I'm working on a Rust library for building ActivityPub apps:

https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/src/branch/main/apx_sdk

This code was originally a part of Mitra, but over time I moved re-usable functions into independent packages and then started using them in other projects, Activity Connect and fep-ae97-client. Compared to activitypub-federation-rust, it is a low-level library with fewer dependencies, suitable for both servers and clients. The key feature is support for nomadic identity.

Currently there's no documentation and API is not well designed, but I will be improving it. The license is AGPL-3.0

#fedidev #fep_ef61

FEP-ef61 updates:

- Replaced did:apkey with did:ap:key. With did:ap as a base, other similar DID methods can be constructed. For example did:ap:web can be used to delegate key management to a web service.
- Accordingly, resolver endpoint was changed from .well-known/apkey to .well-known/apresolver
- Added image attachment to object example. Objects have a signature that proves their authenticity, but attachments can't be verified in the same way. digestMultibase property solves this problem.

I also updated all related FEPs:

- FEP-8b32
- FEP-c390
- FEP-ae97

@iwojima @mint I might need to add a rule that associates .loki domains with http: URL scheme (there are similar exceptions for .onion and .i2p domains).

Activity Connect, my little side-project, has reached usable state:

https://codeberg.org/silverpill/activity-connect

- Follow, unfollow, create and delete posts - basic activities are supported. Translation is not perfect but can be improved in the future.
- Allowlist-based bridging
- Tor and I2P are supported
- Media URLs are not translated
- Compiled to a single binary, uses SQLite database, configured with environment variables

#Mitra v2.7.1

https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/releases/tag/v2.7.1

This release fixes 3rd party client authorization in Chrome-based browsers

#Mitra v2.7.0

https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/releases/tag/v2.7.0
https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-web/releases/tag/v2.7.0

Highlights:

- Media uploads from Mastodon API clients. Tested with Bloat-FE (uses /api/v1/media) and Phanpy (uses /api/v2/media).
- Showing lightbox if clicked on attached image.
- Images in gallery can be viewed without opening posts.
- "Repost with comment" (currently hidden in post menu and only available in thread view, not in timeline view).

@enafore I tried Enafore some time ago and noticed that it sends a request to /search API endpoint with a 3rd party URL on behalf of the current user.

I don't remember the exact URL, something containing "stats" and "pinafore". In other words, a tracker, likely a remnant from the original codebase. Could you remove it?
