Reading the source in outline form

[scripting]

@fmfernandes and anyone else following along --

Good reasons to read the outline versions that the JS code is generated from.

1. Outline comments, many of which are very long, don't make it out into the generated JS code.
2. Easier to follow the incredibly long nested callbacks.
3. I believe you'll better see how the pieces fit together.

I recommend starting with database.js, the lowest level of FeedLand.

This link will open database.js in read-only mode in Drummer.

https://drummer.land/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scripting/feedland/main/database/source.opml

The same method works for any source.opml file in any of the repos. I recommend opening tabs for each of the packages you care about, and when you want the latest versions of the source, just reload drummer.land.

I'm going to post this to the FeedLand blog too.

It's a little more verbose, but makes the same point. ;-)
