What Hacker News says

I'm not fluent in modern JS, but I think the level of callbacks nesting makes it hard to see what else/catch belong to what if/then, especially: https://github.com/tdjsnelling/dat-keyserver/blob/12fa3e8389... You could try splitting this big function into smaller functions to reduce the length of the code largest callbacks. It also makes commits harder to read. eg. for https://github.com/tdjsnelling/dat-keyserver/commit/12fa3e83... a reader can't see easily what changed in the function, as every line's indentation was changed. (And the commit message does not explain what the bug was)
