I’m looking to set up a one person super efficient “farm” to be the hub of a mutual aid network (it’s going to take a while to ramp up but I intend to support everyone I can as soon as I can, as long as they are worth supporting.. oooh sorry conservatives 6x prices for you..). I’m looking for a self-host able or fedi platforms, that maybe I can link to nearby mutual aid cells, perhaps. Or get them to join by mouthy-words?

You and @[email protected] would probably be good to chat about that :)

I don’t know shit about shit. I’d love to pretend I do but I don’t and getting competent people together is probably a win

That's really nice of you to say. You're obviously a good facilitator.

I'd suggest we use something already there and bolt on the necessary bits since it is already modular. I have mentioned dolibarr. It came to be as erp system with the ability to disable parts and write sour own modules. It of course is Foss and you can reduce it to say inventory, online shop, maybe procurement and finances, done.

Writing an activity pub module should not be that hard since it uses php and SQL. Full disclosure: I found it hard to make a module on my own but I didn't give it a lot of time next to my work.

Feel free to contact me by mail, matrix or signal if you're more familiar with that.

Huh, I wasnt originally planning on activitypub in what I'm building cause I see little reason for my group's needs, currently just thinking a basic api so you could hook several instances together. @[email protected] would that cover your use case or would a broader activity pub implementation be better?

(Also absolutely no promises this turns into something beyond just being useful to the group I'm involved in, but I would like to make it something broadly useful if I can with the time I'm able to put into it.)

Super sorry for the delay - life stuff got hectic

I think whatever you are planning would be perfectly fine for my needs, since I don’t need much. I was more just looking to see if it already existed but if it leads to a cool collab, that’s pretty awesome too and I’d love to use whatever comes out of it :)

Thats all fine. One, if anyone needs enything beyond your design they should improve on it and two, you're not obligated to do anything, let alone make stuff for people who you never met. I'm glad we connected and I will help if possible. Do you have a got where one can help with the project?

I just have it on a private Gitea server right now, I'll move it over to github and send you a DM with some more details
