I can answer some of those Beaker questions Another question, are these site files easily accessible on the file > system? Or is this another "Local store"? :)
It's a local store but that's kind of an open question. We could move the files into an easily-accessible path (eg ~/Dats) though I do lose a little bit of control then. For instance, it might be nice to implement transactional writes that fail if another tab writes the file concurrently, and I won't be able to supply that guard as easily if apps other than Beaker are writing to the files. That said, we do have some tools for this already. If you watch this screencast <https://beakerbrowser.com/docs/howto/use-bkr.html> you can see the `bkr` command that lets you do checkouts of dat sites to custom folders. We might be able to build on that. I'm interested to hear what people want/need. Also, can you run regular chrome at the same time as this? I guess that > might be more of a dev question. Yeah it's a different data directory.
