I've been a little quiet about #Emissary - in between moving and refactoring one of the core libraries, it's honestly been pretty broken for a little bit.
But my desk is set back up and I'm excited at making some progress again. Now, two libraries that power emissary are also nearing completion, so others can build on this work without having to implement the whole server.
Sherlock converts HTML pages into #ActivityStreams documents using any and all meta-data available: #JSONLD, #WebFinger, #MicroFormats, #RSS, #Atom, #JSONFeeds (with more coming soon). Any format it can identify gets parsed and normalized into a standard-looking ActivityStreams doc, which gets passed up the toolchain to Hannibal.
I'm so excited to see this stack start to deliver real results soon.
