   Making a little Kitten app called Streamiverse that lets you create a curated streaming timeline of fediverse posts using the Mastodon API that can be consumed via WebSocket when teaching web development and creating demo apps during presentations, etc.

   Previously, you could consume the public stream from a Mastodon instance directly but that feature was recently removed, breaking, among other things, the WebSocket sample app for Kitten.

     It’s just a quick, small app (and it’s not done yet) but you can check out the source at https://codeberg.org/small-web/streamiverse if you want to get some idea of simple it is to develop Small Web apps with Kitten¹.

     I’m especially beginning to love the htmx + WebSocket-based pattern I’m starting to use everywhere where you basically stream interface updates from the server to the client. It’s not refactored yet but, e.g., see https://codeberg.org/small-web/streamiverse/src/branch/main/settings%F0%9F%94%92/curate.socket.js

     (You could, of course, easily create variations of this for things like curating your own collections of posts and maybe adding RSS feeds to them – fediverse newsletters, if you will – or creating curated displays of fediverse posts for conferences, etc.

     Feel free to have a play.)

     @thisismissem @wedistribute Didn’t say it wasn’t for good reasons :)

     But having a curated streaming feed of public statuses also has its uses, hence this.

     @aral @wedistribute yeah, but it was removed for good reasons, see: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/23989

     You can still access it if you have an access token for a user, which requires the whole oauth dance for that.

     Goal was to improve security, privacy and safety. Same reason I've blocked client credential based access for now.
