Someone else wrote this, but I'm on my third time around the woodshed with the #gofed library, so Ima repeat it:

The Programmer's Creed:

"We do these thing not because they are easy...

But because we THOUGHT they would be easy."

API Design. Interesting 2020 talk by Cory "CJ" Slep on why his #gofed library uses code generation to handle #ActivityPub content as HTTP middleware: https://go-fed.org/

Of particular interest are his feelings about #JsonLD as a substrate for the protocol. Also some hints about implementation headaches in the Q+A: https://conf.tube/w/bSyXduZZPpWkx8SsLoAr7t

PS: Looks like CJ's contact info got lost in the recent mastodon.technology implosion. If anyone knows where he landed, please LMK.

Hello Zlatko. Thank you for the support, I appreciate it. 🤛

At this point, I still am digging into #gofed. I want to have a self-hosted #activitypub server that is able to federate with any instance that supports the protocol. If that is possible, that is. If I find the time, I will try to bring up a #gosocial instance on my local NAS with #docker as a training project.

Thanks again for the tip and the link and have a good day!

@cj@mastodon.technology I see #activity (part of #gofed ) has extensive testing which is great. I'm curious about your thoughts on end-to-end or integration testing for #activitypub libraries or applications.

Something to replace the now defunct https://test.activitypub.rocks/ maybe? Or another approach?

Thank you to everyone for supporting #openweb projects and spreading the word.
I think 2019 will be the year of next generation fediverse projects like #Anfora, #Funkwhale, #GoFed, #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Plume, #Prismo, #WriteFreely. #activityPub #fediverse #federation
