@vid you could build a research platform if you wanted to!

My vision is that ActivityPub will get adopted more, new apps and protocols and schemas will emerge with varying levels of interop, and this in turn leads to a thriving ecosystem of backend and front end apps, code, projects, and large and small businesses growing ecosystems around these things.

Are there specific things I want to build? I have ideas for small business, and a recipe protocol would be fun. Something with maps / places.

@vid the big vision is in #ActivityPub the protocol.

I can’t speak to Mastodon’s plans (although it is open source so people can help build it, fork it to be something different, or run custom instances).

You can run many different client front ends that change how you use Mastodon.

And build other types of apps. The “Article” type is for longer posts, and Postmarks is a bookmarking app https://github.com/ckolderup/postmarks

So it’s Twitter and Delicious and Evernote and lots of apps all together.
