my new website
Design principles:
All users are on equal footing
Creating an account is invite-only
A user can create any number of named galleries
A gallery contains any number of works. Works can be single images, audio recordings, writings (equivalent to blog posts), or conversations A gallery can be styled for sequential access (e.g. a webcomic) or random access or tag-based access or whatever.
A conversation defaults to temporary unless all participants agree to save it as a work (which is then shared between their galleries)
oh that's right we need to support multi-author works (either person can edit)
you can post a work with "invitation to discuss" which creates a conversation attached to it, kind of like a comment thread but the default is no comments
Possible integration with real social media sites? like, option to cross-post from here to whatever site, or pull in content from whatever site to here?
There's a chronological page of "new stuff" from one user (or from multiple users aggregated?) but the default presentation is gallery-based
