Are you saying that webhooks have no purpose in 2018 ? Because while WebSub was created as an effort to help RSS get more realtime, it's a more generic architecture for publishers who have content and need to notify interested subscribers.
- antpls 8y agoWhat we are saying is : In the attempt at understanding the use cases of this proposal, people said in the thread webhooks were created to replace RSS+GET pull, as an "enhancement". As we are trying to explain : this proposal doesn't cover all use cases of RSS+GET pull, so it should not be considered a replacement of RSS nor an enhancement of it. If WebSub has a purpose (if any), many people fail to explain a valid one. Does it worth wasting the resources of the W3C for such proposal? The "world wide web" is wide, and doesn't only include servers
- rakoo 8y ago> people said in the thread webhooks were created to replace RSS+GET pull That's the root of our misunderstanding then: never was PubSubHubbub _replacing_ RSS+GET pull, it was supposed to _help_ it for people who want notifications, on top of the existing system.
- antpls 8y agoThe root of the misunderstandong is that their is no rational in the proposal. How are people supposed to understand any proposal without a rational?
