gollark: What?
gollark: It has nicer features and some worse ones: bugginess, WIP autocrafting (mostly works, though), pluggableish backends (so you could theoretically implement "send over drone" as a storage backend), introspection module support (items direct to inventory), no GUI (unless <@307926450059870208> got that sorted), and a cooler name.
gollark: It's my client/server storage solution.
gollark: You could also use Dragon.
gollark: Don't be such a llama.
