in reply to silverpill • • •@silverpill I mean it's basically all client-side
so, uh, view-source? : )
Don't make fun of my vanilla browser non-framework JS
Evan Prodromou
in reply to John Spurlock • • •@silverpill probably the bigger question is whether you want contributors.
Also, do you route requests through the b.s server if the remote server uses authorized fetch?

1. not sure yet - it's a passion project and still very early days (e.g. it does jsonld validation under the hood but not exposed in the UI yet)
2. yes (try a federated threads profile or post url, or gotosocial)

yes pretty limited at the moment. they do expose following/follower collection _counts_, but do not enumerate members
I would love to see a true 'replies' collection from them someday
on the bright side they do support inReplyTo, which I had not heard anyone mention before

thanks! send me any url or input you think it should be handling and I'll take a look
also if you see any weird rendering issues in the "visual" view
more tooltips and validations/recommendations are coming

in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •every property is listed, and clickable, in the json and outline structured views
in the visual view, any unknown properties (if present) are rendered kind of like the outline view, just above the expandable details section

in reply to John Spurlock • • •The idea here is to make it a bit easier to see how well the various players in the fediverse support the C2S side of the ActivityPub spec.
You can punch in any ActivityPub discoverable web url or fediverse handle, and BrowserPub will discover and display the underlying AP:
e.g.
social profiles: https://browser.pub/https://mastodon.social/@mastodon
or posts:
https://browser.pub/https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/113005517546136592
or fediverse handles:
https://browser.pub/@Gargron@mastodon.social
or even usernames (defaults to mastodon.social for now):

in reply to John Spurlock • • •BrowserPub defaults to a visual representation of the object (if a known type)
everything here is powered by ActivityPub, no server-specific APIs
you can also view the underlying ActivityPub object as JSON...

Please don't waver from this! It's so cool.
John Spurlock
in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •@evan hopefully this can help to make sure folks are supporting C2S as much as possible
I would love to get a standards-based oauth to inbox flow working, do you know of any implementations that support it?
was going to check out Mastodon's new oauth thing in 4.3, but I'm not sure they have any additional AP endpoints behind the auth wall
