One Alap expression can pull data from several different sources and merge the results into a single menu. Same grammar, same operators, mixed origins.
From the dynamic menu example: AT Protocol URIs (at://) have no default browser handler — they're a natural fit for Alap's Option of Choice pattern. This example shows two data modes: static entries in allLinks and dynamic results from the :atproto: protocol handler.
the :json: protocol for alap, sneak peek for 3.2
the :hn: protocol, for hackernews, coming in alap 3.2
a look at using alap with a protocol I refer to protocols inside of ':', and this is the :atproto: one can mix and match multiple static and dynamic elements in an alap expression, such as :atproto: + :json: etc
video showing two things: alap has protocols it can call into, :web: :json: :atproto: and soon :obsidian: these are used to gather data for menus this example shows a menu being created from a static call into :atproto: as well as a dynamic search
snapshot of conversions that I am writing to get data into an obsidian vault, so that alap can query obsidian, as part of a dynamic menu supported types are: plain markdown files, and: Known plugins: `hugo`, `jekyll`, `mkdocs`, `docusaurus`. Unknown names warn and are dropped. also, rss feeds

A side-by-side comparison of 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) represented by a light blue rectangle, and 8K UHD (7680 x 4320 pixels) represented by a light green rectangle. The 8K rectangle is positioned to the right and is clearly twice the width and twice the height of the 4K rectangle. Below the rectangles, text explains that this doubling of dimensions results in 8K containing four times the total number of pixels as 4K.

“Ruth Buscombe, Jolyon Palmer, and Laura Winter in the Melbourne pit lane at Albert Park on a rainy day before the season opener Formula 1 Grand Prix. They're holding microphones and standing under umbrellas branded with the Formula 1 logo. The overcast weather adds to the pre-race ambiance, with the pit lane and equipment visible in the background.”
grabbed screenshot from Gemini (GPT): ""Outie" in this context isn't a general term or meme. It's a specific, inside joke related to the Bluesky social media platform. It refers to Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter (now X), who is often seen as being "out" of the company and now involved with Bluesky. The meme plays on the idea that Jack Dorsey, despite being "out" of Twitter, is still influential in the social media world and that Bluesky is his new focus. So, the joke is that even though he's "out," he should be using his influence to improve Bluesky, such as by adding GIF support. It's a very specific, tech-insider joke. Unless you're familiar with the history of Twitter, Jack Dorsey's departure, and his involvement with Bluesky, the "outie" reference wouldn't make much sense."

The scene is set in a wood-paneled room with a computer monitor and keyboard in the foreground. The image is a humorous take on the character's iconic interactions with technology in the Star Trek franchise."
