document[Baron.symbol].register(
Lune.accountUpdate,
(account) => {
if (isCatIRI in account.metadata) {
account.isCat = !/^(?:no|false)?$/iu.test(account.metadata[isCatIRI]);

document[Baron.symbol][Lune.elements].account = IsMaybeCatAccountElement;

@aescling and it should be possible via a userscript! with very little effort!

@aescling like i fully want Lune to have support for transforming accounts via profile metadata in a modular way and that's a big reason why i've designed Baron the way i have

a simple module that listens for an account update event, checks its metadata, and assigns a property based on what it finds there is exactly the kind of thing i want to enable

@aescling isCat is exactly why we need good, forkable mastodon clients in addition to servers

@aescling ok but consider: meowstodev guppe group

@witchfynder_finder games can have violence or they can have skateboards. no violence and no skateboards? boring

@aescling it's nontrivial but it's like asking what the environmental impact of the publishing industry is

yeah books are a lot of paper but it pales in comparison with spam mail

@aescling a trends concern that both controllers include might still be easy, seems a bit weird but maybe could work?

@aescling like most of the work is probably just moving your previous stuff out of the API controller and into a shared space

@aescling probably just refactoring out a method for getting trending tags including always_trending ones and having both the API and the public pages call that

@aescling yes but same; there's no API call there it's just a Rails view (pretty sure)

@aescling public pages probably don't call the API; they're statically generated
