Schema

• A source represents some external source of data that is of interest (ex. blog, subreddit, youtube channel, etc.).
• A bookmark is a specific reference to data from a source identified by a URL.
• A pile is a collection of unique bookmarks.
• All bookmarks that are created by a user end up in their account's pile.
• In the future: A pile will have reference to all historic bookmarks whose details have been overridden by changes during the upsert. A pile bookmark is traceable back to the originating source.
• A processor can process a source, bookmark, or a pile and directs bookmarks to other piles.
• A processor can be configured to run on a schedule or based on a remote push event (ie. webhook).
• A subscriber can subscribe to a pile and perform some action on a newly added bookmark.
• The combination of a processor and subscriber working on piles is externally referred to as a sifter (ie. "You create a sifter to go through your piles of bookmarks").

Examples

A user is browsing the Internet and finds an article that is of interest. The user uses the Sifty extension to save a bookmark for this article. The bookmark is saved in

The Youtube channel SomeGuyTalking is a source that has had a recent upload. A processor, that has been configured to run every day, collects all uploaded videos from SomeGuyTalking and puts them into a pile as individual bookmarks. If a video bookmark already exists, it is overridden. If it doesn't exist, which will be the case for a recent upload, a new bookmark is created. A Slack subscriber is subscribed to the pile, the new bookmark is sent to the configured Slack channel.

An RSS feed for a blog is a source that has occasional updates. A processor is run on a schedule every day to parse the RSS feed and return a list of bookmarks for each post. These bookmarks are sent to a pile. Newly added blog posts are sent to an email subscriber where an email digest is sent to a mailing list.
