The Seven Priorities (2026)

This document outlines the next seven major strategic arcs for the Agora, prioritized for impact and feasibility. Created on [[2026-01-20]].

1. Hyper-Personalization (The "My" Agora)

• Goal: Make the Agora feel like home for logged-in users.
• Tactics:
  • Roaming Prefs: Sync localStorage settings to the user’s garden (e.g., @user/preferences.yaml) via the Bullpen so they persist across devices.
  • Custom Dashboard: Allow users to pin nodes or set a custom start_node.
  • Reading Queue: functional "Mark as Read" / "Read Later" queue.

2. Semantic Search (Vector Embeddings)

• Goal: Move beyond "Fuzzy" search to true "Meaning" search.
• Tactics:
  • Embeddings: Generate vector embeddings for subnodes using sentence-transformers (local) or API.
  • Storage: Use sqlite-vec (or FAISS) alongside agora.db for low-overhead vector search.
  • UI: "Find similar thoughts" button.

3. Agentic Reading (Agora Skill V2)

• Goal: Empower the agent to truly read and navigate the garden.
• Tactics:
  • Content Fetching: Upgrade scripts/agora.py in the Skill repo to call agora-server APIs (like /api/synthesize or /raw) to get text content, not just URLs.
  • Recursive Research: Enable the agent to follow links autonomously.
  • Constraint: Keep the Skill repo code-light; relying on Server APIs.

4. Federation: System Boosts

• Goal: Lightweight federation interaction before full identity.
• Tactics:
  • System Boost: Allow the @agora system user to "Boost" (Announce) external posts or local subnodes to the Fediverse.
  • Benefit: Increases visibility of content without needing per-user OAuth yet.

5. Narrative / Book View

• Goal: Linearize the graph into a readable sequence.
• Tactics:
  • Playlists: Curate an ordered list of nodes ([[Chapter 1]] -> [[Chapter 2]]).
  • Reader Mode: Render these sequentially in a single view.
  • Seamless Navigation: Implement SPA-lite logic (fetch + swap content) to transition between nodes without full page reloads, preserving audio/demo state.
  • Nav: "Previous/Next" links in wide layouts.

6. Presence ("Who is Here?")

• Goal: Foster serendipity.
• Tactics:
  • Ephemeral State: Lightweight Redis or SQLite-backed tracking of active users on a node.
  • Privacy: Strictly opt-in and feature-flagged (ENABLE_PRESENCE).

7. Visual Graph 2.0

• Goal: Make the graph useful for navigation, not just visualization.
• Tactics:
  • Local Neighborhoods: Default to "Root + 2 Hops" to reduce noise.
  • Filtering: Toggle nodes by User or Tag.
  • Interactive: Click-to-focus without full page reload.
