A middleware proposal for App.net
- agibsonccc 14y agoOut of curiousness..what support will App.net have for analytics/data? Obviously this is a more user driven platform so I'm curious what data will be supported or what the intent for this API would be besides publishing.
- PufferBuffer 14y agoLet me get this right, for less technical folks. Are you proposing that and developer would be able to create pieces of App.net and your system would basically integrate the two?
- zdw 14y agoOne question: What happens when a piece of middleware fails respond, becomes overloaded, goes out of business, etc?
- railsjedi 14y agoI think the App.net client should just show a little warning saying "{{middleware_name}} no longer responds. [Disable] [Retry]"
- 1234the 14y agoI think it's possible that the above comment about the middleware had to do with the fact that afaik, most middleware implementations are chained so if one fails then the next is never called.
- railsjedi 14y agoTo clarify, I'm not affiliated with App.net in any way (aside from being a backer). Just an idea I had that I thought would be cool, and make App.net really useful to me as a user and developer.
