Hey, that sounds like a solid idea to learn the ropes of the API. I'd still need to learn about plugins though...
It would be an appreciable challenge because the plugin would have to know what server and account to post the comments to. That much said, I think it is a fine idea. On one side of the coin, I'd rather get people over to PeerTube and build that platform up rather than help Google get more un-needed revenue.
The plugin could work across any website so YouTube and PeerTube would both be supported
So it would support Google's proprietary API and ActivityPub? That would work.
It doesnt need to support the google api.
Gab (the nazi fediverse platform) had an extension like this a couple years ago https://github.com/gab-ai-inc/gab-dissenter-extension/
https://www.engadget.com/2019-03-01-gab-dissenter-comments-extension.html
You could give it multiple instances/accounts and it would search between the instances for the one with the most comments.
Yeah! Thats how the reddit extension works across different subreddits that have used the links.
You could also list the comments by upvotes across instances. With the instance name by the username. So you can see all comments from all instances and communities
the extension would be even more interesting if it could work on any link on the web:
A disqus replacement? Now that would be interesting indeed.
Yes please ๐๐ป
