The intro to HDA (Hypermedia-Driven Applications) I've been raving about today seems relevant to the ongoing discussions about C2S APIs for the fediverse, especially the proliferation of the monolithic server+web-app antipattern. I've started a SH topic on it;

But SH seems like a ghost town ATM. Tried to post on ActivityPub.space but their interface hates my mobile browser (Fennec from F-Droid) 🤷‍♂️

Could Hypermedia-Driven Application architecture be useful for AP C2S?

Check out this intro to HDA (Hypermedia-Driven Applications); This seems relevant to the ongoing discussions about C2S APIs for the fediverse, especially the proliferation of the monolithic server+web-app antipattern. If Daz (@[email protected]) is correct, properly RESTful APIs that use an HDA architecture might be a way to realise Christine Webber’s original vision.

@julian @strypey oh, cool. I mostly meant, I thought people could use SH to post on ap.s and vice versa.

@[email protected] vice versa only, yes.

So from a.s I can see and browse into a SocialHub forum. SocialHub cannot see any other content from the open social web as it lacks discovery features (e.g. a timeline, user following, etc.)

@julian ah, ok!
