The State Changers meeting predominantly revolved around the usage of web technology, mainly focusing on understanding and implementing "check mark problems" with WeWeb, and navigating PubNub.
One State Changer had been attempting to include a working checkbox on their WeWeb platform that would affect variable changes based on whether it had been checked or not. They discussed their current set-up, sharing the equation they had created that connected the checkbox's "initial value" to a variable that initially starts as empty. The group debated the workflow and intricacies of dealing with an array. The second major discussion involved PubNub. The team examined the inner workings of a PubNub based messaging system, discussing how to connect to the JavaScript-based platform to send and receive messages. The group covered how and when to publish messages, along with configuring the necessary keys to secure communication. The team elaborated on the need to establish a persistent connection with PubNub to receive messages in a chat-like system. They suggested setting up the listeners at the beginning of the page lifecycle, making the PubNub variable part of the window object, so it would be available whenever needed. Moreover, there were rumors regarding Xano planning to include a WebSocket-like feature that would allow instant refreshing and real-time communication. Throughout the meeting, the State Changers provided constructive feedback on approaching the problems and effectively implementing solutions. It was a highly detailed and deeply technical discussion. Anyone interested in WeWeb or PubNub messaging services, or in Xano's potential plans, would find this meeting helpful.
