The Missing Protocol: Let Me Know
Briefly

The 'Let Me Know' protocol offers a way for individuals to anonymously receive notifications about specific events, such as newly published content. Users can click a button indicating their interest, which registers an endpoint for that event. A background service, or 'agent,' checks this endpoint regularly to see if the event has occurred. The expected responses include indicators of whether the event has happened and potential instructions for future checks, ensuring users are kept updated without revealing personal information or subscription preferences.
The 'Let Me Know' protocol aims to provide users an anonymous notification system for specific events, eliminating the need for personal information or generic subscriptions.
Users can click a 'Let Me Know' button to register an endpoint, allowing persistent agents to poll for event occurrences in a non-intrusive manner.
