Really excited for the #activityPub developer tools...

Really excited for the #activityPub developer tools I’ve been working on lately, there are a few different tools that will aid in debugging and development of your AP projects!

Eventually I’d like to build a test suite using a corpus of community contributed projects to test compatibility with various projects

It will be open source, and you’ll be able to download single file scripts that you can run locally to test without requiring a prod/tls stack

Look forward to shipping this 😎

I know there is a need for this, and a group that is trying to organize something like this.

Nothing against them, but I think I can built a foundation for this myself without bureaucracy or countless meetings, and then hand it off to them or a trusted fediverse entity.

I’m all for collaboration, but sometimes it’s better to go alone and then release an MVP instead of trying to organize a project with many devs who can’t decide on what lang or code style to use.

@dansup Here here. If Nissan and Tesla had waited for a socket standard before releasing any cars, we'd still have no electric cars. 😂

Sometimes you just need to crack on and, if your implementation turns out not to be the standard, just refactor later.
