Yes, I think I like the idea of clients being able to store data on the server however they like. It reminds me of this description of ATProto that I found recently: https://overreacted.io/a-social-filesystem/
I guess my question is: once I store my custom stuff in custom places on my server, how do I publish this so other people can find?
And, object IDs are usually defined by the server. So how would it work to say "create a collection named XYZ and add this object to it"?
