Choose a set of temporary subscriptions in the url. about corsica HOT 6 CLOSED

Let's spec this behavior a little. The following is a suggested format to set the screen name to something and subscribe to a set of tags ['first', 'second', 'third'].

corsica.dev/?name=something&tags=first,second,third

• Any issues with that format?
• Are commas a safe delimiter for tags?
• Should these persist to the config on the screen or be a temporary mask?
• If there is already a name and a set of tags in the localstore, how should it interact with url data?

• Format: I like it.
• Commas: no problems with me
• Persist to config: I think yes. Manual intervention once, via typing things in the URL. Then the boxen takes over and sets the homepage, but it still keeps the defaults the human entered.
• Blow away local data, based on 👆

Does that sound reasonable?

For persistence, do we want the behavior to be 'if no config, use the command line' or should we rely on a url flag of persist=true

from corsica.

So how is this:

• url shadows local storage
• persist=true will cause the url flags to overwrite any existing setting (not union, but replacement)

from corsica.

Sounds good to me.

I'm closing this one. I think we fixed it with PR #69. Someone please re-open it if I'm wrong.
