Joyeuse Noëlle!
What's the etiquette on porting Mastodon to non-Ruby-on-Rails frameworks? I feel like the invitation is there, but it makes it hard to port innovations back to the main codebase.

@noelle my take on this is that the javscript client (which is already basically a single-page app) should be split apart from the rails app so people can experiment with new server things independent of the clients, and visa versa

@noelle I'm currently in the process of doing this, btw https://github.com/bobpoekert/heffalump-web

@parataxis you should ask @marrus_sh about Labcoat/Laboratory :) she's doing that too

@parataxis @noelle yes, please. I want to integrate the server with an existing Rails app, so the more abstraction the better.

@noelle I thought #mastodon was a ror port of gnu social? Ie there already is non ror software for the same protocol?

@noelle OStatus is OStatus, the network's going to have to be tolerant of GNUSocial and older implementations anyway. No reason to avoid it if it's a project you want to do.
