@zinat What I was thinking is an easy way to add activity pub to any website including plain static html (no server-side processing).

It would act a bit like disqus. We host a server with all the activitypub WS endpoints. The user adds a html/js snippet to their pages to display a comment box (just like disqus). When they configure an account with us they simply point us to their RSS feed (and int he future we can add in html scrapping for sites without an RSS).

The RSS feed is used to construct their status updates, and provides links to the original articles (which also tells the system which comment section is associated with a status). If they post a new article (even just as static html using jeckyl or something) then the rss feed updates, our server picks that up and updates their stream.

If someone comments to a status then it will get displayed int he appropriate comment section back on their page. The user can also respond through the comment section (or go to the administration section of our site like with disqus as well).

In the end it would basically enable any site to get on the fediverse in a matter of minutes.

@zinat The website shouldnt need to do anything at all other than add a html/js snippet so that it appears ont he pages that display their posts. That and they need an RSS feed that points to their posts. But otherwise it should just work, yea.

Basically adding activitypub to your website would just be as easy as adding disqus.
