> This is hugely empowering and completely obsoletes most CMS systems.

I went the other direction: instead of replacing the CMS, I open sourced a FUSE like layer [1] that mounts any backoffice system as a filesystem while the source of truth is in WordPress, Mysql, Postgres, .... Most backoffice systems map naturally to a file tree, so you mount them locally and let your agent read and write through that.

In the POC I ran, I mapped a whole wordpress site as a fs which was versioned controlled via git so when you did a git checkout of something, the whole db would get updated on the fly

Literally yesterday I was thinking of writing a FUSE layer to expose email as a folder structure, in Go.

From a glance at you documentation I take it that I could just write a plugin for filestash ?

[mickael-kerjean]

Exactly, just implement this interface: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/ser...

Perfect. I’ll have fun with this.

Like Maildir? Many mail clients support that format already.

Yes. From experience productivity tools are never good because either:

1. They are simplistic 2. They are too complex

If I want to get anything done I want to build my own system where nobody else has a say in how the thing should behave.

I’ve build my own workout app and journaling system because after trying a trillion none of them fit me.

Today it’s easy to build tailor made programs quickly so I’d rather use something I control end to end.
