Initial investigation started.

Requirement Discussion Thursday:

The initial discourse user case at a high level will be broadly along the following lines:

• A click to post to the discussion forum on the React front page will open a window
• Window will contain relevant context (if saving a snaphot, for example, this would be something like title/URL and any other identifiers)
• The User will also be able to add information/comment - ideally this should be as close to a discourse comment box as possible (even better if it can be discourse, so that discourse links/tags/etc can be added - to be investigated what possibilities are).
• API in Fragalysis backend will be called to make a post - based on the context provided, this will add any Discourse reference information so that related posts can be grouped. Initially this can be so that, for example:

1. The user can save a session project - that be used to start a new topic - with a heading matching the title of the project
2. A snapshot saved in the project could then be added to the project conversation as an addition to the topic.

I'll try to make the API/Backend changes fairly flexible.

The target is to create a design based on this and then a PoC.
