Damn...

@darius Fedify is super cool. I’ve been eyeing it for some future projects, just gotta get better at JavaScript
It’s pretty wild, though, that you can totally take this library, and spin up a working Fediverse app with it. Having to do all of the federation stuff from scratch seems like it would be a nightmare.

@lmorchard you would think so from the logo!

I wanted something like this to add my (not yet released) blog to connect it to fedi, but I would love it if I could find something that is not runtime reliant instead

@gloopsies I don't know what you mean by something that is not runtime reliant

Something that doesn't need a specific runtime like node or python, I searched for similar stuff and found a go library https://github.com/go-fed/apcore

@gloopsies I think my mental model is preventing me from understanding you here.

It sure looks impressive. Even with Darius' reference server, I've held off on doing any node-baaed fediverse apps because there was soooo much that would need to be added to make it real.
@[email protected] if something like Fediify had existed for .net how many of the challenges you talked about would it have addressed?

@jdp23 @darius @deadsuperhero probably less than then you're imagining. For one thing, I already use https://github.com/warriordog/ActivityPubSharp. Hazel started that project a month or two before I started letterbook, and we've both contributed to both projects. If that had been already mature when I started it might have saved me 5 or 6 weeks. It might have cost me 8-12 if it never existed at all.
AP# is more library than framework, so it's not exactly apples to apples, but that's more to my preference anyway.

Yeah. It's nice for what it is and I really like the tutorial nature of it, but it doesn't actually solve the harder problems here (and honestly can't, though I do approve of making it easier even by inches).

Great calibrations and perspectives, thanks! There's this whole foundation of sand* aspect here: the increasingly useful libraries and tools are valuable, and yet ...
* depending on which ActivityPub platform you're using, the foundation of sand may render as a yellow rectangle -- this is a Note, not an Article. Or is it the other way around?
