The 'history' pages are now just monthly snapshots of the local timeline. This is ok and cheap and easy, but is problematic if you e.g. delete a post because it will be there in the history forever.
Idea for a new disk layout: timelines stored like in git (2 character directories and then the md5.json inside); two binary indexes ala Gruta, updated on input, 1) by inverse time, and 2) by parent + inverse time. Timelines are built by reading from 1 and consulting 2 for the nested children. This change a) simplifies timeline_write() and associated functions (no parent / grampa rewriting needed), b) no big glob() inverse functions on huge directories, so big histories won't be problematic.
Change the layout to be multi-user (2022-08-25T16:23:17+0200).
Read address:port from server.json (2022-08-26T09:14:08+0200).
Added an installation setup (2022-08-26T09:39:46+0200).

Ensure that likes and boosts are applied to the object instead of the container. More on this: for Mastodon, we're showing the '.../activity' link instead of the proper Note (2022-08-30T11:57:31+0200).
Fix signature checks (2022-08-30T18:32:22+0200).

Re-implement the renaming of updated messages in the local time (2022-09-04T05:58:51+0200).

Also replace Emoji tags in people's names (2022-09-05T23:00:29+0200).
Implement `Delete` + `Tombstone` on input (2022-09-07T09:20:20+0200).
Implement `Delete` + `Tombstone` on output (2022-09-07T09:42:09+0200).
Entries in the local timeline appear again after being shown in a thread. Try implementing an 'already shown entries' set (2022-09-07T11:21:52+0200).
The Delete button doesn't work for Likes and Announces (it points to the wrong message id) (2022-09-07T15:46:29+0200).
Document `server.json` in the admin manual (2022-09-08T11:01:43+0200).
Document the command-line interface in the user manual (2022-09-08T11:26:11+0200).
Document the web interface in the user manual (2022-09-08T14:00:11+0200).

Do not show `Like` or `Boost` buttons if that was already done (2022-09-12T19:29:04+0200).
Parents of a parent should also move up the timeline (2022-09-13T22:41:23+0200).
After 'Unfollow' or 'MUTE', the timeline should be rebuilt (regardless of the cached version) (2022-10-01T20:27:00+0200).
Should this user's notes with in_reply_to be resolved inside the object? (2022-10-01T20:27:52+0200).
Should admirations download the admired object into the timeline instead of resolving? (2022-10-01T20:27:52+0200).
Add a user configuration flag to hide likes from the timeline (2022-10-01T20:27:52+0200).
Implement an input queue (2022-10-01T20:27:52+0200).
Refactor HTML rendering because it's a mess and write build_timeline(), that generates a big structure with everything to show in a timeline, to be passed to the HTML renderer (2022-10-01T20:27:52+0200).
build_mentions() should not query the webfinger (and it's disabled by now); process_message() should 'complete' the tag Mentions that don't include a host (2022-10-10T09:45:57+0200).
