    I just noticed that Mastodon prefixes a user’s homepage route with the @at symbol. Pragmatic and clever name spacing? Tempting. Though I’d still prefer a URL of the form:

    text
    https://example.com/user

    Instead of:

    text
    https://example.com/@user

    Yeah… superficial, but it looks cleaner.

    A lot of websites dump the entire feed — that’s nice. Ideally for bandwidth efficiency, combine multiple delivery strategies.

    1. A partial content feed (Atom preferred) limited to the last 3/5/10 posts for quick queries.

    2. A full content feed of a similar limit for fresh content.

    3. A hidden/unlisted feed for dumping all content (mirror).

    Alternatively, just implement atom’s collection partial lists for feed pagination. If your post bandwidth (size/frequency) is low, then pretend you didn’t see this — be lazy and optimize later.

    Web mentions and reply by email? The first is easy thanks to webmention.io, but the second is very involved and requires a public email inbox setup.

    The space of software hosting forges is sizeable. Most techy people know about GitHub and GitLab but many software forges exist (if considering the entire world). Here’s a few of note.

    1. NotABug: Based on Gogs.
    2. SourceHut: Suite of free software development tools built from the ground up.
    3. Codeberg: Based on Gitea.
    4. SourceForge: Mainstream software hosting.
    5. Radicle: Decentralized on the service layer (discussions/issues). Git itself is distributed and decentralized.
    6. Savannah: Suite of software development tools from GNU.

    The is an interesting element in the specification — yeah another post about RSS. You could hash the content of a post and commit to the idea that it shouldn’t change.

    If a post changes, then the GUID would provide a trail of edits, with the drawback of possibly resurfacing an old post. This article from 15 years ago explores what feed readers did at the time when given a link and/or guid.

    Naming things is hard. For the times when you don’t know what or how to name things, there’s schema.org. Sometimes it helps.
