notes

[ phase 1: leaner and cleaner ]

 x easy wins first
   x bump deps
	 x handle compiler warnings
	 x handle clippy warnings
	 x remove sensor code
	 x remove plotting dep

 x custom error type
   x remove anyhow and thiserror deps
	 x implement error type
	 x implement result type
   x implement From for each variant

 x remove ci (annoying for now)

[ phase 2: improve docs & deepen understanding ]

 x let's really understand this thing deeply before adding more to it
 x still need to do a lot of documenting
   x work through these files first and document for clarity of understanding
     x src/actors/rpc/history_stream.rs
     x src/storage/kv.rs

[ phase 3: write connection handler ]

 - first we need to store public keys of feeds we wish to replicate
   - this is currently stored in `solar.toml` as "friends"
   - might be good to split into `secret.toml` and `replicate.toml`
     - later we might move the content of `replicate.toml` into a kv
       - then we can track things like 'last replication event with xyz peer'
   - expose the ability to read and update `replicate.toml` via jsonrpc
 - conn-db
   - write a minimal api to open and update a kv store
     - consider basing it on rust HashMap interface or sled api (BTreeMap)
   - based on ssb-conn-db

[ phase 4: write ebt replication ]

-----

[ brainstorm ]

 - ability to pause replication
   - expose methods via jsonrpc server
   - add an additional match to the select! loop in src/actors/peer.rs
   - maybe track state in a separate actor (state machine)
   - this also opens the door to schedule replication
 - get list of feeds from the main kv database
   - `get_peers`
   - whose logs do we hold?
   - should match the friends list

-----

[ nice to haves... ]

 - replace serde with nanoserde or miniserde
   - eventually, replace in kuska-ssb too
