i actually wrote this yesterday, using the unary invert `~` operator. it's basically just sugar around `glom(target, T(...), default=None)`. example usage: ```py safe = U(obj) value = ~safe.a.b[0].c ``` implementation:...

yes. it's pretty much exactly what you asked for. :P

hey herb, glad you're interested! i'm not actively working on this. same with pretty much all open issues (mostly feature requests) without the "now" label. for this one specifically, that's...

if anyone's interested in tackling this, i've written up [comprehensive instructions on how to add a new silo to bridgy.](https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy#adding-a-new-silo) feel free to jump in!

Probably! But maintaining the scraping code for those two is a painful arms race, so I'm unlikely to do it myself. You're welcome to try if you want though! First...

Hmm, it's actually not quite that bad. The open API does let you [post videos](https://developers.tiktok.com/doc/video-kit-ios-video-kit-with-objective-c/) and get [webhook notifications](https://developers.tiktok.com/doc/webhooks-overview/) for video uploads and other events. There's also a [Business API](https://ads.tiktok.com/marketing_api/homepage)...

Thinking about this. I like it, and it would help us work around eg #911. I'm worried about one scenario, though. Say a post includes a Bridgy Publish backlink, but...

> That said, is it more of an idea/request to implicitly authenticate people if they have everything in place to publish posts? Right, this.
