"A few days ago I shared around an idea for an ActivityPub API product...

...If you’re a developer who is interested in building on the fediverse using this kind of API platform, I’d really love to talk to you. Enter your email in the form above and I’ll get in touch. If we have a conversation about this, I’ll send you a $50 bookshop.org gift certificate as a token of my appreciation."

#ActivityPub

Got good news and bad news nostr:npub1nd86x5za0ascfmvmsxqyrzk4xc7l48h6gfmlcf5d3e9munenydys4g2zkd.

Bad news first...

... your naming idea has been claimed by nostr:npub1f9fd738mny4rh95466l75u3raq4t65hcg2zm0qdcc0qgqn7g20lqn0dgxv for his new fediverse messenger app:

Good news...

... a lot of what you seem to be proposing is possible right now, by building new apps on top of the existing back-ends of any of the existing ones. This list may be incomplete but its being actively updated and you can browse by language and app types (micro-posting, blog, media-sharing etc);

Most AP servers support the Mastodon C2S API for connecting the web app to the back-end. Some also starting to support the C2S part of the AP spec. Some add bespoke extensions for app-specific features, which needed to eventually have FEPs.

So app devs need to know which C2S dialects a back-end speaks, and make sure their app supports one of those.
