This week on #ProFed: federation is working – in one direction.
I can follow the ProFed test account from my #Mastodon account. The Follow request is accepted, the Accept is sent back, and the account shows up in the following list on Mastodon.
The other direction has all the pieces in …

I have finished the outward architecture of #ProFed as a base for discussion. I've used AI to help me put my braindump into a more consistently readable text. be prepared to see a free AI-isms, though it isn't terrible, I think.

This week on #ProFed: I've documented the outward-facing architecture – ActivityPub extensions, federated search, and how other systems can integrate with ProFed.

This week on #ProFed: I connected #Tokodon to the test installation – using the #Mastodon API.
The client API strategy: Mastodon API first,

This week on #ProFed: the web client has its first non-public page: the settings page, complete with login. It's also the first page that doesn't just display data but saves it too. Small step, but it means the full web client stack is now tested end to end.

HTTP signatures are not only generated for outgoing requests but also verified for incoming ones.

The discussion after my first post on #ProFed produced great feedback. I've been working on the website since.
In the meantime, development continues. I've started to work on the Profile Importer: a component that reads your existing online profile using `h-resume` #microformat ta…

This week on #ProFed: backend refactoring done, and the basic structure of the web client is in place.
I'm now working on the first pages – which also require new backend endpoints. Client and server are being developed in lockstep, as planned.
