sirber83@fosstodon.org that's not true! There is Fedify! hongminhee@hollo.social
There's also the helper lib that NodeBB uses, although that's baked in core.
I'm happy to split this out into an npm module if there is interest though!

@julian @hongminhee wow nice! Looks pretty complete! My web search didn't find it. Seems to work standalone?

sirber83@fosstodon.org yes it's an entire framework, which may or may not be what you're looking for.
If you're looking for more low level helpers for http signing and such, the NodeBB libs could be more of use.

@julian I plan to do a photo app, like flickr but federated. I'm not very fond of pixelfed, which is half broken.

sirber83@fosstodon.org following along. Excited to see how it shapes up!

@julian it will take time, as I do this part time, and there's a lot to do! having this lib will suerly help!
I made a repo here:

@sirber83@fosstodon.org @julian@activitypub.space Thanks! You might not have been able to find it because you were searching for “JavaScript” instead of “TypeScript.” What do you mean by “standalone” by the way? Fedify is typically used in together with with other web frameworks like Express or Next.js.

@hongminhee @julian I got confused by Julian's mention of nodebb helper library.

@julian tu penses quoi de "ShutterBox" ?

sirber83@fosstodon.org sounds a bit like ShutterFly, but otherwise not bad :)

@julian oops, sorry for my French 😅

sirber83@fosstodon.org I'll have you know I took grade 9 French in Ontario thank you very much.
I am fully able to tell francophones that I do not speak French :ok_hand:

sirber83@fosstodon.org just a tip here: don't name your project after a trademarked company name. It's a very good way to get sued into oblivion.
A possible alternative name? Photon -
@thisismissem how about ShutterBox? I aim the app to be for photographers

Sure, that works too, Photon was just a play on the original name and the name for the particle for light, which is kinda important for photos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

A working group might be able to come up with other, non-software strategies for dealing with this shit. Perhaps relying on new features in the software that don't actually ID anyone but could attach the status of having BEEN IDed or just let in and I'll take responsibility.
But it takes actually thinking about and studying a problem to come up with answers like that. You can't just shove your head up your ass and then yell at it.

@nitrml @fbinin @ret @mellifluousbox Should be noted that if we all actually did manage to get sentenced to prison we'd either break the system or end up in warehouses in the desert surrounded by overheated assholes in cammo.
Either way, problem solved.
-
@mellifluousbox It has to be thought about. Sometime soon people may have to decide if they're going to implement age verification or shut down their servers. If they're to be provided any answers, be they implemented options or a documented reason why this is just done, then the effort to come up with them needs to start before they're needed.
-
Also, you should give yourself a break and use the miscellany context.
-
@nitrml how do you think they’ll implement age verification on mastodon dot social? Special fork? No. It’ll be baked into the software, which will create a precedent for this to be implemented everywhere.
-
@gbargoud they’re free to make their own decisions about whether they comply or not. The instance I’m using right now is in violation of UK law. Probably Saudi law, Iranian law, Chinese law, etc etc… there’s no winning this.
-
@raphael @liaizon @smallcircles @django ha! There are a lot of Djangos involved in the social API.
-
@ret you claim things ("no need for a working group") and when told that they need to assess their organization for these risks (not the software! Their organization!) you start talking about the software. If you dont care what they do regarding dot social, then this whole thing shouldnt be relevant to you.
Except if they do something to the software itself. That would impact other servers, and that would be a different discussion. But thats not where any of this is right now.
