Thinking about building “#Fedify Studio” (tentative name)—a web-based #ActivityPub debugging & development toolkit, like a supercharged version of ActivityPub.Academy and
fedify inboxcommand. Imagine having a proper UI for testing activities, inspecting actors, debugging federation issues… Would this be useful for other ActivityPub developers out there?#fedidev #fediverse

「Fedify Studio」（仮称）というウェブベースのActivityPubデバッグ・開発ツールを作ろうかと考えています。
fedify inboxコマンドやActivityPub.Academyの強化版みたいなもので、アクティビティのテスト、アクターの検査、フェデレーションの問題調査などがちゃんとしたUIでできるイメージです。ActivityPub開発者の皆さんにとって需要ありそうでしょうか？ -
假稱 「Fedify Studio」라는 웹 基盤의 ActivityPub 디버깅 및 開發 道具를 만들어 볼까 생각 中입니다.
fedify inbox커맨드나 ActivityPub.Academy의 強化版 같은 것으로, 액티비티 테스트, 액터 인스펙터, 聯合 이슈 디버거 等을 제대로 된 UI로 提供하는 느낌인데요. ActivityPub 開發者 분들께 需要가 좀 있으려나요? -
@hongminhee for sure. Check browser.pub also if it's compatible with what you're thinking.

@mariusor@metalhead.club Yeah, I'm aware of browser.pub, and Fedify Studio should have a similar component!

@hongminhee good!

Hi Nutomic, thanks for joining the forum.
While I have you, I wanted to ask you about the removal of audience from Lemmy. I believe the rationale for it was that it was not used outside of Lemmy, but both Piefed (rimu@piefed.social) and NodeBB use it.
I still think the explicit use of the audience property is more helpful than not.
I discovered another use case for it, although it is a bit of an edge case. Last night a user from lemmy.ca posted to activitypub@community.nodebb.org. Here, there are no followers to that group actor, so it did not federate here. However, one of the relays this site subscribes to did Announce the topic, and when it arrived here, NodeBB could not accurately determine whether the topic/post _actually belonged to activitypub@community.nodebb.org.
Specifically, it is because sometimes users (on Mastodon or other sites) mention group actors but don't intend for the post to be made there. It is not a strong enough signal.
But audience being explicitly set does provide that strong signal. I've updated NodeBB's code to trust the group actor if located in audience.

@carloshr as always, my best ideas are the ones that seem so obvious to me that i figure someone else surely has already had them
-
@jonny what a great idea! 🤯
-
what if a torrent contains self-authenticating signed activitypub objects???? what if we could jump back and forth between federation and p2p?
-
@jonny oh shi
-
this FEP is trying to be as minimal as possible: just get a representation of an object. but follow-up FEP wills spec out handling other parts of the protocol, e.g. BEP 0039 style updating using object integrity proofs. so tentatively butterfly memeing "is this mutable torrents"
-
torrents are just bundles of hashes and a file layout! they (or v2 torrents at least) are actually a really nice way to do content addressing for files and directories. so when combined with the rest of activitypub, e.g. being able to do updates, sign objects, extend them with additional vocabularies, then you get something very interesting indeed....

Here's another #FEP for representing torrents on activitypub :)
short, sweet, and with a reference implementation and tests!
towards a federated bittorrent tracker with #sciop !
