Turns out there is a dot-config initiative that promotes using the existing XDG standard. Basically, all the user settings go to .config, and all the temporary files go to .local. Can you help us @intellij @vscode @zed ? 🙏 https://dot-config.github.io/ 👈

    I’ve been thinking about something similar for use with cloud storage so it can be used to sync tools to the cloud without requiring a specific backend.

    Basically, a .config directory at the root of your cloud storage to hold SQLite DBs of your applications whose configs you want to back up to the cloud.
