Now that the Fediverse and Mastodon are a tiny bit more popular, it'd be easier to explain what we're trying to build at @princeton: a federated open-source food delivery platform.

Like Mastodon meets DoorDash. We're even using ActivityPub.

The vision: one day each town can run its own instance. Some towns can run multiple instances. Customers will use their preferred mobile client to connect to their nearest/preferred instance.

Instances can be local coops of restaurants/couriers.

@andresmh @princeton Amazing!!! I’ve been telling my friends that something like this would be great ever since I learned about ActivityPub a few years ago. As others have mentioned, coop.cycle is worth looking into, although I can’t remember what protocol they’re built on off the top of my head.

@Niloufar @princeton @gleemie thanks for sharing this! I read the abstract and it made me a bit sad but wanting to learn more.
