@h Well, one thing I;m concerned about is that it requires await, and I'm not sure meteor or the version of node.js it uses can handle await? It didn't seem to work earlier, so I'm not sure it will work here. :/

@h Hmm. I am trying not to develop too bad a case of dependecitis, but to be honest this seems like a better use of a new package than many I'm already using, so it's probably worth taking a look at. XD

@h This is where the bulk of the code is, including the bit I'm working on right now. There is some other stuff involved, but unless you;re actually gonna build it for yourself you shouldn't need to worry about that.

The specific function I;m working on right now is findActorByMention in server/federation.js. Specifically, I want to make the webfinger call at the bottom of the function return it's value to the function, and have the function wait until it does so. :/

@h Yup! I can show you the code, if you want. XD

@h Well, I'm back to work and I'm confronting an old problem - getting my code to wait for the results of some async code. I tried to get this working before using async/wait and couldn't figure it out, and ended up doing everything through callbacks, but that would be really awkward here so I'd rather avoid it if possible? I'm not sure if this is anything you're experienced with, but if so I'd love some help. :/

@hoodie Hah! Well, that looks like interesting chaos. XD

@cwebber Comics, the only acceptable use of comic sans. :/

@Morgane go to slep. >:[

@h Cheers! Don't worry, I will do just that. XD

@h Honestly I'm thinking I might wrap things up here and go to sleep myself. XD

@h I think so? Of course, now I have new problems, but thats how it goes. XD

@h Well, I'm using Meteor, which is using node, so that's a lot of room for things to get weird. XD

@h Yeah I'm not sure what was up with that. maybe I just wasn;t including the right code to import it for my server? I dunno. :/

@h Aye, it's actually simpler, as I don;t mind including port number. I guess I was overcomplicating things. XD

@h Huh, okay. I thought it would have to be more complicated than that. My mistake! XD

@h I'm trying to go "new URL(string)" and it's going "URL not recognized". Thats the way it's usually recommended to get a host out of an URL, but it looks like I'll need to find something else. :/

@h javascript. And I wouldjust parse the string into an URL and extract the host data, but apparently I can;t use the URL object on the server. I'm trying to find another way to do it, or failing that, just write a parser myself. :/

@h Hmm, yeah that might be a good point. I am getting frustrated with the thing cause it's being stubborn about working. XD
