I really like this idea!
I remembered it came up a year ago around patchwork and since April this year it should be relatively simple to add through electron-builder. ( cc #patchwork-dev )
Preferably there wouldn't be a single author/secret behind such a feed though, right? Having a multi-sig (maybe bls for instance?) based feed where a group proposes, tests and accepts updates would be awesome though.
I'm waiting for multiple identities to be an easy thing to do in a UI app (not CLI), then I intend to do this with manyverse releases too, on a dedicated feed. Currently I use my own feed.
I love this idea. @dominic recently had the great insight to make https://github.com/ssb-junkyard ... I think what would be really awesome is 3 layers :
- prototyping level
- legit, in production in 2 places, stable as level
- deprecated / junkyard level
I think we're quite close to being able to do groups with access-permissions. I have built some of the code for this for private groups but I think what we want is public groups with a list of approved authors (the SSBC say). If someone wants to work on this with me, we could get it out faster, and you'd get an intro to all the R+D we've done.
