I mean it's not a totally new idea, https://github.com/buddycloud/buddycloud-android-sdk is already there. But I think the website has to guide the users trough these 3 steps and everybody knows immediately what it means. |

so what do I use the REST api for and when the javascript library that is based on some real time nodejs framework?
19:59
[email protected]
the only think you need to use it for is to register a user account
I'd recommend you use the js api for everything else.
19:59
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
register an account for what?
so I need some api tool to create a user account on my instance to then use some javascript framework. but it sais on get started I should use the rest api for mobile.....
what do I need for what and for what purpose?
I just want to push some data from one user to another
20:01
[email protected]
then just use the js one
but if you run a backend service then it's maybe easier to do rest calls.
for web the JS api is so so so much better
20:02
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
but where do I connect to? the buddycloud instace with the library, this is not REST then?
20:02
[email protected]
so abmar is upgrading right now…
20:02
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
this is websocket stuff is it?
20:02
You have connected
20:02
[email protected]
yes
20:02
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
because there is also /sync and stuff for the rest api
20:03
[email protected]
it shows you where to conect in your hosting page
20:03
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
this is all pretty confusing. I would've been turned off already by now.
If everything is XMPP why use buddycloud then?
20:06
[email protected]
xmpp is signalling
20:06
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
why not some 0815 xmpp server?
20:06
[email protected]
you need an application in the background to do the publish subscribe
20:06
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
but is XMPP ftw also buddycloud?
20:06
[email protected]
it's a way to access all the buddycloud services: https://xmpp-ftw.jit.su/manual/extensions/buddycloud
20:09
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
so this is an extension to some library?
20:09
[email protected]
you can think of xmpp-ftw as a nice way to get JSON in and out of buddycloud services
it's xmpp-ftw's native buddycloud support
it's what http://buddycloud.com/slate-api?javascript# calls are based on
20:10
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
but actually people have to learn xmpp-ftw and not the buddycloud Api then?
You know what I want, I want a library that is buddycloud.js and I put in there buddycloud.status.farm and can use that thing....
That's what I was expecting
I just want to push some data up and get some back between two users. now I have a hosting instance, a rest api, and some XMPP library with a buddycloud extension I don't know why it's important but it is actually required for all the cool stuff buddycloud offers.
like the realtime thing
okay, so there is also the "slate-api" that is not public yet?
20:15
[email protected]
yeah - that's about to be released.
that's our new documentation
I showed it to you the other day
we're just doing some final fixes
20:16
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
okay.... why is this not public yet?
20:17
[email protected]
there are still some errors
20:17
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
I mean besides the slick examples
20:17
[email protected]
but it's almost there.
Guilherme has been doing a great job on getting all the examples written and tested.
20:19
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
and what library do I use there?
the xmpp ftw?
20:19
[email protected]
did you see http://buddycloud.com/get-started
20:19
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
sure, that's where I started
20:20
[email protected]
we'll change it to merge with http://buddycloud.com/cooking-with-buddycloud-chat-app
so that you just have something really basic.
sorry for this fraustration. But it's also giving us good feedback
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
Really get a developer, give him some incentive and record every step he takes. You should do that in the future because I will be burned soon.
I will know too much about it and I am blind like you guys
I wand to build this app and I wanted to use buddycloud for it because you told me I can have Realtime and Following and user-management immediately.
That was the incentive.
20:38
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
you know what you should get github.com/buddycloud/javascipt-sdk
github.com/buddycloud/android-sdk
something like that
20:38
[email protected]
yeah
20:39
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
both work the same, first step is the same put in your buddycloud server credentials and booyah do everything trough that api.
give the user the feeling he does these 2 steps and he is set
20:40
[email protected]
yeah
20:40
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
then he just checks the api doc for what he wants to do and he can start working on it.
create user, add channel whatever
3 steps
and then there is a slick api that covers everything and you find everything you need immediately
kinda said that twice, but you get the idea
also, CTA is important everywhere. guide the user
the hosting page is perfect with the dns setup
20:45
[email protected]
cta?
20:45
[email protected] (Severin Kistner)
maybe you should combine that, after the dns worked it has a button download SDK (js + android etc)
call to action
20:46
[email protected]
ok
