It could help a lot of people discover it that way 🙂

Traditionally, development of an ActivityPub application required a lot of reverse-engineering because there were no developer documentation (aside from several blog posts), and no good libraries.

This is changing, and today there are several well maintained libraries and a guide for ActivityPub developers: https://codeberg.org/ap-next/ap-next/src/branch/main/guide.md (this is what I am working on)
