See Semi-Anonymous Hierarchy for more details on tiers.
The User data type should contain the following fields:
- Username - display only, does not have to be unique
- Email (optional, but retrievable if using Firebase Auth)
- User ID - internal use only, MUST BE UNIQUE!
- Creation Date
- Tier
- Submitted (array)
- Commented (array?)
- Bookmarked (array)
- How are we storing this information?
- What privacy laws do we have to adhere to?
- If user authentication is done separately (eg. with Firebase) we have to consider separate bandwidth costs. How do we limit reads/writes to the user database? Is there a way to cache it?
