[cap-talk] Webkeys vs. the web

[zooko]

I'm interested in developing a UI on top of Tahoe that doesn't leave  
powerful caps sitting in the URL widget all the time, but instead has  
a "share this" button that offers up a powerful cap.

This sounds like what Alan and Jed are suggesting in this thread and  
what some folks suggested in a conference call with me a couple of  
weeks ago.

If you try the Tiddly-on-Tahoe UI:

http://allmydata.org/trac/tiddly_on_tahoe

You'll see that I already added a few user interface behaviors along  
these lines, which I did after the first time I accidentally cut and  
pasted the write cap to my blog.

Since I added those features, it became easier to use my blog without  
accidentally exposing my write cap, but eventually I accidentally  
shared it a *second* time, which is why I now think I need even more  
help from the UI layer.

Regards,
