Another example of ActivityPub is learnawesome.org (which intends to be an equivalent of GoodReads but for all media formats, not just books). I recently implemented ActivityPub support in their webapp, so it's now possible to subscribe to a LearnAwesome user's book/course reviews and get that feed in Mastodon or any other ActivityPub client.
The ActivityPub standard is straight forward and was quite fun to implement actually. Here is the issue in case someone is curious how to do it in a Rails app: https://github.com/learn-awesome/learn/issues/121 https://github.com/learn-awesome/learn/issues/121
- Semaphor 7y agoI’m confused how a site about learning resources is supposed to be like GoodReads, a site about books.
- mathnmusic 7y agoYou can search for things, browse their reviews, add things to your collections, add reviews, follow people interested in the same topics, subscribe to topics to make a personalized dashboard - just like GoodReads. But you can do it for all kind of media like podcasts, courses, blogs, livestreams etc.
- Semaphor 7y agoSo it supports some features of goodreads in a completely different area. Seems like a strange comparison.
- lazyasciiart 7y agoSeems like most of those features are the basic features of a social content site - YouTube, for example.
