8 months agoMost Linux package managers sync the list of all packages they can download. I wonder if some sort of system like that can be used to federate web searching.
Literally why is this necessary on a technical level. I’m a web developer, whenever I need my JavaScript to access a resource I have to spell out where to find it. I’ve never had a need to scan the browser or the system to make shit happen so why should I be able to in the first place.
