@rowanlupton are you still working on this?
Has anybody used it for a real live ActivityPub?
We've kicked the tires a bit because we know python but haven't figured out how to deploy a real AP with it yet.

[rowanlupton]

hey! i haven't worked on it in a while. where i've got it to is, i could get posts to show up on mastodon? i haven't implemented much beyond that

[rowanlupton]

i got real work, and that kind of put big side projects like this on hold. so did trying to figure out how manage authentication ;)

[bhaugen]

Uh-oh, that reall work will get ya! But thanks for responding.

The message signing stuff looks like the tricky part. Eugen's blog post looks like a good summary though...

Maybe I will try to make time to work of AP stuff again. Yeah real work stuff does get in the way.

[rowanlupton]

yeah. i think that i got signing to work, at least sometimes? posts wouldn't have shown up on mastodon at all otherwise, right? in here
