@nasser @technomancy if I'm reading this correctly, it should be feasible to write a mu-style (https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/) suite for interacting with this data store, right?
(The analogy at work: your data at rest in the project git repo is like mail kept in Maildir format. Tooling is provided on top of it. It could be in client-side logic on Web pages, CLI utilities, or an Emacs package.)
I'd vote strongly for the mu-style approach, or at least make it first class in tandem with a browser thing.

@nasser @technomancy (apologies in advance for "hey, if you do 200% of the work, you get 110% of the benefits", but...) Building the browser UI of your choice first, in a way that clearly blazes a trail for folks who want a different UI, *seems* feasible. (Implement complex automerge blob generation in wasm-compilable Rust that can be used by CLI utils??) I am sympathetic to the challenge of fluently iterating on UX. An initial target platform that supports this would probably be a good move.
