@aaronpk Oh cool! Yeah, tbh my main issue with most events solutions out there is that their federation models seem really weird to me. It was important for me to make an event (lower case) into an Actor that people can follow, and then it can send out Events. Other implementations take the AS2 vocab spec too literally and make human users their Actors, and you follow a human and they emit Events that they "own" over time

I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool https://gath.io

The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

With a use of cross-platform authenticators this should not be much of a problem. You use a YubiKey to log into your site and in the admin panel there would be a button that enrolls your platform authenticator too. I think I saw something like this in the spec’s GitHub issues, can’t remember where exactly.

Subscribed, and happy birthday!

Happy birthday https://aaronparecki.com 🎂 Hope you're having a great day!

Great news - my frontend can do the onboarding procedure! It successfully uploads my h-card and posts a “first post” to the blog, so it won’t be empty.

For now I didn’t do authentication yet. I’m still thinking if I should do password+TOTP auth, just a password or a WebAuthn. Or maybe I could just use indieauth.com directly, but that needs at least one social profile in the h-card, which is not guaranteed right now.
