[dat] karissa pushed 2 new commits to master: http://git.io/vWwRU

dat/master 73c6ab7 reggi: typo: Paramters to Parameters

dat/master eef205e Karissa McKelvey: Merge pull request #412 from reggi/patch-1...

karissa: right, but iirc flatsheet has no api for editing cells, or records' individual columns. did the rest api got ditched too? does https://www.npmjs.com/package/dat-api-client still work ?

clkao: sethvincent's editdata is actually picking up pretty well, but yeah, dat-api-client is actually for alpha.

clkao: https://github.com/karissa/dat-rest-server is the rest api

clkao: the rest api will be in there for 1.0

it feels we need awesome-dat to orientate people with the ecosystem

clkao: yeah. I actually am a fan of having github.com/datproject either fork or own the officially recommended 'dat-*' projects, but things are a bit in flux during beta.

karissa: can dat-rest-server be used for updating records in forks?

clkao: there's POST methods that take all of the same inputs as the cli command, i think 'checkout' could be a valid option but I haven't checked. gotta go to bed now

clkao: good q tho

i had this weird idea that openrefine can be rebuilt with dat

clkao: might be better to name that fork

clkao: yes!!

are forks named ? i don't seem to recall that being mentioned

clkao: no they arent but that will be a priority feature once we get the new version out. mafintosh has been working hard on github.com/mafintosh/dat-graph

clkao: that sort of thing could go in there potentially

ok

zz zz clkao thanks for your qs

sleep well!

mafintosh: i really wish there were a c++ repository and dependency manager of even 1/10th the goodness that is npm

mafintosh: biicode was trying to do this but burned through its capital in 6 months :/

[dat] flyingzumwalt opened issue #413: Track committer and author http://git.io/vW6qP

is there a way for dat import to detect that there's no updates to existing data and make the import a no-op?

clkao: yes, you can use --deduplicate I think? cc mafintosh

karissa: yea that should work

karissa: also unrelated do you own a tv?

mafintosh: no :(

mafintosh: but i have a computer and a monitor. :) you need one?

karissa: no just bringing some tv related hardware to the states :)

karissa: im checking out auth0 as a hosted user account + login service

karissa: (for the registry). i kinda like it so far. seems easy to switch off of later if we exceed their pricing levels

karissa: for $15 a month we can have 1000 users, they have pretty nice two factor auth/mobile/sign up etc UI that we drop in with JS. and a single page app login flow. we can even implement our own user storage web API and they will call it to do user database management
