@ajr @dajbelshawWe've got things in the works looking at it from the learners perspective (self directed and peer learning) at https://haha.academy -

@Matt_Noyes I think @lynnfoster and @bhaugen know them -

@schmittlauch that sounds great, but while I'm very interested in several of the BoF topics, due to IRL responsibilities I'm not sure which ones or to what extent I'll be able to participate (maybe only on chat) -

@Argus bonfires often start among a small group of friends and then may attract neighbours and others who want hang out for a while. Also burning stuff is fun!

@Argus I think @dajbelshaw might want to weigh in, as PM of MoodleNet he steered the project through lots of obstacles, stuck to the values and mission with impressive strength, and held the team together through thick and thin. -

@witchescauldron @Hamishcampbell @adinfinitum @commonspub @msaundersAfter attending the Q&A I think two areas where we could collaborate are the tech (depending on your needs and which stack you end up choosing of course, it seems you have pretty unique requirements but at least our ActivityPub federation library might be useful), and the other would be figuring out and interop of federated topics (like hashtags but when you tag them that content federates to followers of the tag). -

@bamficNot quite yet, we've got a few apps in alpha stage of development, but we're trying to build this right rather than fast. @commonspub @bonfire -

Join us in 1h30 for a Q&A about @commonspub and @bonfire First watch the intro: https://conf.tube/videos/watch/d66cf9ea-e8bf-452e-bb36-e88a402e3da2Then connect here at UTC 14:30:https://bbb.fosshost.org/b/mor-bi9-lra-lit -

I get confused when I see a two factor input screen and then don't find that site/app in my two factor app. The i realise they just send a code to my email. Can you at least send a link rather than have me copy paste a code? -

@mariusorIn terms of the underlying backend schema in the backed, in the first case you'd probably have a standard ORM and relational DB, whereas in the second you go use NoSQL (or JSON stored in some other way, like a postgres JSONB field) @bonfire @commonspub @apconf -

@mariusorHere's a rough example, querying for an actor. First with a fully specified regular graphql API you might do "{actor { id name summary}}" and get back '{actor: { id: "http://instance.tld/alic", name: "Alice", summary: "I love web standard"}}' While using a JSON scalar you might do "{actor { id data }}" and get back '{actor: { id: "http://instance.tld/alic", data: {name: "Alice", summary: "I love web standard"}}}' @bonfire @commonspub @apconf -

@mariusor @bonfire @commonspub @apconfI'll try to come back to this later, as I'm also attending a Q&A -

@mariusor @apconf @commonspub @bonfire Now I'm not saying that doing something like C2S but in GraphQL (with raw JSON) would be a desirable thing, but you could do something in between, like implementing some types but putting any unrecognised fields in a JSON `additional_data` field -

@mariusor @apconf @commonspub @bonfire You're right, that's the correct way to use GraphQL, but you can use a scalar type to pass arbitrary JSON in a query/mutation or response. Example how that's done in Elixir: https://gitlab.com/CommonsPub/Server/-/blob/flavour/commonspub/lib/extensions/graphql/types/json.ex -

@schmittlauch hi! let's connect around taxonomies -

@mariusor @bonfire @commonspub @apconf Well, if you were trying to do something like AP C2S in GraphQL you could simply using a JSON scalar with raw ActivityStreams data, but while handy would defeat the purpose. What we've done is creating GraphQL dedicated types and queries/mutations for every data type in the application. But while we still have a GraphQL API, that's no longer our approach to acheiving the goal. -

Very interesting discussion, thanks!Several of you mentioned a desirable future where you could have one identity on a generic server that you use via many client apps that each do their specialized thing, which is a goal we share for @commonspub My understanding is that a blocker to that has been the lack of adoption of AP C2S (with apps using more specialized APIs like Mastodon’s instead). We initially tried to address that in CommonsPub by structuring the database and AP library in a generic enough way so it can handle any types of activities and objects and by implementing a GraphQL API so that client apps would have very powerful and flexible capabilities to create custom features and experiences (without the complexity of implementing ActivityStreams or JSON-LD).I think we made a breakthrough recently though, thanks to using LiveView which enables us to build realtime web apps in Elixir (a backend language) without any JavaScript or frameworks like React. With our new project @bonfire what this means is that instead of client apps having to be something that runs in your browser or on your phone, the clients can be LiveView apps running on your device that’s plugged in at home next to your router, and the server hosting your identity is a generic AP-only service in the cloud which syncs with that device.(copied this response from SocialHub, since Discourse doesn't federate yet)
