Comment (by karsten):

 This seems like a fine topic for a pad discussion. Just some quick
 thoughts here:
  - iwakeh, regarding your first comment, I agree that, right now,
 CollecTor is the only application that creates index files. My suggesion
 was to move that functionality to metrics-lib in order to use it in other
 applications, too, in this case metrics-web. See my (*1) above.
  - irl and iwakeh, I think you're talking about the same thing, which is
 an Onionoo JSON API. That's what I meant in my (*8) above, and I'm aware
 that we discussed this long ago and dropped it on the floor. It might make
 more sense now. We just need to be very clear that providing another API
 in metrics-lib means we cannot make changes as quickly as we can right
 now. Major releases of metrics-lib and 1-month delays required for
 backward-incompatible changes, and all that. Still worth discussing if it
 helps avoid writing code twice.

 Feel free to add (many) more thoughts, but let's also think about
 switching to a more synchronous way to discuss this topic.
