There's a million things I want to implement all at once, biggest annoyance right now is lack of profile search so adding that now.

One thing I think would be cool: adding hashtags to your profile metadata, then you could query for profiles with that hashtag.

Oh and of course making hashtags clickable and searchable, that will be quick to add so I should do that first #damus

One glaring issue with relays right now is that you can't put a limit result on initial queries

balas 3y ago

you can control what you receive, so you can close the connection after reaching your limit, no?

jb55 3y ago

Yeah but I like to keep connections open so I don't have to do a TLS handshake after every query.

balas 3y ago

so send a new req with a since filter

jb55 3y ago

well yeah I already do that, but I don't go out of my way to kill connections after every query. I guess I could create an abstraction that does this for one-off stuff... bleh

Thinking about it some more, this wouldn't work because created_at order is not defined and it would need to be desc

balas 3y ago

what's your objective? what are you trying to achieve?

balas 3y ago

ah so you're querying #hashtags and handling those results?

jb55 3y ago

Yes you can't use a since filter here effectively without a lot of probing. They main issue is that some relays return way too much data so we should just add a limit to the spec.

balas 3y ago

what's too much data for a query?

jb55 3y ago

hashtags, infinite scrollback paged chatrooms. All of these are very hard to do without having some kind of limit option with implied created_at desc ordering in a query.
