There was a file with an array of RFDs. Yeah, pretty much. And then initially it was semi-public, right? So anyone could log in with any GitHub login, I think. And then I think David really pushed to have it so anyone could access the public RFDs without logging in, which, yeah, was, I think, another big improvement.

Well, I mean, the RFD site is kind of fake open source in that it's all... A message to our community. We've got the BSL license on it.

Yeah, even at Oxide. Right, too real. So, because it's still... The RFDE API is much more... is much broader. I think anyone can use that pretty easily. The RFDE site is... And it's very Oxide at the moment. It has all the styling, all of that. It's kind of directly in the repo.

Swap the logo. Easy peasy.

We're doing it kind of incrementally as well. And that's the beauty of working on something on a platform like GitHub is you can use the RFD API package, use GitHub, and you don't even need a front end, at least initially. You don't need to worry about that. And then eventually you can kind of add more as and when. But yeah, the accessibility thing I think is big.

Augustus added an endpoint so that you can create RFDs from the API. And so yeah, I'm kind of working on a way that people can just create a new RFD from the website directly. And then a few months ago, I was working on a little experiment where it was a live ASCII doc editor where you could kind of create and share notes maybe before they're an RFD or notes that aren't going to be an RFD at all.

And within that, because of the API, I had an option where you could then turn, you could turn a note into an RFD and it would kind of hit the API and it would kind of take all of that content and throw it in an RFD. So I think that's what we're working towards eventually. Some basic authoring. There's a line though. It's really tempting to try and recreate GitHub and Google Docs.

Uh, I think we've, yeah, it's, it's, we've got enough on our plate, but it's tempting, tempting to do for sure. And yeah. And this, yeah, we, we, I, I, I found personally that kind of working on internal tooling, uh, is, uh, is, is, uh, really beneficial. Like we, we get a lot of it, especially as we get bigger. Um,

And we really benefit when more people can contribute to RFDs, especially engineers.
