Follow

Follow lets someone browse your full catalog as a read-only remote library. They stream through your server — they never touch your cloud home.

  1. Generate a follow code in bae
  2. Send it to the person you want to share with
  3. They paste it into bae
  4. Your library appears alongside theirs as a read-only remote library

The follow code encodes your server URL, encryption key, and library name. The follower decrypts locally — the server just proxies encrypted blobs.

Follow requires either bae-desktop or a bae-proxy reachable from the internet. Set a public URL in Settings > Server.

See Sharing (Architecture) for technical details on identity and the membership chain.
