another day, another (video) call platform for the hackerspace, another API to scrape/create rogue implementation for so we can publish connection count on MQTT (so far done Mumble and BBB, now Jitsi)
@f0x can you like, just curl the page and do some very shonky HTML regexing
@s0 nope.. just like bigbluebutton it requires an active connection with a bunch of state, seems i'll have to work with the horrid xmpp protocol underneath so this is Not Going to be Fun...
@f0x this reminds me of our attempt to make a “next train in X mins” sign for our makerspace which is beside a train station. But to do something like get the time to next train at a given platform, you have to index, reference & join megabytes of tables of every possible route, platform, direction, and vehicle, it’s ridiculous
this is going to be Big Oof im pretty sure....
