Hi David, Just a quick question, perhaps this was answered or asked before I joined the mailing list, so I apologize in advance if it's been brought up. I was curious if there existed a database app, or some other project that was similar to Exhibit that the idea to create a databaseless app was based on. If so, perhaps a means of being able to export the data to that app would be beneficial for users who require to move up into a larger scale service or a service with a database. Or perhaps could be used as an example of where to move Exhibit towards. Cheers, Derek
