I wish there was a decentralized blog platform where you could self-host and nodes connected by activity-pub.Something like a one-account Plume.

@dearrudeI think there is. I don't remember the name.WordPress also has some plugin for activitypub. But not sure in what stage of development it is.

@dearrude I'm getting the feeling that's how #gemini is sorta playing out. Except RSS/Atom instead of ActivityPub

@specter #gemini is a mess for rtl texts. Also having markdown is a bless for me.

@dearrude the same concept applies to HTTP+RSS I think Gemini just has the focus on text but yeah RTL ain't gonna work. Have you looked at write.as?

@specter Also in write.as, the RTL support is not good. The i18n translation is also not implemented in the opensource write freely.

@dearrude I wonder how hard it is to address RTL on either? w/ gemini I think the client would need to support it? And with Writefreely adding dir="rtl" to the HTML where needed?

@specter It's not that simple. A proper BIDI support would be check if a line is RTL/LTR by its first character. That's mostly what dir="auto" is but it gets harder when implementing it for interactive writing.

@dearrude I see so the editor implementation is the tricky bit? Or is straight-up rendering the content harder RTL?

@specter Certainly the editor implementation.

@dearrude Do you know if there are existing editors today that have this functionality and can export Markdown (or any plaintext format)?

@dearrude ahaha of course it does! I have so much love for Telegram. Anyway, that's opensource so worst-case they have the magic spell and it's something we could look into BUT, could be kinda cool to wire up Telegram -> Gemini

@dearrude this will be much easier with https://safeenetwork.tech because you won't need to worry about hosting and you can use a single login/id on every service/website.Earlier I made proof of concept blogs using Solid on Safe, and React static directly in Safe see https://dWeb.happybeing.comAtm I'm working on a proof of concept for a p2p git portal, as an alternative to github without servers or third parties involved: https://github.com/happybeing/p2p-git-portal-poc
