Permissioned spaces in HappyView didn't get much attention after the initial release because I've been focusing on service proxying, but I wanted to make sure to get caught up with the changes in @dholms.at github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/pull….

HappyView becomes the authority for its own spaces, credentials get signed requests, and space sync goes both ways.

Looking Ahead with HappyView
happyview.dev@trezy.codes shared how HappyView detects PDS spaces support — checking community.lexicon.service.describe first, with a fallback for PDSes without it yet. The question: what would a better detection standard look like? discourse.atmosphere.community/t/detecting-spaces-support/12…
