Btw this is an idea I first developed during my Mozilla Fellowship in 2018. Lots of stuff I've made since has led up to this: my Express ActivityPub Server, my RSS to ActivityPub Converter, my ActivityPub Debugging Tool, figuring out how to work with Glitch for ActivityPub hosting... of course then pandemic hit and I was not very productive 2020-2021 but wow this is neat to finally deploy the thing I've wanted to forever ago.

Okay I built a landing page for the user account now, you can get to it via this url or just clicking in the profile view in your fediverse app like you normally would.

Individual posts also have landing pages so you can link people to them if you want (or you land there by clicking into its permalink from your client).

Updating the styling to be a little more reddit-like, complete with fake upvote numbers that change on every reload.

@darius I wrote something about #Botiquette and posted to Lemmy and #SocialHub about it. If you have any thoughts on them, they would be most welcome :)

Oh hey, I found my notes I took on this project originally in like... I want to say it was summer 2019 at the DWEB conference at the Internet Archive in San Francisco. I cheekily title the project "The Great American Novel" because that is the working title for all my projects that seem too big.

Forgive my handwriting and my brainstorming of ideas for naming the project. Which I guess still isn't named.

A piece of lined paper filled with hand written notes in black ink. It says "The Great American Novel" at the top in big letters and shows a flow diagram of a Mastodon server talking to an "Express Node" which reads and writes to a "DB". There is also a "Client bot" that reads and writes to "Express Node". In the bottom right is some prose including "It's easy to run. Minimum number of moving parts. Not a lot of features. It's like an executive assistant for your harried bot.""

@darius this is a great idea, thanks for sharing it

@darius where are those tools, specifically express server?

I was looking to make some fedi stuff forever, even have a few unfinished attempts. Maybe I pick it up again.
