@noelle
For building an #ActivityPub-compliant site in #Python: #Django or #Flask?
@noelle im a fan of building stuff in flask but django is likely gonna be a lot easier
@noelle django, but that's the AP lib that lacks right now
@noelle I was thinking about doing one in Django
@noelle +1 for Django. I've never understood the charge that it's too "heavy" when talking about projects with more than 100 lines of code.
@noelle +1 for django.
I saw http://django-activity-stream.readthedocs.io/ but it's about Acivity Streams 1.0 (ActivityPub is based on 2.0). Maybe It can be usefull ?
@noelle You could probably do either. Incidentally, I work with the creator of Flask. 😛
If you do go with Django, though, I know someone trying to build a multi-protocol federation library for it: https://github.com/jaywink/federation
@noelle actually, looking at it further, I'm not sure it actually requires Django.
@deadsuperhero @noelle
Looks like that library doesn't require Django, just provides additional integration with it.
@0x1C3B00DA A federated Reddit-style link-sharing site, if I'm lucky.
@0x1C3B00DA Oh, really? That's actually a little discouraging, since I'm pretty sure anyone else working on this would be more competent than I am. I don't want to put work and emotional investment into this and then have nobody use it because there are better alternatives.
@noelle I definitely prefer Flask simply because it's pretty lightweight and lets you pick-and-choose other stuff as you need it, whereas Django comes with a lot of other baggage.
