Hackers' Pub

<a href="https://wedistribute.org/2025/08/social-web-foundation-is-betting-big-on-client-to-server-api/" rel="nofollow ugc">It's well-known</a> that we love the <a href="https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-api/" rel="nofollow ugc">ActivityPub API</a> at the Social Web Foundation. I think it would be great for our community to have an ActivityPub API hackathon sometime this year -- hopefully this summer. Hackathons are a great way to engage a lot of developers really quickly. They also are a great way to test that an API has enough power to get people from zero to working app in a day or a weekend. I see a few great times to do this: <ul> <li><a href="https://dwebcamp.org/berlin-2026/" rel="nofollow ugc">DWeb Camp Berlin</a> in Berlin</li> <li><a href="https://fedicon.ca/" rel="nofollow ugc">Fedicon</a> 2026 🤞🏼 in Vancouver</li></ul>
