I'll have a new list of stuff from Zephyr later too. It won't be super interesting because the stackbot is posting the same thing over and over (except for the final character of strings).
We already have an awesome realtime questions tab for every question that comes in over the whole network.
But in the spirit of Optimizing For Pearls, Not Sand, shouldn't we also have a realtime answers tab? It'd be really neat to see the answers coming through for each question in the network,...
@hichris123 It's true that it takes more data. But how is it not exactly allowed? There were some devs/CM that checked out our room once. They liked it.
@hichris123 You could use the events route on the API, couldn't you? It's not as instantaneous, but in this particular scenario I imagine detection is the key concern over timeliness.
@TimStone Wait, does that cover all sites? That's the problem with other API methods, not sure if it's this one too, because they only cover a single site.
and I'm not so concerned about bandwidth (I can absorb the five cents or whatever it costs a year to run it), but I've gotten my hand slapped once by a CM, not really wanting to do it again.
(also, my monthly bill for a server, a couple GBs of S3 never-ever-going-to-disappear storage is now $4. For a VPS. I win.)
