Hello, i just tested it and it's really cool! Do you have any idea about ActivityPub / XMPP PubSub gateways for interoperability? From a remote look, it appears mxtoot is a bot not a proper AP gateway, and bifrost doesn't support PubSub XEP which is used for microblogging/commenting. Supporting these protocols directly would also be an option, but i don't know an ActivityPub server that supports guest accounts (but XMPP servers do).
Too bad cactus doesn't work without JavaScript. Would it be possible in the future to support submitting a comment via simple HTML form for older/slower clients? A related annoying detail, '?' key is hijacked by JavaScript so it's impossible to type it in the comment box ;-)
Thanks for this demo i'm excited for the future of federated comments
- carlbordum 6y agoHi, I am one of the authors of Cactus Comments. Making Cactus Comments work without javascript would require a backend server. Right now, the frontend is actually just a special-purpose Matrix client that interacts directly with Matrix homeservers.
- southerntofu 6y agoHello, thanks for taking the time to reply. Isn't the matrix.org homeserver already a backend HTTP server? I'm unfamiliar with the matrix protocol, but isn't there a way to POST to homeserver directly so that it can authenticate and confirm with the user they intend to post this message?
