csarven cwebber: Excellent tutorial! I love the format. It is digestable as plain text.. even works (dare I say) sending it to mailing lists.
#
csarven "Cool!" indeed.
#
csarven My AP knowledge is probably rusty, .. is "the server recognizes that this is an object being newly created, and does the courtesy of wrapping it in a Create activity" an AP expectation i.e., the wrapping the object with the activity, or implementation? I should check the spec :)_
#
csarven Ah.. so "Since it's an activity, her server knows it doesn't need to wrap it in a Create object." hints at the server being smart to know whether to wrap it or not.

cwebber ajordan: pump.io supports websocket for its protocol as well right?
#
cwebber ajordan: I wonder if we should follow up on that in the CG as well
#
cwebber seems like a good thing to pin down, since many sites may want that to avoid client polling.

cwebber wilkie: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1557#issuecomment-294529696 wdyt?
#
ajordan cwebber: ish?
#
ajordan we use SockJS which provides WebSocket-like semantics while falling back to other methods internally when necessary
#
ajordan I've definitely thought about that as something to follow up in the CG; seems really useful
#
ajordan I thought we had a bug open about that but maybe not
#
ajordan I've sometimes thought about providing a pure WebSocket API for native clients to consume, in addition to the SockJS API. because then they don't have to pull in an extra library
#
ajordan lots of interesting questions in terms of what clients it's oriented towards, etc.
#
ajordan I'll add it to the wiki either way
#
ajordan csarven: I love the emoji in your tweet :D
#
ajordan cwebber: done!
#
ajordan so many exciting things to explore. I count 9 possible projects!

#
csarven ajordan: which? haha
#
Loqi ahahahaha
#
wilkie cwebber: ah, yeah. that seems like the right way to do it. I guess I only went over how you might infer it from a tag.
