just stumbled upon this #fedidevs starter pack
fedidevs
What one person wants from an alternative to a Twitter:
• choice of home-feed algorithm,
• editable posts,
• ability to moderate replies
How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?
I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.
Anything else?

One way ActivityPub can be extended is — through JSON-LD namespaces.
For example, many Fediverse servers use the following JSON-LD namespace to specify cryptographic public-key(s) for the user.
(This particular namespace is an HTTPS URL.)
...
But, does extant Fediverse software support cryptographic public-key(s) well?

Fediverse & AI Coding Tools & Vibe Coding
...
I noticed 2 or 3 people lately using AI coding tools to create Fediverse software.
2 of them even seemed to be Vibe Coding.
...
I have been programming for over 30 years. I am probably not going to Vibe Code, but —
I wonder if we should help them.
There are tools we (Fediverse developers) could create to make it so others could Vibe Code Fediverse apps.

Options: (choose one)
I dream of being able to store my online social presence, identity, and history just as — an (organized) set of static files.
A set that I control.
And, I can (if I want to) host myself. (I.e., I am the "source of truth" / "origin" for my files.)

I've made a @newsmast channel for Fediverse development updates. It only contains official platform accounts to keep the feed focused.
Hint - create a new Mastodon List called "Fediverse Platforms", then check the "Hide from Home/Following timelines" option. Add @fedidevs to the list.
Now you have your own personal feed of Fedi Dev news you can check on when you're ready!

"A guide to implement ActivityPub in a static site (or any website)" by @mapache

I've seen an ongoing debate between "Note" versus "Article" in ActivityPub / ActivityStreams.
When is something a "Note"‽
When is something an "Article"‽
Personally — I would probably have made the distinction this way.
An "Article" has a title.
A "Note" doesn't have a title.
(In ActivityPub / ActivityStreams, a 'title' seems to tend to get represented in the "name" field.)
