   I'm working on a Rust library for building ActivityPub apps:

   https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/src/branch/main/apx_sdk

   This code was originally a part of Mitra, but over time I moved re-usable functions into independent packages and then started using them in other projects, Activity Connect and fep-ae97-client. Compared to activitypub-federation-rust, it is a low-level library with fewer dependencies, suitable for both servers and clients. The key feature is support for nomadic identity.

   Currently there's no documentation and API is not well designed, but I will be improving it. The license is AGPL-3.0

     @gvlx @mariusor The blockchain integration component? It's going to stay in Mitra codebase. A small amount of related code is present in apx_core (encodings and cryptographic primitives), it is not for payments, but for experimenting with client-side signing.

     I agree that it would make more sense to maintain this library independently. Will do this before publishing it on crates.io

     Corrected post, thank you @mariusor .

     My original post was not an objection on the mitra project itself, only that it had a component which some might find unsuitable.

     I also don't like to juge or promote libraries without the full context, so was drawn to the top of the project and confused lib with proj.

     @gvlx I don't mean to talk for @silverpill but the post is about a library under AGPL, not his service built on top of it.

     You probably clicked on the wrong link.

     **CORRECTION**

     The library is a subset inside the mitra project and does not seem to have the payment logic inside (not there's anything wrong with it, but many people prefer to be alerted to that).

     It should be noted that it would make more sense to extract the library and maintain it independendly.
