryptography modules - cryptography.positive-intentio

#P2P framework - p2p.positive-intentions.com/?p

This way, I can create #microfrontends that consume these #modules. I can then #share the #functionality between #apps. The following apps are using a different codebase from each other (there is a #distinction between these apps in #opensource and #closesource). Sharing those #dependencies could help make it easier to roll out #updates to #coremechanics.

#P2P chat - [chat.positive-intentions.com/]
#P2P file transfer - [file.positive-intentions.com/]

The #functionality also works when I create an #Android build with #Tauri. This could also lead to it being easier to create #newapps that could use the #modules created.

I'm sure there will be some distinct #test/#maintenance #overhead, but depending on how it's #architected I think it could work and make it easier to #improve on the current #implementation.

Everything about the #project is far from finished. It could be seen as this is a #complicated way to do what #npm does, but I think this #approach allows for greater #flexibility by being able to #separate #opensource and #closesource code for the #web. (Of course as #javascript, it will always be "source code available". Especially in the age of #AI, I'm sure it's possible to #reverseengineer it like never before.)

(mastodon might not be the place for something like this, so let me know if you dont like this kind of content. i typically post on reddit and would like to shift it more towards mastodon. i also use lemmy, but mastodon has a better reach.)

I mean, these ain't like in the old days where a few Megabytes got you #Pidgin and other Multi-Protocol Clients of the old days where everyone had to implement bespoke, custom and incompatible and *often completely undocumented, proprietary * protocols like #ICQ, #AIM, #SIPE, etc.

  • Nowadays all these do have some kind of #WebApp or Web Interface one can just login (because *none of them do proper #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the keys!) so this should be way easier these days: All they do is do HTTP(S) GET/POST so the most critical part is to attain credentials like a #Login #cookie and to basically run a console on i.e. #Firefox to reverse-engineer the #API...

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.

My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal ¹ ², #Telegram, #Discord ³, #WhatsApp ⁴, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:

  • WHY is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?

  • WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can??

This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)

So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidgin for garbage platforms!

  • Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!

  • Can we please get that back? Cuz #WastefulComputing pisses me off!
