I've been rebuilding my federated social media protocol, Jonline (https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline) for a while. Agents have really changed the game for what I can do with platform of mine, and this is one of the things I like the most. Among many things, they've made it very easy to make my Events platform an "ICS aggregator/repeater/router" of sorts. Eventually I'll post a blog post here about it. Plus, at the moment, it's a good demo of federation of events from my band's site (https://ato.band), since we happen to have 2 gigs this weekend :)

I’ve been working on an Elm rewrite of the React FE of my federated social media service, Jonline (https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline). It’s up at https://jonline.io (and https://bullcity.social and http://oakcity.social). Agents have been huge for me. In addition to the Elm app, I used them to: - build out ffmpeg/imagemagick image/video resizing - unify all my servers behind one Traefik ingress - build proper cross-site auth with a public/private key pair generated in the browser - create Homebrew/macOS and Linux tarball distros of my service - build an iCal calendar sync feature (if you browse the sites, you’ll see many of the events are synced from locally-oriented ICS feeds) I also set it up to run my band’s new website at https://ato.band.

This is what I built Jonline for. Haven’t maintained it for a while, but it’s quite functional as-is. Basically a very vanilla Twitter/Reddit-with-first-class-calendar-events, standard Rust web+gRPC server on Postgres DB, React web UI, and no encryption other than HTTPS/TLS. No server-to-server communication, just username/password auth. Super easy to understand APIs (https://jonline.io/docs). (I do need to build better cross-server auth, but this can be done in the FE only with the existing APIs.) Can boot it in a Docker container in seconds. A few “demo” instances I run are linked from the Readme: https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline

I built Jonline for this purpose. If you’d be interested in deploying it, I’d love to help. https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline
