One of the related projects to the web standards effort that I personally think was integral to the larger eventual success was CSS Zen Garden. A public and engaging show case for what is possible with the standard. A flexible framework that anybody could pick up and publish their flavour of beauty and coolness for us to wow at and learn from.

I don't know what the equivalent Activity Pub garden might be, but we should look for it.
@maphew @tchambers agree with this point completely. A big piece of my work at this point is to show people the cool and useful and beautiful properties of the fediverse (technical and social) and to communicate it in a way that people who have never heard of GitHub can find exciting
