@btzr-io I merged your lbry-redux pr. You can point the desktop at 85f0f574bd082ca5d0b87dcba11863fb3f050555

@btzr-io are you unblocked on this?

[btzr-io]

@kauffj yeah, I'm still experimenting on some things, cant push changes yet

[btzr-io]

Added a save dialog so the user can choose where to save the new "story" as a markdown or text file.

Almost there, somethings left to do:

• Merge publishStory and publishFile into one component ?
• Cleanup code ( Add comments, simplify etc )
• Make it work on the web.
• Error handling.
• Check if content changed ( The text editor was used )
• Test: claim edit
• Test: claim publish

Looks like my machine ( windows 10 ) don't have any registration of the markdown content type.
I'll use the file extension as fallback to check if is a text file for now...

Is there a better way to handle this ?

[btzr-io]

Now publishing a "story" should also work on web, I'm still not sure how to handle the editing part.
How can I get the file contents on the web version ( lbry.tv )? should I just use the streaming url ( also how can I get it ) ?

On desktop I can just rewrite the original file if a change is made, I guess on web I'll need to create a new file and re-upload it, what happens to the old file ?

Also If the user removes the file from desktop, will this be handled in a similar way ?

[neb-b]

I'm not sure of a better way to do that, but since this is only for markdown files, I think just checking the content type should be ok.

I think you will need to use the streaming url web, to get the streaming URL, you need to call Lbry.get, then can access it with makeSelectStreamingUrlForUri. Can you just delete the old file after creating a new one?

Also If the user removes the file from desktop, will this be handled in a similar way ?

I'm not sure what that means. Aren't these just temporary files? I didn't think the user would see them.
