Self-Description Protocol (SDP)

Abstract

The purpose of the Self-Description Protocol is to allow users of tilde sites to define details about themselves.

Details

If a user is participating in the SDP, they must have a valid SDP JSON file in http://<domain name of tilde>/~<username>/sdp.json. For example, my SDP file here on protocol.club would be at http://protocol.club/~khuxkm/sdp.json.

An SDP JSON file must contain:

• user: the user’s username
• blurb: a small blurb to show up with their username
• twitter: their twitter username (optional)
• github: their github username (optional)
• social: other social media sites (optional); list of arrays containing:
  • profile: link to profile
  • image: image to show as the link
