#microbots using #dat for storage (as a way to run bots on *now* or *glitch.com*)

1. a listener node that polls for the bot's timeline and creates a distributed append only log of incoming messages
2. an archiver node that insures the log is backed up and recoverable at any time
3. stream processing nodes that subscribe to the log and do actions like sending replies and timed statuses when data is appended

wow, getting hypercore appending to a log and reading from another process is accomplished.

it's pretty neat, I can fire up the listener, and add items to the log, and the archive script keeps a full history of the log accessible.

that's a good stopping point for today, i'll wait till the morning to review, commit, and publish

@katje I've not botted yet, but seeing these posts is inspiring me to learn how! what's a witchy bot ecology? { homunculi / familiar / shadow / ... }
