Playing with ActivityPub

  • Looked at Darius Kazemi’s #NodeJS AP implementation as a reference
  • So, the whole time I was doing this I was looking at express-activitypub, one of Darius’s projects. It’s great - simple, but it works. Most of my work here was making it even simpler - removing some of the configurability and hardcoding things like accounts - and porting code that was dependent on Node.js to code that could run in Netlify’s edge functions, which are a whitelabeled layer on top of Deno and thus use standard web APIs instead.
