 This describes the overall purpose and design across code repositories.
 
-The Endorser Server is an HTTP API service that allows recording of cryptographically signed assertions in a privacy-preserving fashion. Each participant chooses whether to allow any other participant to see their name attached to activity. The service is a convenient way to get basic functions; we expect to provide direct P2P communications to support the same functionality for anyone who wants the alternative.
-
-Web and mobile apps allow users to interact with the Endorser Server. The endorser-mobile project is a powerful interface but is not very user-friendly.
-
 The Time Safari project (in the crowd-funder-for-time-pwa repository) is a front-end to make it intuitive and interesting to help people connect over activities. The intent is to enable people to find others with similar interests, to start activities and relationships via offers of help, and to encourage creative experiments for deeper and more widespread connections.
 
 There are 3 kinds of actions in Time Safari:
 
-- Offers of help, to individuals or projects, which can be fulfilled by subsequent gives
-
 - Gives, recognizing something given (whether time or physical goods) and the resulting impact
 
+- Offers of help, to individuals or projects, which can be fulfilled by subsequent gives
+
 - Projects, which aggregate offers and/or gives for a common purpose

 ### Structure
 
 The primary repos contain the majority of the functionality; the secondary repos are helpful but not absolutely necessary.

+# Emojis
+
+Allow people to attach an emoji onto a record. The main entity to which emojis will be attached is the "GiveAction", ie. items that show on the front page (though technically we won't limit attachment entity types).
+
+## Feature Design Checklist
+
+### 1. Data Structure Design
+**Emoji Claim Structure:**
+- [ ] **Type**: `"Comment"` 
+- [ ] **Text**: Contains emoji(s) and only emojis - e.g., `"👍"`, `"❤️🎉"`, or `"🚀"`
+- [ ] **ParentItem**: Object with `identifier` field containing the handleId of the target action (e.g., GiveAction)
+- [ ] **Context**: Follow existing claim pattern with `"@context": "https://schema.org"` (optional?)
+- [x] The issuer is the "agent" attaching the emojis.
+
+### 2. Database Schema Design
+**New Table: `comment_claim`**
+- [ ] Standard claim fields: `jwtId`, `handleId`, `issuerDid`, `issuedAt`, `claimType`
+- [ ] Emoji-specific fields: `text`, `parentItemIdentifier`, `parentItemType`, `emojiOnly` (boolean)
+- [ ] Indexes on `parentItemIdentifier` for efficient retrieval
+- [ ] Consider emoji count aggregation strategy (computed vs. cached)
+
+### 3. API Endpoint Design
+**Submission Endpoint:**
+- [ ] `POST /api/v2/claim` (reuse existing claim submission)
+- [ ] Validate Comment claim structure
+- [ ] Store in `comment_claim` table
+- [ ] Return standard claim response with `claimId` and `handleId`
+- [ ] Add to emjoi count of the parent if `give_claim`, `offer_claim`, or `plan_claim`
+
+**Retrieval Endpoints:**
+- [ ] `GET /api/v2/report/comments?parentItemId=<handleId>` - Get all emojis for an item
+  - Consider storing all emojis in a record for quick retrieval for any particular entity.
+
+### 4. GiveAction Enhancement
+**Modify existing endpoints:**
+- [ ] Add `emojiCount` field to `GiveSummaryRecord` interface
+- [ ] Update `dbService.getGives*` methods to include emoji counts
+
+### 5. Client-Side Interface Design
+**New TypeScript Interfaces:**
+```typescript
+export interface CommentClaim extends ClaimObject {
+  "@context": "https://schema.org";
+  "@type": "Comment";
+  text: string;
+  parentItem: { identifier: string };
+}
+
+### 6. Authentication & Authorization
+- [ ] Emojis require valid JWT authentication (like other claims)
+- [ ] Any authenticated user can add emojis to any public GiveAction
+- [ ] Users can only retrieve emojis they have permission to see (follow existing visibility rules)
+- [ ] Consider rate limiting for emoji submissions
+
+### 7. Validation Rules
+**Content Validation:**
+- [ ] Text length limit (e.g., 280 characters like Twitter)
+- [ ] Unicode emoji validation (optional - could allow any text)
+- [ ] Prevent empty or whitespace-only submissions
+- [ ] Sanitize text input for security
+
+**Business Rules:**
+- [ ] One emoji submission per user per item (or allow multiple?)
+- [ ] Prevent self-emoji on own GiveActions (optional business rule)
+- [ ] Consider moderation capabilities for inappropriate content
+
+### 8. Performance Considerations
+**Counting Strategy:**
+- [ ] Option A: Real-time COUNT queries (simple, always accurate)
+- [ ] Option B: Cached counts with periodic updates (faster, eventual consistency)
+- [ ] Option C: Trigger-based count maintenance (complex but efficient)
+
+**Indexing:**
+- [ ] Index on `parentItemIdentifier` for emoji retrieval
+- [ ] Composite index on `(parentItemIdentifier, issuerDid)` if preventing duplicates
+- [ ] Consider pagination for items with many emojis
+
+### 9. Database Migration
+- [ ] Create new `comment_claim` table following existing patterns
+- [ ] Add `emojiCount` column to relevant summary tables (optional optimization)
+- [ ] Update database service methods
+- [ ] Test migration with existing data
+
+### 10. API Documentation
+- [ ] Update Swagger documentation for new endpoints
+- [ ] Document Comment claim structure
+- [ ] Provide examples of emoji submission and retrieval
+- [ ] Document rate limits and validation rules
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+This design follows the existing Endorser Server patterns:
+- [ ] Reuses the proven JWT claim submission system
+- [ ] Follows the established database and API patterns
+- [ ] Maintains consistency with existing visibility and authentication rules
+- [ ] Supports the distributed/P2P vision by storing emojis as signed claims
+
+The emoji feature will integrate seamlessly with the existing GiveAction display system, showing emoji counts alongside other give information and providing a separate endpoint for detailed emoji retrieval when users want to see who reacted and with what emojis.

+# Starred projects & change notifications
+
+- ✅ Allow Time Safari users to mark projects with a "star" such that their local app has those projects stored in settings. **COMPLETED**
+
+After that is finished, we'll add this functionality:
+
+- ✅ Use or write an endpoint in endorser-ch to accept a list of project IDs and a "most recent" claim ID (and potentially a date) and retrieve all the projects which have changed since that date. Use both a GET and a POST approach in case there are many IDs. **COMPLETED**
+
+- Add a notification for "starred projects with changes" on the front page of Time Safari, much like the other two notifications that are in the NewActivityList.vue page.
