What It Is

Intent

A sovereign relationship platform for cross-cultural support connections — specifically between older foreign men and young Filipinas. Forward-only communication, transparent finances, structured agreements, cryptographic trust.

Purpose

Replace the chaos of WhatsApp/Telegram with structured, auditable, tamper-proof relationship management. Every message permanent, every peso tracked, every promise timestamped, every agreement cryptographically signed.

What

A mobile app (iOS + Android via Capacitor) built on the nous C crypto stack compiled to WASM. Static proposal site live at bahalaka.com via Cloudflare Pages. The app layer is next — WASM core, WebSocket relay, atom-based protocol.

Patterns Found

Velocity

84 commits in 3 days. 20 telemetry entries. Full ~GO chains executed. Site went from zero to live on bahalaka.com with comments, tabs, activity feed, release notes, and dev artifacts — all vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.

Architecture Clarity

The nous integration plan is solid: vendor the C SDK, compile to WASM via Emscripten, communicate through atoms over WebSocket relay. No HTTP endpoints, no REST. Everything is triples. The plan mirrors the nous-desktop pattern already proven.

Site = Proposal + Dev Hub

The live site doubles as a product proposal (tabbed: Proposal, Roadmap, Activity, Artifacts, Releases). Comments are Firestore-backed with names, replies, editing. It's a living document — not a static spec.

Dual File Sync

Both index.html and site/index.html exist at 1,545 lines each. Previous hotfixes indicate sync issues between them (commits deaac86, 931da94, 3d1bd35). The root file is the live one for Cloudflare Pages.

Board 5 — The Real Work Starts

Boards 1 and 18 were site/proposal work. Board 5 is where the app begins: vendor nous C modules, set up app/ structure, Emscripten Makefile, WASM compilation, and the JS relay bridge. 21 pts, 5 items. This is the foundation for everything after it.
