WebSub support? #13

Open fluffy-critter opened 4 years ago

fluffy-critter commented 4 years ago

This seems to be unlikely to be feasible since it requires having a public notification endpoint, but maybe Fraidycat could be configured to optionally talk to a self-hostable notification proxy.

kickscondor commented 4 years ago

I absolutely agree - however, this would have to be an entirely separate project outside of Fraidycat. Basically, a WebSub endpoint that could be connected to by way of WebSockets...?

It would be nice to make "real-time" real-time, of course!

fluffy-critter commented 4 years ago

I was thinking either websockets or using the notifications API at a higher level, if that’s available to extensions. But yeah the machinery would have to involve some sort of external service.

Well - to anyone out there - if this service materializes, I will write the code to support it!
