Iirc there's someone writing an ActivityPub/mastodon client for 9. I think it was julienxx²?

I can send it to you as a private message if you are interested in it. It's not specific to social networks, but there might be interesting ideas. I also mentioned other interesting filesystem stuff like LisFS (which provides some nice search functionality based on filesystems and regular expressions). > There are various languages we were thinking of doing the implementation > in, ultimately some flavour of scheme.

Until then I can't really publish it. ² julienxx is on mastodon: @[email protected] . ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T00b3dc89a8df295a-M81ba032c01832102a8494164 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
