@neauoire part of their setup process now suggests you create an s3 bucket (AWS) to store blobs like images because their data model can't yet handle large files...honestly, there are plenty of people with interesting stacks but very few of those people have any substantive community around their work to support it and get it to a place that's as impressive as urbit (I don't care for urbit for a lot of reasons but a lot of work has gone into it thus far)

@nik @neauoire yeah unfortunately the current paradigm of building a user interface ex nihilo for every project that has to express a "brand identity" and shit is just categorically doomed nonsensethankfully that's not the paradigm anyone should want in the first place. a shared set of abstract UI primitives, not controls but interfaces at a less granular scale, that can be user-composed to introspect and operate on data is much more viable. and sensible. and expressive.

@neauoire @nik when it actually comes time to draw things to a framebuffer, which is pretty heavily abstracted away from in my set of opinions, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that persistent UIs aren't worth the trouble.
