-

-  if (u.locationName) { console.log(u.locationName) }
-  // unsure what is the difference between location and destination
-} ) )
-// could replace console.log() by addNewNote()
-
-2. Fetch and render one page of the user's activity feed
-
-immersClient.feed().then( console.log )
-
-3. Send an outgoing text chat message
-
-immersClient.sendChatMessage("msg", "public", ["otherutopiah[immers.space]"])
-
-That can then be read via
-
-immersClient.addEventListener("immers-client-new-message", console.log )

-See results in https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/text-code-xr-engine/issues/47 for answers

-Note that functions can be comabined rather efficiently e.g 
-
-immersClient.addEventListener("immers-client-new-message", e => addNewNote(e.detail.message.messageHTML) ) 
-
-immersClient.sendChatMessage("jxr loadPageRange(3,4)", "public")
