tl;dr: Summary not available
HN Discussion:
  • Shares similar frustrations with webhooks and validates the article's critique through personal experience
  • ~The proposed SCROLL solution duplicates existing IETF work like Braid-HTTP Subscriptions
  • SCROLL's persistent-connection polling approach is inefficient and problems can be solved more simply
  • ~Webhooks still have value as lightweight 'pokes' supplementing polling, rather than being replaced entirely
  • Offers alternative solutions (FIFO endpoints, cursor-based polling, custom dedup queues) that address the same problems
