Automatic Refreshing of Content

L“O Linus “Igby” O'Neill Public Seen by 92

Hallo everyone,

I've only just now found out about the loomio for diaspora.
We, some weeks ago made our own pod to start using diaspora more.
While doing that I notice that, the stream does not autorefresh, just like any notifications
Anyone who's been on any other social network, like g+ twitter facebook and so on, hopefully knows what I mean

There is a script out there https://github.com/Faldrian/diasporaAutoUpdate which can be used along greasemonkey to do this, well part of it
I in turn added this to my main.js
But that is not really the way to do this I fear

I would like a feature like this to be added to the main diaspora branch because it is an essential feature

How it should work:

Idea 1:
When a change is detected, the user should get a button to load the new content at will

Idea 2:
Changes should be loaded automatically, but not disturb the flow, as in, when I read a post in the stream, I do not want that to go swoosh away
this version is harder, but I dare say mebe better

Hope I did this all right

Cheers

Linus

I think the WAMP protocol can solve the problems. There is an implementation of it in ruby. It lets you realise publish/subscribe operations (like signal/slots in Qt). We can imagine a browser subscribing to notifications on the diaspora* server. You can checkout a demo here.

I'm studying this solution. I think I will try to setup a demo to test this.

@camil, I doubt you're planning to do this, but please don't ever promote me on Diaspora in the way you've done with augier, Steffen van Bergerem and others. Thanks.

I don't know the technical aspects of this, but I do know that most pages that use auto-updating that I've been subject to are bandwidth hogs and appear to drastically increase the likelihood of my browser crashing.
