# POWR Social Features Design Document

## Problem Statement
POWR needs to integrate social features that leverage the Nostr protocol while maintaining a local-first architecture. The system must provide a seamless way for users to share workout content, receive feedback, and engage with the fitness community without compromising the standalone functionality of the application. Additionally, the implementation must support future integration with value-exchange mechanisms through Nostr Wallet Connect.

## Requirements

### Functional Requirements
- Custom Nostr event types for exercises, workout templates, and workout records
- Social sharing of workout content via NIP-19 references
- Content management including deletion requests
- Comment system on exercises, templates, and workout records
- Reactions and likes on shared content
- App discovery through NIP-89 handlers
- Support for zaps and Lightning payments via NWC
- Ability to track template usage and popularity
- User profile and content discovery
- Local-first storage with Nostr sync capabilities

### Non-Functional Requirements
- Performance: Social content loads within 500ms when online
- Security: User private keys are never exposed to the application
- Reliability: All created content must be usable offline
- Usability: Social interactions should be intuitive and seamlessly integrated
- Privacy: Users control what content gets shared publicly
- Scalability: System handles thousands of exercise templates and workout records

## Design Decisions

### 1. Custom Event Kinds vs. Standard Kinds
**Approach**: Use custom event kinds (33401, 33402, 1301) for exercises, templates, and workout records rather than generic kind 1 events.

**Rationale**:
- Custom kinds enable clear data separation and easier filtering
- Avoids confusion between social posts and fitness data
- Enables specialized app handlers via NIP-89
- Aligns with best practices for specialized content types
- Enables distinct validation rules for each content type

**Trade-offs**:
- Requires implementing NIP-89 app handlers for client support
- Less immediate visibility in generic Nostr clients
- Needs additional social sharing mechanism for discovery

### 2. Template-Record Relationship
**Approach**: Implement standalone workout records with explicit references to templates.

**Rationale**:
- Cleaner separation between templates and completed workouts
- More flexible for workouts that modify templates
- Better support for offline-first usage
- Simplifies synchronization logic
- Easier to implement privacy controls

**Trade-offs**:
- Requires custom queries to track template usage
- Doesn't leverage built-in reply notification systems
- Additional relationship management logic needed

### 3. Comments Implementation
**Approach**: Use NIP-22 generic comments system with proper reference structure.

**Rationale**:
- Standardized approach compatible with existing Nostr clients
- Supports threaded conversations
- Clear distinction between content and comments
- Integrates with existing notification systems
- Simple to implement using established patterns

**Trade-offs**:
- Requires filtering to display relevant comments
- Additional UI components for comment display
- Need for moderation tools (client-side filtering)

### 4. Nostr Wallet Connect Integration
**Approach**: Implement NIP-47 Nostr Wallet Connect for Lightning payments and zaps.

**Rationale**:
- Secure payment capabilities without managing private keys
- Enables zaps on workout content
- Creates opportunities for creator compensation
- Integrates with existing Nostr Lightning infrastructure
- Future-proofs for monetization features

**Trade-offs**:
- Additional complexity in wallet connection management
- Dependency on external wallet implementations
- Requires careful error handling for payment flows

### 5. Content Publishing and Deletion Workflow
**Approach**: Implement a three-tier approach to content sharing with NIP-09 deletion requests.

**Rationale**:
- Gives users control over content visibility
- Maintains local-first philosophy
- Provides clear separation between private and public data
- Follows Nostr standards for content management
- Enables social sharing while maintaining specialized data format

**Trade-offs**:
- Deletion on Nostr is not guaranteed across all relays
- Additional UI complexity to explain publishing/deletion states
- Need to track content state across local storage and relays

## Technical Design

};

// Find deletion requests for an addressable event
const addressableDeletionRequestQuery = {
  kinds: [5],
  "#a": [`${kind}:${pubkey}:${dTag}`]
};
```

## Event Publishing and Deletion Implementation

### Publishing Workflow

POWR implements a three-tier approach to content publishing:

1. **Local Only**
   - Content is saved only to the device's local storage
   - No Nostr events are published
   - Content is completely private to the user

2. **Publish to Relays**
   - Content is saved locally and published to user-selected relays
   - Published as appropriate Nostr events (33401, 33402, 1301)
   - Content becomes discoverable by compatible apps via NIP-89
   - Local copy is marked as "published to relays"

3. **Social Sharing**
   - Content is published to relays as in step 2
   - Additionally, a kind:1 social post is created
   - The social post quotes the specialized content
   - Makes content visible in standard Nostr social clients
   - Links back to the specialized content via NIP-19 references

### Deletion Workflow

POWR implements NIP-09 for deletion requests:

1. **Local Deletion**
   - Content is removed from local storage only
   - No effect on previously published relay content
   - User maintains control over local data independent of relay status

2. **Relay Deletion Request**
   - Creates a kind:5 deletion request event
   - References the content to be deleted
   - Includes the kind of content being deleted
   - Published to relays that had the original content
   - Original content may remain in local storage if desired

3. **Complete Deletion**
   - Combination of local deletion and relay deletion request
   - Content is removed locally and requested for deletion from relays
   - Any social shares remain unless specifically deleted

### Example Implementation

```typescript
// Publishing Content
async function publishExerciseTemplate(exercise) {
  // Save locally first
  const localId = await localDb.saveExercise(exercise);
  
  // If user wants to publish to relays
  if (exercise.publishToRelays) {
    // Create Nostr event
    const event = {
      kind: 33401,
      pubkey: userPubkey,
      created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
      tags: [
        ["d", localId],
        ["title", exercise.title],
        ["format", ...Object.keys(exercise.format)],
        ["format_units", ...formatUnitsToArray(exercise.format_units)],
        ["equipment", exercise.equipment],
        ...exercise.tags.map(tag => ["t", tag])
      ],
      content: exercise.description || ""
    };
    
    // Sign and publish
    event.id = getEventHash(event);
    event.sig = signEvent(event, userPrivkey);
    await publishToRelays(event);
    
    // Update local record to reflect published status
    await localDb.markAsPublished(localId, event.id);
    
    // If user wants to share socially
    if (exercise.shareAsSocialPost) {
      await createSocialShare(event, exercise.socialShareText || "Check out this exercise!");
    }
    
    return { localId, eventId: event.id };
  }
  
  return { localId };
}

// Requesting Deletion
async function requestDeletion(eventId, eventKind, options = {}) {
  const { deleteLocally = false, reason = "" } = options;
  
  // Create deletion request
  const deletionRequest = {
    kind: 5,
    pubkey: userPubkey,
    created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
    tags: [
      ["e", eventId],
      ["k", eventKind.toString()]
    ],
    content: reason
  };
  
  // Sign and publish
  deletionRequest.id = getEventHash(deletionRequest);
  deletionRequest.sig = signEvent(deletionRequest, userPrivkey);
  await publishToRelays(deletionRequest);
  
  // Update local storage
  await localDb.markAsDeletedFromRelays(eventId);
  
  // Delete locally if requested
  if (deleteLocally) {
    await localDb.deleteContentLocally(eventId);
  }
  
  return deletionRequest;
}

// Request deletion of addressable event
async function requestAddressableDeletion(kind, pubkey, dTag, options = {}) {
  const { deleteLocally = false, reason = "" } = options;
  
  const deletionRequest = {
    kind: 5,
    pubkey: userPubkey,
    created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
    tags: [
      ["a", `${kind}:${pubkey}:${dTag}`],
      ["k", kind.toString()]
    ],
    content: reason
  };
  
  // Sign and publish
  deletionRequest.id = getEventHash(deletionRequest);
  deletionRequest.sig = signEvent(deletionRequest, userPrivkey);
  await publishToRelays(deletionRequest);
  
  // Update local storage
  await localDb.markAddressableEventAsDeletedFromRelays(kind, pubkey, dTag);
  
  // Delete locally if requested
  if (deleteLocally) {
    await localDb.deleteAddressableContentLocally(kind, pubkey, dTag);
  }
  
  return deletionRequest;
}

// Check for deletion requests when viewing content
async function checkDeletionStatus(eventId) {
  const deletionRequests = await ndk.fetchEvents({
    kinds: [5],
    "#e": [eventId]
  });
  
  for (const request of deletionRequests) {
    // Verify the deletion request is from the original author
    if (request.pubkey === event.pubkey) {
      return { isDeleted: true, request };
    }
  }
  
  return { isDeleted: false };
}
```

## User Interface Design

### Content Status Indicators

The UI should clearly indicate the status of fitness content:

1. **Local Only**
   - Visual indicator showing content is only on device
   - Options to publish to relays or share socially

2. **Published to Relays**
   - Indicator showing content is published
   - Display relay publishing status
   - Option to create social share

3. **Socially Shared**
   - Indicator showing content has been shared socially
   - Link to view social post
   - Stats on social engagement (comments, reactions)

4. **Deletion Requested**
   - Indicator showing deletion has been requested
   - Option to delete locally if not already done
   - Explanation that deletion from all relays cannot be guaranteed

### Deletion Interface

The UI for deletion should be clear and informative:

1. **Deletion Options**
   - "Delete Locally" - Removes from device only
   - "Request Deletion from Relays" - Issues NIP-09 deletion request
   - "Delete Completely" - Both local and relay deletion

2. **Confirmation Dialog**
   - Clear explanation of deletion scope
   - Warning that relay deletion is not guaranteed
   - Option to provide reason for deletion (for relay requests)

3. **Deletion Status**
   - Visual indicator for content with deletion requests
   - Option to view deletion request details
   - Ability to check status across relays
