# Feed Structuring Proposal

Some thoughts on a new format for feeds.

## Motivation
6
-
The interface for requesting and getting back feeds is something that I feel is really at the core of what bluesky offers. The user should be able to choose what feeds they subscribe to, feeds should be first class objects, they should be able to be efficiently generated and consumed, and they should be able to trustlessly come from anywhere.

There are a lot of changes we *could* make to the current structure, but I don't want to stray too far from where we are at right now.

The main idea here is not repeating ourselves, while still providing all the information the client might need.
35
-
With this structure too, the user could easily request *less* data, asking to
36
-
skip the inclusion of records older than X, or saying they are okay with stale
37
-
information in certain places for the sake of efficiency.
