    ah, i was hoping this would just exploit slack as the hosting service for your files by abstracting away the api; but this is cool too!

    Hah, the readme doesn't even show what it's good for. What does "ls" do inside a mounted directory? What does cat *, or rm -rf do?

      Heh, the readme is quite sparse. There is quite a bit more information in plan.md though not directly answering your questions

        Hmm, keeping "#" in the filenames is going to be painful...

        A Slack filesystem that makes files uploaded to Slack openable (most probably readonly) in a local file viewer would be cool though.

      I really wish there were more examples of 9p and Filesystem like apps. Suckless also had wmii window manager that I used for years, but then and now, there was very little examples of what the 9p interface looked like.

      Chicken Scheme has a 9p module, that happens to have some real world examples, in Scheme. Scroll down a tiny bit: https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/9p#data-directory-listing

      Really wish there were better references to share for this stuff. This still feels like one of the most user-empowering paths computing has to expose itself, utterly universal & already with some user-savy right there.
