## backend.json
The `backend.json` file contains all information about channels, feeds and authentication.
When the server is not running you can make changes to this file to add or remove feeds.
This is not the easiest way, but it's possible.
When generating this file for the first time. It will contain a default

"Me": "...",
"TokenEndpoint": "...",

`ekster` will check every 10 minutes, if the token is still valid. This could
be retrieved automatically, but this doesn't happen at the moment.
