yep, I forked it into soapdog/ssb-client-for-browser. I just need it to work so that I can keep working on patchfox. After replacing it with the fork, the build worked, and I'm using patchfox to compose this reply.

I'm beginning to suspect I'll need to fork ssb-client :-/

Oh, and between this message and this error there were at least five builds without any hiccups. I was just quiet patching stuff, and then that shit reappeared.

I wish I knew the status of other SSB stacks better, I'd love to switch to some other language even if it has fewer features.
