.pi.r2. Wondering if I should invest a few weeks into an integrated editor experience with some live preview for my hosting platform
#
.pi.r2. Wanna free some time for personal projects and I'm bad a prioritizing revenue making so this could be the perfect procrastination
#
.pi.r2. Does anybody provide an easy html-centric live edit/publish experience today? As in don't start with making directories, just write pages for URLs
#
.pi.r2. I guess it'd be a bit between found.as and xmit.co, with way more polish than either
#
.pi.r2. Definitely something to learn from the jsfiddle-style sites I think.

thepaperpilot I'm trying to make a make a plugin for indiekit that would save posts to a thing called a leaf syncserver.
#
thepaperpilot I was hoping to make it add a preset and a content store that are then supposed to be used together, but I'm a bit confused by how that would work.
#
thepaperpilot Presets can add a publishing template, but is that what gets stored in the content store?
#
thepaperpilot Is there a way to "reverse" the post template from the stuff returned from the content store's readFile function?
#
thepaperpilot or are posts stored in the db, and only "published" to the content store (in which case, what does readFile do?)
#
thepaperpilot and could the post template return arbitrary objects or int8arrays that only the leaf content store understands?

#
[aciccarello] thepaperpilot I've been using indiekit without a DB. So I don't have a way to edit but still can define templates for how the files are formatted.
#
[aciccarello] I use the GitHub content store but have played around with creating a custom store for some local development.
#
thepaperpilot I'm currently using it with a db, but kinda want to go db-less, so the leaf sync server becomes the "source of truth" and the microserver just a way to send items there.
#
thepaperpilot so if the posts are write-once without a db, what info does it show about the post?
#
thepaperpilot or is there no way to view posts at all, only make them?
#
[aciccarello] Yeah, my setup only allows creating posts. No post lists
#
[aciccarello] I've wondered if there was a way to sync up the content with the DB or stub out the DB with something else but haven't seen anything like that
