general thoughts - messenger

[timoweiss]

• each message as doc
• each message has reverence to its conversation
• a message can have different types (properties)
  • text-messages
  • location as message
  • ...
• messages can be retrieved paged (eg. page=0, elements=100)
• conversations should scale with multiple users (rudel)

POST create conversation
GET conversations
GET conversation
GET messages by conversation id

---

maybe:

• GET users by conversation

... TBD

@locator-kn/frontend to prevent relentless acknowledgements of messages we can update the last_read read property only when a user

• leaves the current conversation
• closes the app (suspended/fully closed)
