On stage now, @django — arguing for widespread adoption of ActivityPub client-server (C2S) protocol.
I agree with him.
At the very least, to make extension of ActivityPub through JSON-LD namespaces possible.
But also to decouple Fediverse client development from Fediverse server development.
And more.

@reiver I’d love to see this but is it feasible without mastodon on board?

@toddsundsted@epiktistes.com absolutely.
In fact, the app that made the AP news rounds a couple months ago was Holos, an AP client on your phone that connected to a server elsewhere. That's the ideal use case for C2S, but alas they didn't go that route.
I'm hoping to look into using it to enable cross-instance activities. Think "liking and replying" using your Mastodon account while browsing a WordPress site.

@liaizon Thank you!
I have been meaning to revisit the code a bit. I wonder if it should be simplified, maybe just a DIV that turns into a form with JavaScript, since the form itself can't really do much without JS enabled anyway.
The WordPress plugin makes more sense since you can handle the dynamic stuff server-side.

@stefan @julian @andypiper @reiver its really good I wish it had more publicity. I wonder how we can get it into more places

@julian @andypiper @reiver theres also @stefan's fediverse share button that's very nice https://fediverse-share-button.stefanbohacek.com

@andypiper @reiver I've been fantasizing about a snippet library for validating and canonicalizing a fediverse (AP+WebFinger) handle. Drop in a handle/profile link/AP ID, receive full handle + web link if the input is resolvable.
Target audience would be sites that don't have full fediverse integration, but want to give people a way to link to their fediverse profile. I've seen handle vs. username vs. ID vs. URL cause confusion.
Should be <50 LOC in most languages. And let's make it CC-0.

@reiver we have a Share (on Mastodon) button used in our blog at the moment - we should get it released as an open source component, and then it could be used as a basis for other things if desired.
