@anildash ...I'm looking for some kind of clean browser extension and/or more page-level visible option to click-and-follow, now. Support won't be obvious.

@cdevroe @ChrisPirillo how could StreetPass be more akin to the original UX of the RSS icon? Maybe by showing the current page’s linked profiles at the top of the list, regardless of if you’ve seen it already?

@tvler @ChrisPirillo I think if a webpage is ActivityPub-enabled (e.g. a WordPress.com blog with the ActivityPub plugin enabled) Street Pass could somehow show that. It wouldn't link to an account because the webpage itself is the account. Might be a nice addition to Street Pass.

ActivityPub already has an icon for better or worse.

activitypub.rocks/

activitypub.rocksActivityPub Rocks!

@cdevroe right I see now, so a little different use case. I think that’s a cool idea!

@cdevroe have some ideas after thinking about it over the weekend. This is gonna be the next thing I work on for StreetPass 😄

@tvler 🙌

@pfefferle Is there an HTML tag added to WordPress blogs that have the ActivityPub Plugin enabled that would allow Tyler's extensions to notify users? I looked through your blog's source but none stand out to me.

@cdevroe @pfefferle I think the most robust way to do it would be to allow this webfinger pattern to work: pfefferle.org/.well-known/webf , where the account resource is a link to an activitypub profile

Right now, WP blogs only respond to pfefferle.org/.well-known/webf , where the account resource is the username@domain scheme

Other platforms such as mastodon correctly respond to both webfinger requests, which is how streetpass works! i'm happy to open up a PR this week! both requests are spec-compliant btw

@tvler @cdevroe this works if you install the WebFinger plugin! The built in version is as simple as possible for now.

@pfefferle @cdevroe This is cool thank you! Would you be okay with me opening up a PR to get this webfinger scheme to work? notiz.blog/.well-known/webfing (this scheme is already supported by mastodon)

it would return the same data as notiz.blog/.well-known/webfing

@tvler @cdevroe sure, but then let's implement it for all possible users, not only for the domain

@pfefferle @cdevroe yea that sounds great! I haven’t looked too deep into the WP activitypub plugin yet but will be sure to be thorough 😄
