Which storages should we support?

Which Core store do you use/prefer?

In order to effectively use decentstack, I suspect that you should have at least one core-storage at the bottom of the stack.

Planned support for now is:

• multifeed by embedding decentstack. (Needs community approval)
• corestore A state-less corestore, will be usable through wrapper, but will ask andrew if implementing the middleware interface would be ok.
• coregarden A stateful corestore that allows removal/banning cores. I'm the maintainer for this one so i guess it's gonna be supported.

So what's left to do in this area is:

• Open issue on multifeed asking for community opinion, detailing pros/cons.
• Upgrade multifeed PR to implement 1.0 interface
• Upgrade corestore wrapper to implement 1.0 interface.
• Upgrade coregarden to implement 1.0 interface

Please consider leaving a comment below and sharing which corestore you currently depend on (and if possible to which extent). 🍰

Awaiting community response for multifeed

also poking around at https://github.com/noffle/corestorage which I drafted & got good feedback from @telamon and @substack on

👍
@noffle In order to be able to support corestorage interface I would also like to request a method to list cores. Is that in scope?

[hackergrrl]

@telamon 100% def! what semantics are you thinking?

[telamon]

@noffle I don't have any specific semantics in mind, just being able to discover which keys are stored should be enough.
From your current storage-spec i'll most likely depend on get isOpen close and list-ish.
