@bengo aah, okay. The article was pretty technical, and for a lot of users they just want to get setup and start posting.. and then stuff happens later and their like "ugh”

@thisismissem my goal is to get it so users can get setup and start creating posts without talking to a server (identity or social) *at all* and only replicate to one or more servers when they are ready/able/connected to share those posts with others. i.e. inkandswitch.com/local-first/

Hi @bengo @thisismissem,
love the idea but AP being a protocol of 1:1 delivery that wants direct contact to each recipient doesn't sound feasible for multiple followers which may be offline.

And each delivery must be mutually visible from the internet for the http signature callback.

Delivery of signed, portable objects (ala FEP-ef61) don't actually require http signatures. The only reason to still use them is to glean the identity behind fetch requests which have no signed payload and maintain compatibility with legacy ActivityPub applications like Mastodon.  

And in any case, authoring a post and delivering  post are completely different functions and there's absolutely no reason they need to take place on the same device.
