Ooh, I really want to make an entry! It’s been forever since I’ve made a song.

To see if I even could!

Just missed him. :sad_lemon:

That being said, it is kinda useful for data conversion. Like, if I wanted to pull in old posts from somewhere else and stitch it together on some kind of ActivityPub blog, the dates could match the original creation dates.

In fact, I’ve been doing this with videos hosted on VidCommons. I threw an old John Wayne movie on there that’s like 100 years old, and the timestamp reflects the actual day the movie came out. Other ActivityPub servers reflect this.

ActivityPub Client-to-Server API lets you specify any arbitrary date as as the “published” value, which the backend then interprets as the “created_at” value for a status.

This is not necessarily wrong, but you can do some pretty goofy stuff.

Thanks for sharing this, that’s cool that you spent some time working on this!

Yeah, I’d imagine that working on a project with a moving API target would definitely be a pain in the butt. It’s kind of hard to build towards something when the vision keeps changing.

Also, I still don’t really know how to deal with state management myself; I was trying to do it for a Vue project and realized that I really need to brush up on JavaScript before moving forward with it at all.

Yeah, that was kind of my thought, too. You’d think that it’d be a natural fit.

Then again, maybe it’s just a case where the overlap of “people who are Elixir programmers” and “people who are interested in Matrix” did not contain that many people.
