Approaches

Button

Adds a button to the bottom of an expanded status to fetch all replies from the OP server (or as many as they will give us).

The feature:

  • Tries to figure out the API URL for the OP server (currently just using the masto pattern, consider that a TODO)
  • Fetches the replies from the /statuses/{:id}/context endpoint
  • Uses the search API on the host instance in order to fetch the necessary status and account information to display the status.

It also:

  • Displays a dialogue box showing how many statuses it is grabbing

Still to do:

  • Write tests (dont know hwo to do that in ruby)
  • Catch errors better
  • Insert into thread in correct order (refreshing fixes)
