The wo3 api is great so far, the user one has so much info its crazy

includes: whats currently there, sidebar + lots of details, last 15 posts with full metadata, a bool of if the user if following themselves (I find this funny) and online is removed, which is sad, but that might be added later, who knows

There is socket.io for live message count so not too hard to add in online

wynd's avatar @wynd

yeah It’s possible, but the question is if jeffalo will add it to wo3

jeffalo's avatar @jeffalo

the socket.io implementation is mostly a somewhat functional hack. it’s still relying on the old site, and so the new site’s backend can’t send messages to socket.io clients (not beta nor prod).

wynd's avatar @wynd

websockets maybe? dunno that’s basically what socketio is. also does the backend use node?

oren's avatar @oren

Backend of 2.0 is express, 3.0 is sveltekit endpoints

socket.io is just a [very based] websocket library instead of making your own and learning the whole entire websocket format from an obscure pdf document

oren's avatar @oren

Will the finished 3.0 site have socket.io?

jeffalo's avatar @jeffalo

yeah. i guess i’ll either keep running wasteof2-api, or i’ll develop a wasteof3 companion server just for things that i can’t do in sveltekit.

wynd's avatar @wynd

Yeah that would be cool
