Collaboration with Ghost

Opened this issue ยท 8 comments

Reach out to Ghost to talk about collabrating? activitypub@ghost.org

This came through the Hypha chat, and there was the suggestion that we should reach out to Ghost and say hi since DP is already doing this thing. https://activitypub.ghost.org/
Maybe this is something Ania can look into? Maybe we can send them a welcome to the Fediverse on Mastodon or something Sutty Bridge
We will be the first to be able to federate with them. Their partner, Buttondown, is not even done yet.
Akhilesh Thite: can reader read their feed?

FYI they are inviting folks to reach out to them proactively from that post I think we should
If any other platforms want to work together, drop us an email on activitypub@ghost.org.
Can we draft an email and try to set up a meeting?

Hi @RangerMauve I remembered that you suggested to write down a very spontaneous summary ("word vomit" ๐Ÿ˜†) about this collab, and I can work over those words and reach out to them

Word vomit:

Main goal is to see if they would be interested in collaborating.

We've been working on our ActivityPub and static site publishing and reading stack for around a year and have learned some tricks to get static sites resolvable on major implementations like Mastodon. We've also worked with receiving and processing acvites from different sources and handling moderation.

One of our projects, reader.distributed.press makes it easy for people to load activitypub data directly from outboxes without needing accounts which might be useful for user onboarding and compatibility testing.

We're also experimenting with publishing activitypub data onto distributed web protocols in case they're interested into that.

Would they be interested in chatting about interoperability and cross-pollination?

Email sent on May 16th. Awaiting answer / follow up

hey @sutty-coop - have you got any answer? If not, can you try to follow-up and put me into cc with my hypha email, please? ๐Ÿ™

hey Petr, no, we did not get an answer. I will insist and copy you in the email :)

Hi @pp2tech I just took some time to explore Ghost website and understand a better way to reach out. I noticed they have a nice newsletter and they expect interactions with the community around it. Hence my email for them today, it had a tone similar to their writing. I hope they'll reply. Apologizes on not adding your hypha email, I just noticed you had asked that when coming back to this issue.

Second mail sent to them, in response to their newsletter, with no reply.
We could try answering to a public tweet ... any ideas on what to comment?
