What if... you had one Fedi account on a generic headless #ActivityPub server that simply hosts and federates your data... and had C2S UIs for microblogging, long form writing, media editing and sharing, link aggregation, games, fitness tracking, and so on, that all used that same Fedi account. Technically, it's a similar concept as ATProto (but no relay and app view) and Solid Pods (but no RDF).

It seems possible... if we can improve the AP C2S API/protocol sufficiently.

@steve If by "sufficiently improve" you mean throwing it away and replacing with a better protocol, then yes it's possible.

I can't wait to see what you build! Good luck.

Maybe I am way over my head, but this seems like *exactly* what I am building right now and I'm not really building anything outside of ActivityPub C2S?

I mean... Yes, my current client assumes some specific profile for OAuth and the client will need a proxy to get some data remote servers (to bypass authorized fetch, or to resolve documents from transient activities), but doesn't seem to me that anything I am doing is outside of AP's scope?

@raphael @silverpill @steve I also think that Steve's vision is realisable with ActivityPub API, although I think adding optional features like search, server push and so on makes it easier.
@steve Hi Steve,were do i find you Vision? Fredy

@naturzukunft2026 👋 I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but there's a W3C ActivityPub API (C2S) Task Force meeting on March 19. That's where C2S extensions will be discussed. It's listed on the SocialCG events calendar.
