saves the database to current directory versus somewhere better like ~/.vfeed/ about vfeed HOT 5 OPEN

Hi qtfkwk
Let me check it ... thanks for the submission

from vfeed.

It works good.
I will definitely add your fix in the next 0.7 API release

Thanks again qtfkwk

If you want to change this to ~/.vfeed/ please consider the XDG Base Directory Specification.

More generally, hard-coding this to ~/.vfeed/ (as #54 does) without any way of overriding that seems to be essentially just as questionably opinionated as hard-coding it to $PWD.

Could it maybe be configurable (perhaps with environment variables) or use the directory where the script is located (meaning you could put it anywhere)?

Generally agree that ~/.vfeed is as opinionated as $PWD.... also that it doesn’t conform to XDG spec. The level of effort to use an environment variable would not be so high, but would obviously involve a more serious change to the code. In which case, it’d make sense to design it well. I’d suggest a cascade: use the env var or command line option location if set, then perhaps a location in a config file, then fall back to $PWD. Thoughts?
