RFCs on the Atmosphere

I was recently working on an RFC for some open source work and didn't have a good place to post it. Google Docs is annoying for anything technical and a git repo is heavy if you don't already have one set up and a process ready to go. What I wanted was a focused website that just lets you post markdown documents that people can comment on. So, I built requested.fyi, a website that does just that. What's neat about it: my website doesn't host any of the docs or comments. Requested is an Atmospheric app, so docs live on the author's atproto PDS, which they control , and comments live on the commenter's PDS (linking back to the doc, and optionally to a specific line). That's basically it! The Requested app has no complicated backend. It just queries/caches document records from the author's PDS and uses constellation to find linked comments. Try it out if you have any documents you want feedback on! Speaking of which, if you'd like to help out, I have a doc working through how to add staging to Requested. Take a look and leave a comment if you have a suggestion!
