Things are moving both slowly and quickly. But I'm having fun. I'm now at the point that it's not just an activitystreams library; it also ships with a demo ActivityPub implementation that's starting to work.

  • Activities can be submitted through the API endpoint, though the oauth bearer token check isn't handled yet (probably done today)
  • Basic content rendering in HTML works, using a generic methods system in combination with sxml to pull down the right templates. sxml is great.
  • There's a mini REPL driven client
  • The asobj abstraction system is a dream to work with

Things are nearly demo'able. What I need to do still:

  • A few more things renderable
  • Handle collections properly
  • Finish implementing and make use of cookies (Guile doesn't ship with cookie support out of the box, but I have it nearly done) and do cookie signing as a kind of web based session
  • Web based UI for submitting new activities, interacting with existing ones

There's a lot to do still, but it's finally at the point where things are looking real. I'm also further along than I was with Pydraulics, and am enjoying working on it a lot more.

Would love to see a demo when you have something! :)

@Sean Tilley It's pretty close to demo'able. I hope to show something public within the next week. (Nothing spectacular, but a demo nonetheless.) Keep watching here...
