@Gargron Hey man, what would you say to making the public timeline GET API call authorisation-free (GET /api/v1/timelines/public)

Use case: The Twitter public timeline was/is used in sample apps as it’s easy to get the public timeline with an unauthorised GET. I was using the App.net API which had the same thing for samples on Set (https://ind.ie/labs/set/). Would love to port those to show the Mastodon.social public timeline instead but don't want to embed credentials in open source app.

@aral I've seen him say on masto before that his notifications here are hard/impossible to keep up with. I suggest putting this in a github issue, where you'll also get input from others
@OliverUv Thanks :) He's going to consider it; but it's good advice for the future :)
