or "every recent message I can see" style views without enumerating projects.

Most collections are addressable at their root path: `/messages.json`,
`/comments.json`, `/checkins.json`, `/forwards.json`,
`/files.json`, and `/boosts.json` each return a recency-ordered, [paginated]

Boosts

Get boosts
----------

* `GET /boosts.json` — a [paginated][pagination] flat list of recent
[boosts][boosts] across every [recording][recordings] the user can access,

[events][events] are included too; each boost embeds the recording it applies
to (an event boost surfaces the event's recording).
