+## Design
+
+The main design is to have a Store application, which manages its storage. Then other services are used to capture data from services and throw to Store, or retrieve information for Store to be displayed.
+
+Currently, I'm considering the following Captures (based on my own life):
+
+- [ ] Mastodon
+- [ ] RSS
+- [ ] Guild Wars 2
+- [ ] Steam Capturer (?)
+- [ ] Netflix
+- [ ] Deezer
+- [ ] Calendar/CalDav
+
+### Store
+
+The main application that keeps information. We would probably need a design like:
+
+- id: UUID of the record
+- title: String, produced by a Capturer
+- content: Text, produced by a Capturer, must always be Markdown (to avoid having a format that needs to be specially processed by some viewer)
+- source: Name of the Capturer
+- meta: HashMap, with some information the Capturer has about the entry
+
+### Mastodon Capturer
+
+There are two options for a Mastodon Capturer: A pure RSS reader or a full-fledged Mastodon client. A client would probably capture things send in private and such, which seem better.
+
+Need to store, locally:
+
+- id: Toot ID
+
+We need only the ID 'cause we don't want to duplicate content; once the client finds a toot in its own database, it stops reading from the source and don't send it to the Store.
+
+As content send to the Store, we'd use a template like
+
+```
+{% if content_warning %}
+  ({{ content_warning}})
+{% endif %}
+
+{{ content }}
+```
