Editing Lightfoot (section)

== TODO ==

* if people are interested best if they join https://www.trustroots.org/circles/lightfoot - we can later sound out newsletters to the people in this group
* fix the display of https://www.trustroots.org/circles/lightfoot at https://www.trustroots.org/circles - deploy increased hardcoded limit on circles, from 50 to 150
* https://tripch.at/#lightfoot
* archive.org is overwhelmed with sustainable post stuff, but try to recover some pics: web.archive.org/web/20131010064736im_/http://sustainablepost.org/sites/default/files/logo.png web.archive.org/web/20110905152403im_/http://sustainablepost.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/node-teaser/IMG_4533.jpg

=== Questions ===

;Leon> So I got the technical side of it, but the user side means that for lightfoot, there is a postable note for boxes?

Yeah technically, MVPish I see a box as a permanent (but deletable) note posted by user with a geohash (precision determined by user) and #lightfootbox tag.
(If the box is with a community we'll see how that works, in practice for the foreseeable future it just means one person of the community has an nsec...)

;L> Might be fun to think about how public boxes could look like, perhaps cooperating with hackerspaces to host them + physical relays that notify about presence of letters or something similar

Love it.  Has potential for any kind of community spaces, ecovillages, squats, ZADs...
Presence of letters can simply be a <tt>#lightfootletter @geohash</tt> notification for a user, e.g. with https://github.com/Trustroots/nostr-email-notification-daemon and/or https://github.com/Trustroots/notification-daemon

;L> Do you think about adding letter information to the Nostr implementation of that or does it take away from the magic of searching for a letter?

Flexible.  Doesn't seem needed, but could be a nice additional feature.
Can be interesting to suggest writing a geohash as a destination on a letter.


=== MVP stub ===

tech:
* One page HTML+CSS+JS vibe code
* Show map and list with <tt>#lightfootbox</tt>es
* Log in with nsec

note data, also input form:
* geohash
* #lightfootbox
* kind 1 for simplicity and exposure? reconsider later?
* availability options: public 247 / trustroots profile / contact nsec/npub


grow:
* Do any past spaces still have a box?
* We can post it from a lightfoot nsec/npub to kickstart
* Blog post / newsletter to all TR subscribers




--------------------------------

Real letters. Not a complex pattern of zeros and ones, transmitted via dubious technology of uncertain consequences, but real paper, written in your personal hand, carrying your scent and trace oils from your fingertips, your creativity, and your unique, one-of-a-kind style. There's something pure that inspires trust when a handwritten letter is delivered; a personal touch that strengthens your community, however far away they may be, in a way that the internet simply could never do. With Lightfoot Sustainable Post, you can have fun staying in touch, and add extra color to your correspondence: it's no ordinary postman that arrives, but a light-footed traveler, with a smile and a story about the letter's journey. Perhaps YOU'RE the postal deputy, closing the circle of personal contact that is normally so intangible with commercial mail services. And even if you're not a deputy, you simply send mail through Lightfoot - imagine the reaction from that friend you haven't seen in months, that family member, or that lucky loved one, when they answer the door to a smiling stranger holding a note or a package especially delivered just for them. De-light-ful!

And Lightfoot is sustainable delivery - no worries about participating in an industry of waste; no "grey area" environmental safety mysteries, no "par avion" sticker.
Instead of relying on oil-dependent aircraft to speed around the world leaving chemicals in their wake, your letter will be carried by a Lightfoot deputy, a trustworthy volunteer that's already headed that way, eco-friendly and traveling Light.

Write letters, connect communities.

Share your creativity, share your travels, share your space. Protect our Earth! Choose the Lightfoot Way!
