fr33domlover rialtate, I handle them in the same code block, option 1
# 22:46 
cjslep[m] I don't know what a "code block" is but I prefer serving HTML or ActivityStreams data at the same URI just depending on the Accept request header
# 22:53 
nightpool[m] cjslep: they're just asking from a code organization perspective
# 22:53 
nightpool[m] do you have one function that handles both or a completely separate code path for html
# 22:55 
nightpool[m] @rialtate:matrix.org: the way mastodon does it and the way I've been doing it in my small node test bench is that each route is a function and in each route there's a respond to block/anonymous function for each supported content type
# 23:02 
cjslep[m] Totally separate, HTML rendering may require more contextual data (notifications for a logged in user, etc) than the pure AS object
# 23:03 
cjslep[m] Then again, this is a low level design choice of go-fed. The library only supports AS objects, defers to the library client code for any other non-AP request
