The challenging thing with toots or captions is that they can contain hashtags, mentions and urls.
That's fine, until you're building a mobile app and need to handle these links differently.
Instead of complicated regexes, I'm going to copy Bluesky and use token indices.
This will allow us to normalize these entities while allowing spaces in hashtags and mentions at the backend level, because RN doesn't have full regex support.
My plan for Loops was to use your Pixelfed account for auth, and thats all good and all but when it comes to federation, I think this warrants a separate followers collection.
I'm considering either creating a new outbox like collection for Loops that are delivered to all followers, or a separate account with its own outbox and follower collections.
@dansup Thank you. Everyday I’m more amazed - whether it’s your progress on #loops or #pixelfed - I’m really looking forward to seeing the final releases on iOS.
