Hi,
Extremely basic question: I have a module that I want to share
between different DUB-based executables. How do I put this in a
different folder and point all the executables to share it? It
doesn't necessarily have to be a library at this point (though
that works too), as long as I can import the module.

dub was not made to do this and the docs remain:
https://dub.pm/dub-reference/subpackages/ "unfinished" and will
remain unfished
as far as I know adr's code is the futherest dub has been pushed
*and he hates it*;
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/dub.json when I
followed his advice to not do that shit, it took 50 lines of code
for my own build script. I bet ai can just do it in a single
prompt by now.
You can make a "subpackage", copy someone elses file structure,
but id suggest jumping ship if the json line count expands past
50 and you run into a single piece of complexity no one has yet
solved.
