kellnerd: Your thoughts? What would something else be?
Last night and this morning I did some more asking around and research on the python thing.

Tulir being the author of maubot and all of the mautrix software, and nexy being a former matrix-nio user

From reading the code, what maubot provides over directly using mautrix-python is handling parsing commands sent into chat, providing the web management interface and easily running many plugins/bots on one Matrix account
And an abstraction over the database that lets you reuse maubot's database, whether that's postgres or sqlite
In terms of data storage, mautrix-python has a pluggable state store that handles storing the state needed to tuse Matrix's sync API, E2EE state and caching things like display names. That can be used with Postgres as the backend
However it doesn't seem to store non-state events, so the actual message timeline, and I'd have to add that functionality re my conversation with lucifer
So we'd end up with all of the Matrix state, the emssage history, and the state for updating the HTML stored in posgres
s/posgres/postgres/
I've not used postges' full text search before, but I have discovered that tantivy offers python bindings, so that part of the plan can stay the same https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy-py
Jade[m]: From what I can see, pg doesn't really provide advanced query syntax, whereas tantivy has that OOTB. Search is secondary though
In terms of tooling, I haven't really done a significant python project before, so I'm not entirely sure what to use for python tooling

Uv and ruff seem popular and easy to use to me. Any opinions on using them?
For handling the JS/CSS, a simple vite config should be good, and the Jinja templates can load the JS entry point

I'm thinking TypeScript, but nothing else fancy, as it's pretty much only the search box that'll need JS
Oh, and ofc sentry and prometheus have official python SDKs, so that should be all good

<Jade[m]> "kellnerd: Your thoughts? What..." <- I mainly voted to be able to see the results, before I realized that it is apparently impossible to withdraw your vote 😅
Jade[m]
Ah 😂
kellnerd[m]
As I didn't want to impact the outcome without having read your proposal, I've switched to the most neutral option (for now).
Jade[m]
I wouldn't worry too much, one of the votes is from someone I din't recognise
s/din/don/
kellnerd[m]
Can the author of a poll see who voted for which option or did you derive this from the matrix room events? Asking because I only see the tally 😇
Jade[m]
Yeah, this is looking at hidden events in the timeline
I din't know why element hides who voted and hides the results before you vote tbh

(A vote event, WjeClptjtsMP0ISH being the ID for the 'something else' option)
Oh, and seems like you can remove your vote on a protocol level, Element just doesn't implement it xD

<Jade[m]> "Uv and ruff seem popular and..." <- these are both great in my experience
Jade[m]
If it's the way we're going, i'll write up the python edition of the proposal this evening, and do the timeline and PDF submission tomorrow btw
