I'm happy to announce that my barebones ActivityPub server, implemented in Node.js/Express, is now open source! I intend for it to be a reference implementation for developers who are adding ActivityPub to their own services, but also it is an application server that you can build on if you want.
In other words, t's a few hundred lines of code that lets you create Mastodon-compatible accounts that can accept follow requests and post stuff to their followers.

I'll be interested to see how this whole federation thing continues to develop.
Accessory projects like your bot have real potential to enrich the system.
Algot
Have you reached out to the main Mastodon/Pleroma/PixelFed/etc.
developers?
I would expect that they would be interested in your ideas.
Algot
I do follow a lot of people, probably more than I should, but I like to be able to catch onto new ideas like yours as random people I follow boost posts like yours.
Algot
I remain very impressed with the concept of making RSS accessible using ActivityPub.
I am a fan of the RSS feed concept, and your work clearly shows that it can have legs in the fediverse, too.
Algot
As I sit thinking about it, I'll probably not use this tool as-is (or ask others to follow the account) if the bot doesn't send a notification.
That's not actually a complaint. I understand the idea it is just doing a standard toot and that that is what most bots should do.
But as a way to be sure I know about updates to a very intermittent RSS feed like mine, someone would too often miss that a new post had occurred.
Algot
Nothing has shown up here yet.
Should I see a notification with a message including my .art account name?
Or will the bot's toot only appear in my home timeline...where it might go by sometimes without being seen.
Algot
Greetings!
It is very nice to connect. Thanks.
root...
...well okay...
...looks like you are running your own instance...
...but maybe I won't give you root on my computer. Nothing against you personally, of course!
Other than that...If you continue to find our exchanges "profitable", I'm glad. If you come to find I'm clogging your home timeline with way too much drivel, drop me. I'll understand.
Have fun.
Be safe.

#DailySketchChallenge "DIY"
Planning for a garden fence in #3dprinting is the closest I'll probably come to actually making such a thing in wood...
No garden to gate, after all.
Algot
Glad to serve as a code-test guinea pig!

Just did a site update to the RSS file with a timestamp of

now I wait.

How does my mastodon account get a notification?
I have followed the @Algot
But how does that account know that my masto account exists to notify me?
By way of my follow?
Algot
Links, whether modern like the hyperlinks of the Internet, or ancient ones like the synapses of neuron tissue make me very happy.
I am always amazed to check a hashtag only to find a post by someone I follow which I did NOT see go by on my home timeline.
Thank you for being part of the network beyond my brain.

The committee met in plenary session. As a result, there were heated discussions from the varied factions. There was little need for the furnace to fill its plenum with hot air, such air being provided by the committee itself.
Algot
Beautiful.
Thank you for the image in words.
The added image also was appropriate and inspiring.
Algot
Besides, TIRED is always a good excuse. 😁
Algot
"These" worked for me. The reference back to the WotD was quickly done. HOURS later...maybe not, so "those".
Algot
I claim only the ability to read from a dictionary. (Though I rarely start at the urban dictionary or one's devoted to slang.) 🤯
Algot
More locations...
More toots...
Pulling up roots?
Hope it suits!
