The max_id, since_id, and min_id parameters in #Mastodon's Timeline API assume that the post ID is a sortable number. (Is this correct?) #Hollo, the #ActivityPub implementation I'm building, uses UUIDs for post IDs internally, so I'm stuck on how to implement a Mastodon-compatible API.

I actually started #Fedify because I was working on a single-user #ActivityPub implementation called #Hollo and felt like I needed some groundwork, and now that I'm somewhat done yak shaving, I'm back to working on Hollo, although I still jump back and forth between Hollo development and Fedify when I think of features I need for Fedify.

#Fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework, has released version 0.8.0! Here are the highlights of this version:

• fedify lookup: a command to look up any ActivityStreams objects (including actors); see also https://todon.eu/@hongminhee/112341925069749583
• fedify inbox: a command to spin up an ephemeral ActivityPub server so that you can debug and test the activities you send; see also https://todon.eu/@hongminhee/112354353470490915
• followers collection synchronization mechanism
• improved overall performance
• fixed several bugs

I built #Zed for #Linux. The build succeeds on the first try, but it barely runs.

#Fedify's tutorial, which previously assumed you were using #Deno, can now be followed using #Node.js and #Bun! (What is Fedify? It's an ActivityPub server framework.)

However, they are written for Fedify 0.8.0, which hasn't been released yet. You can test it with the pre-release version, 0.8.0-dev.164, though.

Should I rewrite #Fedify in a programming language other than #TypeScript? 😅

I'm working on adding a CLI toolchain to #Fedify to help with debugging. The first feature I implemented is the ActivityPub object lookup.

Here's a demo.

#Fedify is an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript & #JavaScript. It aims to eliminate the complexity and redundant boilerplate code when building a federated server app, so that you can focus on your business logic and user experience.

The key features it provides currently are:

• Type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary (including some vendor-specific extensions)
• #WebFinger client and server
• HTTP Signatures
• Middleware for handling webhooks
• #NodeInfo protocol

If you're curious, take a look at the Fedify website! There's comprehensive docs, a demo, a tutorial, example code, and more:

#Fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework, has released version 0.7.0! Here are the key changes in this version:

• Access control for actors, collections, and more via authorized fetch (i.e., secure mode)
• Generalized object dispatcher
• Logging with #LogTape for easier debugging

It appears that I need to implement Mastodon's follower synchronization mechanism… 🤔

#Fractal, a #Matrix client app for #GNOME, is pleasing to the eye and very convenient to use! Maybe it's because it's written in #Rust but it doesn't crash at all.

My short yak shaving journey is over. Lacking a decent logging library, so I created #LogTape and started logging in #Fedify using it, which should make inbox/outbox debugging easier starting with Fedify 0.7.0. ✌️

Did you know? #Deno supports styling in console.log(), just like browsers.

Today I'm working on putting authorized fetch (aka secure mode) into #Fedify. The protocol implementation is complete, it's just a matter of polishing the API and docs. It appears that it will be finalized sometime tomorrow. Authorized fetch will be one of the major improvements in Fedify 0.7.0.

#authorizedfetch #fedidev #ActivityPub

hongminhee, 1 month ago to fediverse

When an #ActivityPub server implements authorized fetch (aka secure mode), how does it associate the keyId in an HTTP request with the actual actor? I know major implementations (like Mastodon) use a fragment appended to the actor IRI as a keyId, but in theory a keyId could be any IRI that seems unrelated to the actor IRI, right? Should I maintain a table of actor–keyIds somewhere in the server?

This document, edited by @snarfed.org@snarfed.org, is really helpful for implementing #Fedify in practice.

Version 0.6.0 of #Fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework, has been released! Here are the major changes:

• The docs website has been migrated from Lume to VitePress, is more beautiful, and is finally searchable with ^K/⌘K!

• To improve interoperability with servers that have authorized fetch turned on, also known as secure mode, Fedify has changed to use the authenticated document loader by default in as many cases as possible.

• New @fedify/fedify/x/hono module to help integrate with the Hono web framework has been introduced.

• Added small fixes to help with debugging activity delivery.

I'm writing a section in the #Fedify docs on the pragmatic side of the Activity Vocabulary APIs, and I want to list how each API is used and how it is displayed in the major implementations.

#Fedify 0.4.0 was just released! Here are the highlights of the changes:

• Added a step-by-step tutorial.
• Integration with the Fresh framework has been made much simpler.

• Improved the ergonomics of the vocabulary API.
