   I've started putting together a list of #fediverse apps, focused on implementations of #ActivityPub, documenting their status and what tech stack they're (being) built with: https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks

   This is a publicly editable doc, so would appreciate corrections/additions, and feedback especially from fediverse devs, but also from instance admins and users:

   - What app/implementation/stack did you try?
   - Pros/cons you encountered
   - What stack & libraries would you choose if starting today?

      @mayel fontina dev here
      
      it's worth noting fontina is on hiatus at the moment while I'm working on Pubstomp, a generic AP backend server that fontina is going to be built on top of down the line that uses golang and dgraph as a DB

      PS. We've been talking with @bhaugen and others about the need for a generic agent-centric #ActivityPub server, so that instead of signing up to a bunch of different servers, a user could have their indentity and data all in one place, and all the apps they use (clients, but if necessary server-side "plugins" as well) would interact with the activity/objects types that they support.

      What do you think?

         @mayel @aral @deadsuperhero @aaronpk @cwebber @bhaugen totally. We need an ID that we can migrate from service to service. OpenID plus more.

         Right now my data is spread. My identity is spread. And frankly I don't own my ID. If I wanted to migrate instances I'm at the mercy of the instance admins.

      @mayel hi, @prismo dev here!

      I'm using Ruby on Rails stack for prismo development and i'm pretty happy with it. The biggest pro of using it is that mastodon is based on RoR as well so i can use a lot of code from it. On the other hand, ruby ecosystem lacks any libraries dedicated to work with AP so it's all about taking a lot of small pieces from mastodon and refactoring them for my needs.

      When prismo is stable and ready, i would really love to make some ruby lib to make working with AP easier
