Thanks for the great feedback and really walking through it.

Something that looks like: http://garden20.com/market/details/bookmarks We just wanted to show a way that you are not forced to use one market. Some work should be done to make that more clear. That being said we could probably sniff the url provided a little more, and if it is a regular couchapp provided a way to replicate it over to your garden.

I can see remote storage as a nice fit if people build hosted gardens from the smaller apps, and remoteStorage lets them save data to/from them. Also pouchdb is a great fit for this. > > ps, everybody else can stop trying to squat 'unwalled.garden20.com' as > a username, i already got it. :) > it truly is trying to be an unwalled garden. Good name :)
