mafintosh: the "local array of writers" could also be very useful as a base for something like branches

good point

mafintosh: basically like git does it. "local" being like "HEAD", a text file with a key

mafintosh: all actual writers would be in /peers, including local and source. and then the "local" and "source" files would just be aliases to these peers

Frando: yea and then multiple local writers just share the other feeds - sounds like the way to do it

mafintosh: and you could set the writer via opts { writer: key, secretKey: secretKey } on all method calls that do writing

mafintosh: exactky

mafintosh: should even be doable without a breaking change, as long as the on-disk layout is not required to be stable

Frando: yea i think that'd be doable. the layout isn't really defined anyware so i'd be ok with that. as long as it's backwards compat

mafintosh: cool then i'll look into that

some time, not a top prio but something i was thinkin about

(lzrski_gitlab) Aha, IRC on Freenode, right?

this is freenode, correct - #dat
