## problem statement
|
|
|
|
You want to manage your network of contacts separately from all other apps -- this is the "bsky problem" where the data for apps is tied up in records which are stored in repos that are validated against schemas and namespaced to lexicons.
|
|
|
|
When starting a new networked app (anything where messages or publishing might be involved), you want to be able to bootstrap off of your existing network of contacts and followers.
