git ssb

I've noticed the about library built into ssb-viewer returns older images and names for ids.

Do you think upgrading to ssb-avatar will effect performance, @cel?

I made a new About implementation in ssb-viewer since I wasn't satisfied that ssb-avatar makes 4 sbot links queries per lookup. The implementation in ssb-viewer doesn't return older images and names, it returns the most recent ones, whereas the ssb-avatar implementation will always prefer an about message by the target feed, even if there are newer about messages by other feeds. I did a quick benchmark just now and didn't find significant performance difference. I would be okay with switching it to use ssb-avatar, for consistency with the other clients.

@cel Ok, I understand what's going on now.

I think it's worth not using ssb-avatar for the performance improvements.

Right now one of the slowest elements of Bay is the avatar query. Maybe a different idea would be to use this simpler avatar algorithm within Bay?

I've been thinking we should rewrite naming as a flumeview

Think it would be a good idea to switch to ssb-avatar as someone went around and named a bunch of people wierd names :)
