This is actually damn nice. It's a great example of having e become more
"web-connected", and could yet become something bigger and better. I suppose
get-e could've done something similar, and perhaps it could or maybe integrate
better with this 'exchange', or whatnot... but this is definitely a much more
refined idea, and with something like live notifications of apps/libs/themes/
whatnot... changes, or updates, or new stuff, or who-knows-what plus an app(s)
to make it easy to do whatever-the-who-knows-what, it'd be very nice. :)
