Before I get sucked into writing my own... is there a light weight 'turn this site into an #activitypub' project out there already? Basically, add it to a static site and it treats all urls from that site (except the activity pub end points) as articles written by a user called @[email protected] or something similar. Bonus points for a little embed script that displays replies to the pages on the pages.

@mavnn euh i did that with justbsocial.eu when opt-in and you post on timeline with an # in it . The message goes to the Fediverse and receive reactions on that back. So you got the best Facebook alternative with #fediverse connection
@[email protected] Yeah, if I were creating any kind of "social" site I'd definitely be adding #activitypub compatibility these days. But I'm looking for projects at the moment that turn existing websites into a single user #activitypub server.
Something driven by an #rss feed could work as well?
@[email protected] Right! That makes sense. For my purposes I was more thinking of your single file PHP server ( shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/02/act... ) but instead of sending new posts via a form, instead watch a static site for updates and treat newly discovered pages as posts. As you demonstrate in that post, it wouldn't be an enormous project to write but it would take a moment to polish to production grade and I just wanted to check if it already existed.
@mavnn I power @openbenches using my ActivityBot.
I have a small Python script that looks for new RSS entries every 20 minutes and then posts them that way.
This feels a bit similar to the mini #activitypub servers I've seen @[email protected] and @[email protected] talk about, but if I've understood those projects correctly not quite the same thing.
