  • FediCon / FOSSY

    Excited for FediCon 26! I’ll be giving a talk about the ActivityPub API My talk will explore the challenges of building a general-purpose client using ActivityPub’s Client API. https://2026.fossy.ca/schedule/presentation/460

  • Handcrafted code ftw

  • Cacheable Requests for Remote Content

    TLDR: proxyUrl requests are un-cacheable, this is a terrible Developer Experience. When fetching remote Activities, Objects or Actors with the ActivityPub API we use a few endpoints. First, we might fetch activities directly from our Inbox endpoint, this loosely translates to a users Home feed. But to represent these Activities in a meaningful way to…

    I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve seen paying customers be offered no other choice but a javascript snippet to embed on their site, like it’s 1999 and we’re still crafting HTML files by hand.

  • the_content, keep it clean

    A minor peeve is when plugins rely on the_content filter, to add some code or functionality which should not actually part of content at all!
