does the User object look easy to work with? (id is meow because there’s no database yet)

good but a few things:

  1. less stuff on root, like group stats under stats, or profile with about

  2. no caps

  3. About is really confusing me, how is the data structured, because I thought it was an array but then again no

  4. what are rainbow and verified

  5. idk about this one as much, but doesn’t handle normally imply unique

otherwise i like the modulized about

About 2) I agree, programmers don't want to type caps.

  1. what’s the point of that?

  2. that's just what serde does, i don't know if i can change it without literally modifying the crate

  3. it is an array, firefox just displays it as an object with number keys for some reason

  4. why you have lilypad rainbow (the subscription), or why/how you’re verified

  5. maybe? idk

Pretty self explanatory, lowercasing all keys in serde json

this doesn’t have much to do with what i posted though

"that's just what serde does, I don't know if I can change it" THAT'S WHY I WAS SENDING YOU THE LINK

do you know the difference between serialising and deserialising

9/12/2023, 3:04:34 PM
radi8:

honestly I don't really care

it’s pretty important in this context i’m just saying

Personally I would rather have a list of users instead of a number of followers/following @lily

lily:

that would be at the /followers endpoint (what if the person has 1 million followers? then that could be gigabytes of content to download)

same for the notes, you could have A LOT of those

and it would be pretty bad to make it recursive too

Not to put you down but I doubt you are getting millions of users any time soon.. (though something you could do is only send up to 20 results, and after that it would request each page.)

i was really talking about scaling, i’m not sure if that wasn't clear from my message or something

yeah, the /followers endpoint would be paginated, it's just useless to add it to the normal /users/by_* endpoints since then you'd be downloading a lot of redundant data

9/11/2023, 6:33:07 AM

I was saying it just send an array of 2 on the user endpoint, like ["1", "33483djdn", "gorkejusername"]

i feel like the /followers idea is better since it can show the things like profile theme and stuff in the list of followers without having to do an additional download

true. i think that’s a fair solution and i really like the user’s object overall! :)
