  • Seed Registry Updates
    • RFC later today.
      • Will start with CLI commands
      • Vault add currently adds a remote vault
      • Expand to make this more reusable/extensible.
        • Seeds are similar to node-modules.
      • Possibilities are massive:
        • Composite workspaces
        • Have workspaces accessing multiple npm vaults with meta-information.
        • Modularizing like knowledge.
    • Registry to find and add public vaults quickly.
    • Npm for vaults.
    • Use cases are programming related. The plan is to make this a registry for people sharing any number of vaults.
    • This is a long-term investment area for Dendron.
      • We will have a sensible approach initially and then revise based on how we see people use the seed registry.

Questions

  • Editing experience for seeds?
    • (subject to change) When you edit a seed, you can edit it directly, or you can fork it.
      • Seeds are just normal workspaces that are installed in a pre-configured way.
      • It’s just like a regular git repo.
      • Trying to take what’s worked for other package managers and using it for knowledge.
    • Consider webpack bundling.
    • Lots of ways of dependency management.
