@sun So, I think the biggest problem with this proposal is that it requires a publicly accessible HTTP server. Is there a good reason for that?

WebXDC, for example, is designed for offline first apps. I am reading WebXDC docs right now and it seems to be compatible with ActivityPub. Maybe we should work on this instead?

@sun Mitra doesn't support scopes, but I can start adding them if needed.

I saw your FEP draft, by the way. Is it ready for review?

@silverpill wait, what the hell, WebXDC over fedi would be (almost) perfect, I need that!
The only friction point I can think of is how are we gonna do window.webxdc.joinRealtimeChannel ? I think Delta uses Iroh for that, and, ehh, maybe, but I'm not immediately on board with that. Maybe we can just ignore it and be fine with async apps? @sun

@lnkr @sun Yes, I think we can just ignore joinRealtimeChannel. It is marked as "experimental" in the docs, anyway

@sun @lnkr I think the equivalent of realtimeChannel can be implemented over ActivityPub too - client-to-client encryption is not very difficult. Iroh is not magic either - when it doesn't know how to connect to a peer directly it connects to a relay operated by the iroh team. I suspect this relay is used for the vast majority of iroh connections, so ActivityPub might be actually a better choice because AP servers can act as relays and we already have so many of them.
