It’s crazy that besides the protests in the streets all that is left to do without openly taking arms is to fight legally against the very US administration that should uphold accountability in the first place.

J’ai peut être la mémoire courte mais j’ai l’impression que même si le secret bancaire a été cassé ça n’a pas empêché à tout ce petit monde de continuer leurs petits stratagèmes pour fuir l’impôt en mettant leurs assets à l’abri par d’autres moyens.

Une belle semaine pleine d’avancées sur plusieurs fronts au boulot mais en particulier :
- mobile app Android/iOs
c’est fou la quantité de bazar à tenir en compte dans le développement d’une application mobile .

The Dalai Lama’s message calls for peace, compassion, and dialogue. On the surface, it is hard to disagree with any of that. But there is a deeper problem in how this message is framed. By grouping together vastly different situations under the singl...

Fascinating to learn and put in practice mobile app development with an existing codebase (AngularJS member portal) for both #Android and #iOs
But the amount of bureaucracy it involves is astounding, all the while these two monopoly app stores (Google/Apple) are filled with spamware, malware and tons of dubious mobile apps.
The level of friction is huge.
One thing I know is that I will do my best so that our future mobile app is also published on FDroid and any other alternative store that make sense to use for distribution.

it really is … I’m tempted to build a unified reader as a separate plug-in but I know I’m going to traverse hell for this

La série Devs… quel flop vraiment. Limite le concept était intéressant au début et puis … fallait qu’un tech bro joue à God pour revoir sa fille.
Si ça se trouve les plateformes dominants d’aujourd’hui sont toutes des résultantes de traumatismes profond sur des gars qui feraient mieux de suivre une bonne thérapie.

Using Claude Code to build an ActivityPub implementation for Indiekit, based on Fedify, was the easy part. (and it was a lot of fun 😊)
Building the UI to actually consume ActivityPub content, and layering a Mastodon-compatible API on top of it that works with existing apps and plays nicely with other AP implementations… that’s the real challenge.
Eating FEPs for dinner and reading how other implementations do things is how you realize just how much work is still ahead — and how many pain points are still unresolved.
Right now, my Indiekit blog has:
IndieWeb (Micropub, Microsub, Webmentions)
ActivityPub (server + reader)
If I wanted to self-host my own ATproto PDS, I’d also need to build an “AppView” to consume Bluesky content.
So I’d end up with:
one reader for RSS (my current Microsub)
one reader for ActivityPub (my native, still ugly AP reader)
one reader for ATproto
That’s a lot of readers for different data streams coming from different protocols.
At some point I thought: what if I just used my Microsub UI to consume everything — not just RSS/Atom/JSONFeed/h-feed?
Since Microsub already supports channels, I figured I could inject an AP timeline into a Microsub channel.
That idea fell apart pretty quickly.
RSS and h-feed from IndieWeb sites are straightforward. I know I can reply, like, repost, or bookmark because the other side supports the same interaction model.
But the moment I had to deal with ActivityPub — likes, boosts, replies — everything became different. The Microsub plugin would have needed so many protocol-specific features that my implementation would drift far from other Microsub implementations.
And I really didn’t like where that was heading.
Microsub turning into a universal ingestion layer for everything? That felt like a guaranteed mess.
So I drew a line: Microsub stays scoped to RSS/Atom/h-feed/JSONFeed. That’s it.
And yet… I’m still torn.
Because instead of one unified UI to consume RSS, ActivityPub, and ATproto, I’m now building three separate readers.
And that honestly feels like a huge waste.
So I’m dumping this conundrum here.
Maybe somewhere between the Fediverse and the Atmosphere, someone has already figured this out — or at least has a better idea.
Do you?
