TC1

SOLID

The main goal of SOLID is decentralization and ownership of our own data. This affects our choices of data storage and limits them to the SOLID PODs.

TC2

OS independent

The app must run on any OS with minimal changes, thus ensuring maximum market coverage.

TC3

Linked Data Principles

If we follow the principles and standards a completely different chat application could use the conversation data seamlessly.
