13+### Basket is a simple db of tagged images
14+
15+The frontend displays the most recent image in the full window,
16+so it can be used to add some personal style to an urbit desktop environment.
17+
18+In addition to being a personal db, basket is an experimental app on top of the 'rooms' primitive in [Realm](https://twitter.com/HoliumCorp).
19+
20+Members of a room have temporary write-access to each others basket db.
21+The frontend makes it ergonomic and fun to share / collaboritively create this data.
22+
23+In theory (at scale), this creates a kind of decentralized giphy.
24+
25+The images you know about are the images your friends have shared with you.
26+It gamifies the creation of rich, human curated image metadata.
27+One obvious use case for this is keeping track of memes.
28+
29+To export the full dataset you can GET `http://yoururbitship.com/~/scry/basket/images.json`
30+Then you might want to use a python script to actually download the images to local storage.
31+
32+Eventually, it would be nice to have a simple way to export and share the dataset.
