Nafeon, I was contemplating Flash apps in Smithereen at some point... I mean VKontakte which I'm copying had them, so why not? Maybe sometime after 1.0.

@DjBRINE1 @grishka @eblu so there is actual intrrest, hmm. I wanted to actually go more into three.js embedding so that you can share 3D models as gltf files.

@NafiTheBear @grishka @eblu
I would love to see anything actually.
Flash via Ruffle
HTML5
ThreeJS
All of them are exciting for me

Nafeon the Beaw, well VK had two types of apps that run on the website itself: flash and iframe. For flash apps, you just upload an swf file (there was later the ability to add extra swfs in case e.g. it's a game and you want to load your levels as needed). For iframe apps, you specify a URL that is loaded in an iframe with a bunch of parameters passed to it. In both cases, you get a client-side API for things like dynamically changing the size of your embed/iframe and asking the user for extra permissions.

For the fediverse specifically, I strongly dislike how MastoAPI lacks global app identifiers. I want to make the oauth client_id be a URL that points to an ActivityPub Application object. This way you have both global app IDs and metadata. Since Smithereen is so vastly different in functionality from Mastodon and Pleroma and other microblogging servers, I'm going to do this when I get to building my client API.

@grishka do you know if friendica handles it better than the microblogging services?

Nafeon the Beaw, it looks like it implements at least some subset of MastoAPI, so it must be the same as Mastodon in terms of app identity
