My hot take is that the and specs are fine. Having some more standards for working with groups might be nice but honestly I'm happy with how much folks are able to do already and how many implementations are out there that can work together. This is from a few months of working on a new implementation. Honestly there's been a decent amount of docs spread around the place to go off of.

That's really not a hot take. It's a pretty chill take.

For me the question is: Can you do something to make the entry of new developers to ActivityPub easier?

I wrote this tutorial and it seems to have helped some people. Creating a better developer experience will hopefully attract new people and thus great ideas.

Sometimes I wonder, man. I've been working on building a library with a decent API for ActivityPub in Go for about 4 years and there's barely any developer interest. Sometimes I feel like I'm just pouring all that work into /dev/null. :(

@mariusor @helge actually could you send me a link to your code? I have a golang based database I want to connct to the fediverse anyway and it'd be nice to reuse something :P

@mauve there's links in my bio. The main packages for the library are under the github.com/go-ap umbrella.
