(This is complementary to the Iodide server @wlach is building, which will enable online workflows)\r\n    - Functionality that streamlines saving files to the filesystem would certainly be in scope for this. our options may be limited because the `downloads` api gives you very little control of where you can save files, but there might be a few things we can do. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/downloads/download \r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/iodide-project/iodide/issues/comments/386841409","html_url":"https://github.com/iodide-project/iodide/issues/590#issuecomment-386841409","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/iodide-project/iodide/issues/590","id":386841409,"user":{"login":"bcolloran","id":2380975,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/2380975?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran","html_url":"https://github.com/bcolloran","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcolloran/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-05-05T23:10:20Z","updated_at":"2018-05-05T23:10:20Z","author_association":"COLLABORATOR","body":"One other workflow enhancement that might would be helpful for the core devs would be something that makes it easy to move between local notebooks that point at `dev/iodide.dev.*` and hosted resources"}}
