    One fun thing I just learned is that ActivityPub has almost no implementations, certainly no barebones modules I can tell except maybe https://github.com/Arkanosis/microstatus ? except I can't even tell if that is a module or a full-fledged server or both or what

    I am a professional software developer and this shit is so byzantine, no wonder the indie web is having such a rough time

    Aaron Parecki
    Don't forget that ActivityPub isn't even all of indieweb! It gets even more confusing once you throw the other half of the specs into the mix (webmention, micropub, indieauth, etc).

    But that's what happens when this stuff is all built up by a bunch of unrelated people on their own time, rather than being a well-crafted developer experience made by a single company with a bunch of VC funding.

    It will get better, it just takes a lot of work to make this stuff work, much less make good docs for it on top!

    Encouraging mf2json in an alternate? woah, what happened to the anti-sidefile fight, the html-as-one-true-source idea?

    Thanks. This is much clearer than the indieweb website.

    It was unclear to me how "a static page in GitHub" could reasonably support social interaction. :P

    I'll check it out! I agree it didn't *need* to be open source, but Free (libre) reference implementations of open protocols speed up adoption. Also if you have a good open protocol and there aren't open source projects around it, it might not be working yet. ;)
    Aaron Parecki
    oh yeah for sure. To be clear, my only involvement in micro.blog is having written several of the protocols that they are built on. e.g. https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/ https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/

    I'm a big fan of getting many implementations early.

    A new form of social media: open protocol, decentralized nodes with the ability to mod, central services to do identity and enable content aggregation and discovery. Like online gaming, where people can run their own servers if they want.
    Aaron Parecki
    Found the top of this thread. This is pretty much 100% the goal of what we're doing. https://micro.blog is one of the first commercial services that works as both providing hosting as well as content aggregation and discovery. Doesn't need to be open source, just open protocols.

    That's interesting, but it looks mostly like "the web" - which is totally cool, but I think too hard for most normal people to use on their own. Also doesn't have social interactions.
    Aaron Parecki
    The IndieWeb is entirely about bringing social interactions to the web in a way that doesn't rely on single companies like Twitter or Facebook. This might explain a bit better: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

    XRay, the library that I use to parse URLs to show comments, now supports parsing direct Microformats JSON, ActivityStreams 2.0, as well as finding a rel=alternate link and parsing data from that instead!

    This means I now get great results when parsing Mastodon or other ActivityPub links, and this is also the first step in what I hope will result in fixing the Microformats situation for WordPress, since a WordPress plugin will be able to generate Microformats JSON and advertise that in a rel=alternate link.

    Next up is updating Aperture to take advantage of these new features!

    #310 Standardize discovery using link rel on user-visible URLs

    Aaron Parecki

    Just wanted to chime in here again to say that my implementation now also includes a rel=alternate link to the ActivityStreams JSON representation of the page.

    e.g.

    https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth
    
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json" 
          href="https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth.as2" />
    

    That brings this up to at least 3 implementations that support it, making it a good candidate to incorporate into the spec.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
