twitter polls (needs v2 API, mf2)

Open snarfed opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

right now, tweets with polls are confusingly represented (and rendered) with just the text, omitting the poll choices or even that there is a poll at all. this is obviously confusing and not desirable for consumers, eg twitter-atom.

sadly this is because the twitter API itself doesn't give us the choices or even an indication that the poll exists. :/ https://twittercommunity.com/t/poll-support-for-rest-api/54775/23

filling this for tracking, so we can handle them if/when the API support arrives.

Evidently polls are available in the v2 API. 😐

Hmm. How do we represent polls in mf2? How about in AS1 or AS2? Let's see...

Twitter is now developer-hostile, so I don't plan to work on this myself. I'll happily review and merge PR(s) though!

Closing as obsolete; Bridgy's Twitter support is headed toward deprecation.
