The beaker browser is a very fast moving target. ... I really like the 
concept of the distributed data storage. See: https://datproject.org/

Beaker browser 0.7.x is nice and it allows the TW beakerSaver to directly 
create a new file on the host filesystem. ... This area is called "staging 
area" .... BUT .... 

Version 0.8.x will completely remove this feature without a replacement 
<https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker/commit/352e06c43bd47939f5d3d57188d64bc56ba672fc>...
 
yet!  So the existing saver will only create a TW file in a "hidden" DAT 
filesystem. 

The advantage still is the distributed behaviour of the filesystem, .. but 
it will considerably slow down our file:///local userexperience. At the 
moment we won't win much, in terms of complexity.

I think the concept is still great, to experiment with, but beaker is still 
a --web first-- experience. Even if some stuff is stored in a locally 
hidden filesystem. ... End of rumbling ;)

have fun!
