CompareWare: Next Steps

Immediate Steps

Autocompletion for Adding Items and Properties:

• Fetch all properties for items from wikidata.
• Autofill propertiy field with available properties for said item.
• Add a fallback to redirect users to the Wikidata item creation page when a search fails.

Authentication

• Enable authentication for users using Nsec.app.

Subjective Properties with Nostr Integration:

• Add a toggle for "objective" (Wikidata) vs. "subjective" (Nostr-backed) properties.
• Store subjective properties locally first and publish them to a Nostr relay for decentralized edits.

Cache Mechanism:

• Use a lightweight database (e.g., SQLite or a key-value store like Redis) as a cache for frequently accessed items and properties.
• Implement cache invalidation for edits to ensure the latest data is fetched.

Advanced Features

Advanced Filtering and Sorting:

• Add functionality to filter items by tags or properties.
• Enable sorting by property values.

Item Suggestions:

• Based on properties and tags, suggest items for comparison.

Collaborative Comparison:

• Enable real-time collaboration with WebSockets, allowing users to view and edit comparisons together.

Export/Share Comparison:

• Add options to export the comparison as a CSV or share it via a unique link.
