Feeds

Simple Summary

Feeds enable multiple peers that have been mandated by the same identity to keep track and synchronize objects the create and receive.

Problem statement

There is currently no way for peers to synchronize with other peers with similar mandates the data they care about.

For example a group of applications of the same user don't have a way to make sure they know of all the conversations the user is having access to between all the different applications they are using.

Proposal

Each peer has a number of "registered types", these are the data types the application can consume or create.

For each of those types, a feed will be created and synchronized with peers of the same identity.
