We may include links to the [./repos](repos) which are other repositories involved. These are typically located in the parent directory, so we recommend users create a soft link to that directory, eg `ln -s .. repos`
### Strategic Planning Files
### Planning Files
This project uses a structured planning system located in `doc/` to maintain strategic clarity and provide context for AI conversations:
- **[Strategic Overview](./strategic-overview.md)** - Long-term vision and goals
- **[Project Inventory](./projects.md)** - Complete repository status
- **[Success Metrics](./metrics.md)** - KPIs and measurement framework
- **[Goal & Task Relationships](./project.task.yaml)** - Overall goals and tasks with hour estimates and dependencies ([format spec](https://taskyaml.org))
#### Major Initiatives
In the [task breakdown doc](./project.task.yaml) these are some of the largest initiatives.
- **[P2P Mesh Network](./tech/progress/PROJECT-mesh-network.md)** (~1000h) - Decentralized data sharing via LoRa mesh networks
- **[Voice Input](./tech/progress/PROJECT-voice-input.md)** (~400h) - Voice-to-text with on-device processing
- **[Contacts Integration](./tech/progress/PROJECT-contacts.md)** (~80h) - Device contacts integration for direct messaging

### 2. Technical Infrastructure
- **Goal**: Build robust, decentralized platform ecosystem
- **Components**: Time Safari app + Endorser Server + supporting tools
- **Success Indicator**: P2P network capability with user-controlled data migration
- **Timeline**: 2-3 years
### 2. Community Connections
- **Goal**: Achieve meaningful interactions with network effects
- **Success Indicator**:
- Growth of the number of connections to local people with the same interests (which equates to a shrinking of loneliness)

## Core Principles
- Open source everything
- Open source everything as gifts to the world
- Sustainable projects (profit is not extravagant)
- Benefit as many people as possible, as quickly as possible
- Enable alternative ways of supporting one another outside traditional money exchange
- Cryptographically-signed claims with user-controlled privacy
- Cryptographically-provable claims with user-controlled privacy

# Contacts App
# Contacts Integration
Problem: no cross-platform contact-management app that allow
Problem: Time Safari contacts are not linked to a person's device contacts.
## Goal & Value Proposition
- Allow links between Time Safari data and a person's contacts.
- Allow a user to open a contact channel directly to a contact, in whichever messaging or other app they choose.
- Allow a user to send a message or automated request to a group of contacts.
This allows people to manage their contacts as they choose, and allows users to leverage them to take action to check or glean information about things in the network they may not currently see.
