Little Boxes

/!\ Litepub support in progress

Tiny ActivityPub framework written in Python, both database and server agnostic.

Until a first version is released, the main goal of this framework is to power the microblog.pub microblog engine.

Features

  • You need to implement a backend that respond to activity side-effects
  • This also mean you're responsible for serving the activities/collections and receiving them
• ActivityStreams helper classes
  • with Outbox/Inbox abstractions
• Content helper using Markdown
  • with helpers for parsing hashtags and linkify content
• Key (RSA) helper
• HTTP signature helper
• Webfinger helper
