Here's a sneak peek at the architecture for how the #ActivityPub integration in #DistributedPress is going to work!

tl;dr:
- Publish static JSON+HTML for your posts/AP identity (on #IPFS and other #p2p protocols)
- In your AP JSON link to our inbox server
- AP servers use an HTTP gateway to load your AP data
- Users can send replies to your inbox server
- Inbox server has a moderation queue to put follower data and replies back into your site via static files / webhooks

@trevorflowers I was thinking on the read side with static contents. I love this idea a lot! I wish registering filesystems in userspace was more common for apps TBH.

I've replaced my mouse (and a lot of my keyboard use) with a PS4 controller for almost a week now. AMA

I still use my BT keyboard for typing, but that's mostly cause my PS4 BT keyboard has a bunk battery from being so old.

Also I'm glad I fixed up the renderer extension in #agregore finally.

Now I can just click around links to navigate linked data right from my browser.

Manually activity-ing my pubs.

What if my outbox was just a file! https://mastodon.mauve.moe/users/mauve/outbox

@makeworld I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that 🤣

Mood today: Watching shitty isekai anime and experimenting with p2p static sites for ActivityPub data.

@markhughes If y'all decide to go with a chromium fork (like brave) feel free to reach out about how to get custom protocol handlers in there. I ended up doing a lot of late night digging to get it working for agregore-mobile on Android.

@markhughes Nice that sounds like a great goal. I've been thinking about getting a "secure mode" into Agregore but that'd require editing a bunch of C++ and chromium code which I sadly don't have the spare time for.

@markhughes That makes sense. One thing that might be interesting for y'all to explore is to take inspiration from #gemini and have a minimal markup language for content. That way you can lower the barrier to making new clients and slowly iterate on how to make things more dynamic.

In Agregore we have first class support for gemini and for rendering gemtext (and makrdown) from any protocol. (also authoring it is easier than HTML/CSS/etc)

@markhughes If y'all are interested in adding SAFE as a protocol handler in Agregore hit me up on github. :o Always interested in new decentralized protocols to shove in there.

@jonny I sometimes find old posts when doing keyword searches. Particularly for tags that aren't used frequently

I wish the cost of living around here wasn't so scary lately. I just want to live with my partner somewhere comfortable and afford to eat without us working ourselves to death. Even 8 years ago that seemed like a much easier feat.
