facebook.com issues?

[hanoii]

I installed the local version with docker and went to try facebook with my personal account. It didn't work at first but then it started to load but I only can get through the few visible posts. The page stops responding apparently.

What's the extent of support for facebook? Thanks.

I would also like to see if I can navigate the whole stack to see if this is something we can contribute to. Can you provide some pointers into tracking web sites issues and some getting started with the code, at least very roughly?

We are in the process of evaluating a tool for internal investigations archiving and attempting to find something different than capturing dom, etc.

Capturing network/user integration seems like the best approach but you also seem to need to catch up with web pages or having special cases, is that so?

Facebook is especially tricky, and works best using a remote browser / proxy mode. It's also constantly changing and hard to keep up. @N0taN3rd has made a good effort to keep up with the latest changes, but they keep changing the interface.
The local deployment is also slightly different in that everything is served from localhost over http, I remember at some point that was an issue as facebook was detecting if content was not loaded over https.

As far as starting with the code, that's difficult to answer, based on what it is you're interested in working on :) There's a lot of code here. Mostly of the capture/replay specific work is in pywb, as Webrecorder wraps pywb and provides the user management, new UI, extraction +patching and remote browsers.

Would like to hear more about your use cases as well :)
