My name (Diamond) mostly came from my username. I used to be more active talking on Discord, so a lot of my friends would call me based on my username. It was weird at first, but I got used to it! Some people found it surprising, but the reactions aren’t too bad.

Shameless plug (sorry) but I’m working on one too! It’s a web app that works on both desktop and mobile: https://slemmy.libdb.so.

It is a free-time kind of project (I work on it after my actual working hours), so it might not grow at the same pace as other newer apps, but I’m trying!

Source code is at https://libdb.so/slemmy, AGPLv3 license.

Huh, interesting. It seems that a WS connection to wss://beehaw.org/api/v3/ws works, but not wss://beehaw.org. I remember reading somewhere that the WS API will eventually be removed, though.

I’ll continue development w/ the REST API until I feel like it’s in a mostly-working state, and then I’ll probably subject myself to the WS API after. Working with the REST API does feel a lot easier.

Websocket handshakes are done over HTTP. The endpoint for Beehaw’s WS API would be wss://beehaw.org/, so it’s still going to use the same CORS policies as accessing the / (root) path.
