I've added a feature request to #Mastodon to display geotags.

Goodness me! The ActivityPub network is chatty.
In the last 6 hours, I've received 371 different messages to my single-user inbox.Most of which seem to be from servers announcing users have been deleted. They're not users or servers I've seen before.
Is this normal?

Image upload works! And those photos percolate through the #fediverse!
I still need to add proper alt text (just a static description for now).
And the UI is 💩
But I'm pretty pleased with how far I've got in a few hours of hacking away.
It is *totally* possible to build a location-based service on top of #OSM and #ActivityPub!

@PlaneSailingGames You are a little out of date.

🆕 blog! “Envelopes and GDPR”
Privacy is a funny concept, isn't it? Very few people want the whole world to know what medical complaints they have. But most hospitals are open-access buildings, where the waiting rooms have large monitors to tell patients that their doctor is running late. A few years ago I was sat in the proctology waiting room.

It's all working!
You can follow @edent_location for my "FourSquare-style" check-ins to locations.

📸 Upload and store photos.
🔣 Set the language text to prevent spurious "Translate" options.

Not the prettiest page on the web, but I can now Geolocate my phone and find the 25 nearest named places on #OSM.
Next stage is making a button to send that location to my ActivityPub server to send out a message.
(This is crappy code, poorly architected. Just a Proof of Concept.)

Nice! My toy server can now:
✅ Record who is following it.
✅ Post to multiple inboxes.
✅ Generate a permalink for its posts.It doesn't do:
❌ Signature verification
❌ Handling replies, likes, or unfollows (it is a read-only account)
❌ Showing number of followers, posts, etc.Pretty happy with that.
Next step - a UI so I can actually send custom posts.In conversation from mastodon.social permalink Attachments

OK gang! I now have an *extremely* basic ActivityPub server which can send messages to its follower!
Next steps:
* Record who is following it.
* Post to all followers (not just me).
* Stable URl for posts.
* Front end for picking locations nearby.
* About a dozen other things!In conversation from mastodon.social permalink Attachments

I've just reposted a public status from my new location check-in service.
It doesn't handle replies or likes, but you can follow it.
Expect buggy and untested weirdness 🙂

@evan Thanks Evan, I really appreciate that!
I've got the bare-bones working. I can now post a location. Let me know if you want to take a look at the account.In conversation from mastodon.social permalink -

🆕 blog! “Rebuilding FourSquare for ActivityPub using OpenStreetMap”
I used to like the original FourSquare. The "mayor" stuff was a bit silly, and my friends never left that many reviews, but I loved being able to signal to my friends "I am at this cool museum" or "We're at this pub if you want to meet" or "Spendi…

I fucking love the #Eurostar!
Such a civilised way to travel. Wander down to the station, minimal security, hop on a train, and a few hours later you're in the centre of town.The only thing that slightly spoils it is the decrepit station facilities at terminals. St Pancras, Centraal, and Midi are a bit cramped and dilapidated.

Is there a version of FourSquare / Swarm for the Fediverse?
I want to check in to a specific location and share that online. Not looking for badges and mayors etc.
Just a geotagged post saying "I am here".
