Apas: ActivityPub via email
https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html
The overarching goal is an experimental system to make ActivityPub federation stuff clearer for devs, sysadmins and advanced users.
The documentation is incomplete and the code is really not OK! But they always say it’s better to get stuff out the door for others to look at sooner. Maybe it inspires others to think about the Fediverse/ActivityPub in weird new ways!
PS thanks @emersion for your SMTP work!
Very interesting. It would certainly make doom scrolling harder. Email always feels more personal, like each message was sent specifically to me for a reason. As opposed to feeds, which feels like looking at cars as they drive by.
I think this system pushes against those boundaries. This sort of concrete brainstorming at the edges is such a crucial part of software evolution, so thank you.
