Well, the assumption of this setup is that the server where you'd run
dashboard isn't necessarily reachable all the time.
For example, during a network outage, or an uplink DoS.
So I need some store-and-forward facility. Using git for this purpose
isn't the absolute best-fit but limits my tool use, my dependencies. I
could use some other tool (sqlite?) but git handles store-and-forward
setup pretty well (with the normal git push semantics).
Hard to justify added deps and complications unless there's a great
fit to the proposed alternative...

But isn't it cute how it goes thunk! four times per turn?

Correct, masterless won't generate reports, and that's part of what I
am trying to address.
