Bidirectionality
I'd be nice if I, as a website owner, could see when other street pass users pass me. This enables functionality more akin to a traditional streetpass device and is frankly what I expected.
I understand there are privacy implications here, so it needs to be opt in of course.
Opt in bidirectionality could be interesting… I could see the announcement being done as a bot that DMs the website owner privately on mastodon. Only thing is we would probably want opt-in from the website owner as well so they don’t get spammed. Interesting to think about!
A website could implement a ".well-known/streetpass" endpoint, where a message gould be posted to.
Or stay within the realm of rel links and define a custom "streetpass" item.
Link: <https://example.com/streetpass>; rel="streetpass"
Could probably turn this into it's own little discoverability spec.
Could also do it as an extension on the Actor object.
Since it's already using webfinger it could also be a property in there.
Super interesting ideas thx for sharing. This is definitely the way if this feature ever comes
