# Model
|
||||
|
||||
A reasonable mental model of Tilde Friends is as a virtual computer. User
|
||||
interace is through a web browser. Communication with the outside world is
|
||||
through the Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) network protocol. Persistence is through
|
||||
an SSB store and an additional key-value store in an sqlite database.
|
||||
|
||||
The schema for the sqlite database is primarily a `messages` table and a
|
||||
`blobs` table, which are what one would expect from the SSB specifications.
|
||||
|
||||
```dot
|
||||
digraph {
|
||||
web_browser -> tilde_friends_web_interface [dir=both];
|
||||
web_browser [shape=rect,label="Web Browser"];
|
||||
subgraph cluster_tilde_friends {
|
||||
label = "Tilde Friends";
|
||||
tilde_friends_web_interface -> example_app [dir=both];
|
||||
subgraph cluster_sandbox {
|
||||
label = "app sandbox";
|
||||
example_app;
|

}
