I was happy to get some time to hack on a new project at the #Fedicon#Minihackathon today. I built a #Jekyll plugin to output ActivityPub information (Webfinger, actor, inbox, outbox, all the objects and activities). It should generate a legit #ActivityPoll actor, which other people can follow remotely.

@evan Very cool! I work on another Ruby-based static site generator @bridgetown, so this is right up my alley!
I'm going to set up my GitHub home page to use it, and see how it works out. Wish me luck!
Hi @evan I just added the project to the curated list. It should be up after the cron kicks in at:
https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience
#ActivityPoll is a FEP for defining a static-site-friendly subset of ActivityPub.

i stopped reading at "It meets an equivalent need to RSS or Atom feeds."
isn't this a pretty good clue that the support should be the other way around.
that full-featured AP servers should understand RSS and/or Atom?
why do we need another format?
@evan so I actually read the whole thing and I like this 😀
I see the general value. Especially as a potential resource saver for tracking updates to bots.
I can see making some AP implementations easier, But I worry that those implementations would also be incomplete in a way that may be not obvious to end users.
This feels very similar to Atom or RSS, but I'm not clear, at first read, what extra features we're getting beyond simply publishing this as an Atom feed and letting consumers pick their protocol?
