Retejo
I have been working on a new type of web-server for serving static web-sites.
I started working on it recently — on August 23rd. But, have had the idea for it for a number of years.
...
What is different about this web-server for static web-sites‽
Well, of course, it supports HTML.
But, it also supports Markdown, and ActivityPub natively!

@reiver How it uses ActivityPub?

@reiver How it uses ActivityPub?
If an HTTP request is made on a page on a Retejo server with:
Accept: application/activity+json
For some pages Retejo will automatically create a ActivityPub / ActivityStream version of the page.
(Retejo looks at the HTML to infer what the data in the application/activity+json document should be.)
...
Currently it is working on way, but — I want to improve it a bit though.

@reiver You mean it returns something like a
Pagewith HTML content of the page? -
@reiver You mean it returns something like a
Pagewith HTML content of the page?Right now is returning `Article`, if the HTML is a certain way.
(The automatic application/activity+json generation is triggered by the HTML being a certain way.)
I am going to add `Person` and `Note` soon, too.

Is this feature documented? I didn't find any information in the readme.
If it's still in development, could you create a tracking issue in the Codeberg repo? I would subscribe to it.

This *specific* tech will make private groups, similar to Apple Messages, Signal, and WhatsApp.
It won’t make “Friends Only” posts, but.. both Emissary and Bonfire already provide different flavors of “Circles” that let you choose the visibility of your posts. https://emissary.dev/circles
Id live for other Fediverse tools like Mastodon to add this too.

@bonfire @swf @sovtechfund @benpate Will this mean the possibility of friends-only (i.e. people you select, rather than anyone who follows you) posts on Mastodon/Pixelfed/similar? If ActivityPub ever gets mass adoption, that will be important, because when everyone’s here, so are griefers, trolls, pig-butchers and as yet uncategorised hostile actors.

@soatok @ligasser @bonfire let's start a thread to make sure we are clear amongst ourselves! We all really want to see collaborative and interoperable solutions, especially when so much expert thought has gone into them
-
@alisynthesis The initial idea is that all fediverse apps (clients and servers) should implement the standard for maximum interoperability. But it's definitely worth thinking about what we could do to make that possible in any case!
-
@bonfire is it feasible that someone could build a chat client that would let any Fediverse account privately talk with any other Fediverse account?
Because that would be insanely cool.

@ligasser @bonfire Not sure, but:
Specification: https://github.com/fedi-e2ee/public-key-directory-specificationImplementation: https://github.com/fedi-e2ee/pkd-server-phpAnnouncement: https://soatok.blog/2025/12/15/announcing-key-transparency-fediverse/The AuxData thing should also be useful for folks that want to build atop my feature to add transparency to other types of public keys (or any other public commitments of static data, such as security researchers publishing hashes of vulnerabilities being disclosed).
-
We hope this will enable the fediverse to become a safer space for activists and communities to organise, coordinate, and collaborate meaningfully. By making secure, user-friendly messaging a core part of the fediverse, we can help lay the groundwork for decentralised networks where people can go beyond talking in the mythical ‘global town square’ and actually organise and accomplish things together.

RE: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/
Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.
@swf with support from @sovtechfund is coordinating two interoperable implementations.
Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @benpate
We think #E2EE should simply be the default for any private communications, and we’re especially thrilled to bring private, trusted collaboration to the fediverse.
