Really wish there was an OS that forced apps to decouple their data layer from their UI layer so that users could bring different UIs to the same data or combine multiple data providers in one Ui.

@mauve That's one of the goals with @capyloon . There's a VFS api with (still limited) support for UCANs for auth, and a planned mapping to WNFS.

@fabrice @capyloon Might also be good to think about how to expose structured data and queries in this space. 🤔 I'm thinking Prolly Trees + RDF would be a useful combo.

@mauve @capyloon well... indeed I had to make a choice between something more db-like or something more fs-like. We expose query capabilities using full text indexing and tags (so independent of the file system hierarchy) and a "resource score" mechanism based on the resource importance. That ends up looking a bit like a semi-structured DB.

About RDF, just no 😆
