Hey guys! I just wrote up a Needling piece for when the Mariners get eliminated so that they don't get eliminated. You're welcome!

For example, for my reply just above ⬆️

The first image is the json for the "post" record. It has the cid. But not the rkey.

And the second image is the MST record, with the cid, and also the rkey (encoded).

Rob Tougher @robtougher.com · 15h

I don't know the full story on the format either, but one thing I do right now with those MST records is figure out the cid->rkey mapping.

For example, a "post" record will have a cid.

And the rkey for that cid will be stored in one of those MST records.

Oh those are MST records. They don't have a "$type" field.

Here's one example from your repo:

Even when I knew nothing about what SAO’s were supposed to be, I always liked getting them handed to me.

Countless great things. Connected with a ton of awesome people. Had a lot of fun. Learned some things about life. Created art. Was invited to talk at a conference about it.
