I don't think it's silly. Network effects are why Parler failed and Twitter succeeded (thus far at least!), or betamax failed, etc. These things don't succeed or fail for technical reasons, and develop into distinctly differe

Two questions: 1) Will it be available on the Mac Appstore? :) 2) You mention that adding some bytes on the end is instant, and so is modifying bytes in the middle. It seems that for most filesystems (and definitely HFS+), it should be poss
