Hey, anyone running a WordPress site interested in helping me test a fediverse sharing button plugin before I submit it for review?
https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-share-button-wordpress/
(EDIT: You can use the "Code" -> "Download ZIP" button.)
Here's more about the project: https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-sharing-button/
#wordpress #WordpressPlugin #fediverse #SharingButton #SocialMedia #webdev
The plugin is under active development and will need to be installed manually, here's how: https://www.godaddy.com/help/install-a-wordpress-plugin-from-a-zip-file-40849
Some screenshots of the button added on a placeholder article: https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-share-button-wordpress/blob/main/assets/screenshot-1.png and the settings page: https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-share-button-wordpress/blob/main/assets/screenshot-2.png
@thisismissem Yes, basically. I use my own "third party" server that briefly caches the nodeinfo data.
I don't offer it publicly, but it is open-sourced: https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-info
For the WordPress version of this project, I am also considering bundling everything together, see https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-share-button-wordpress/issues/4
As for the video, it is a bit out of date. Are the icons looking better when you visit
https://fediverse-share-button.stefanbohacek.dev?
@thisismissem Also, note that, as you may or may not know, Pixelfed doesn't, as far as I know, support opening a sharing prompt via URL.

Context: ActivityPub Client-to-Server (AP C2S) is probably the least understood part of ActivityPub and there is very few documentation and running code for it and ActivityPub is mostly underspecified. This FAQ might be terribly opinionated, I considered pushing it on my own site or https://litepub.social instead but I figured having it more visible and getting easier interactions would be better.

@thisismissem Oh that's beyond my level of expertise to answer.
My point was more about following the same endpoint naming conventions, rather than some platforms copying Mastodon, and some doing it their own way.
I don't even mind some platforms not supporting all the endpoints, in same cases it wouldn't make sense.
But I sure would appreciate consistency.
@thisismissem @stefan as both a client and server dev, i would too. but like. there is no endpoint that would make sense for that on a platform like GotoSocial that doesn't have a single blessed UI.
imo AP really fucked up by not defining its own URL scheme for activities but it's not quite too late to define one for sharing intents
