This sounds great! I had a quick peruse through the docs, but I'm not sure I found an answer: Since it's billed as an API, to what extent does this come with sample UI (and perhaps client side code to load the content) for a web context?
Maker
at the moment we don't provide any UI. We do have quick extensive example apps and tutorials available such as or the examples listed here It's a good idea though. We should have a small widget to embed a feed in a page.
Maker
Getting a lot of requests for a UI kit - it's on the list now :)
Sweet, good to hear! I actually tweeted about Cabin the other day and completely didn't make the connection with you guys today. Ooops!

Hi, I'm one of the makers at Stream. Our team has been working on feed technology for quite some time. It all started with Stream-Framework (the most widely used open source feed technology): This 5m tutorial shows you just how easy to use getstream.io is:
pretty slick! How would you recommend for example searching for a given word within the feeds of all the people I "follow"?
on your features page under analytics I noticed a typo, it says "outdate feeds" and should be "outdated"
Maker
thx for spotting it! fix will go live soon.

PS. Anybody noticed the beautiful cat images on our homepage? Or was it too subtle?
This is super cool. I will recommend it to some of my friends working on differnt social mobile apps. They have good use cases to use activitystrea. I liked how we can use flat, aggregated, notification and ranked feed. Analytics and personalization are icing on the cake. Good job
Maker
thanks! glad you like it.
It's amazing to see the work that many of us started years ago with the continues to be felt!
Maker
thanks! the spec was really helpful both for the hosted getstream.io as well as the open source stream-framework ()
Is it possible to have 'private'/'group'/multiple news feeds? For example to have separate news feed per private group/community inside the app?
Maker
yes, that's actually pretty common. Simply write to multiple feeds at once using the TO field.
thanks for quick response ;)
Powering .. looking good so far!
Maker
Thank you for sharing!
I really like the interactive tutorial.
We started using GetStream a few months ago to help deliver personalised and popular feeds for our sports social network. It solved a pretty complex technical issue with a pretty simple deployment and migration, saving us bunches of time. Now we simply forget the streaming because it just...works! It's fast too, making our product better. Over and above all of the technical goodies they are super cool people. Very clever, very honest and super responsive when we need help. It's all thumbs up over here.

thanks Jeremy! always great to work with the team at Sportlobster.
This looks useful! Was just about to implement this sort of activity feed into a project - just signed up and will hopefully save time! Just wondered - how did Stream come about?
