postshortly is an api to post status updates using ed25519 keys without a signup process. The philosophy behind this is to provide an open-login system where users can authenticate themselves using ed25519 keys.
To post a status update, send a POST request to the /status endpoint with a JSON payload containing the status update details. The payload must include the body of the status, an optional link, the public key, and the signature.
To run your own instance of postshortly, clone the repository and run the main.go file. The service will start on port 3495 by default.
POST /status: Create a new status update.GET /status/{pubkey}: Retrieve all status updates for a specific public key.GET /status: Retrieve all status updates.GET /stats: Retrieve statistics about the status updates and requests.

To post a status update:
curl -X POST http://localhost:3495/status -d '{"body":"Hello, world!","link":"","pubkey":"<public_key>","signature":"<signature>"}' -
To get status updates by public key:
curl http://localhost:3495/status/<public_key>
-
To get all status updates:
curl http://localhost:3495/status

When posting a status update, the payload must be signed using the ed25519 private key corresponding to the provided public key. The data that is signed includes the concatenation of the public key, the body of the status, and the optional link. This ensures the integrity and authenticity of the status update.
