KISDigital — ColdFusion, Lucee & BoxLang
My blog joined the fediverse
This blog is now on the fediverse as @blog@kisdigital.com. Follow it from Mastodon and new posts, edits and deletions reach your timeline within minutes; replies come back here as comments, and likes and boosts are counted. It's all powered by bx-activitypub, a new BoxLang module on ForgeBox and GitHub: your app answers four questions about its data and the module handles WebFinger, HTTP Signatures and delivery. Here's how it works, what I learned, and what's next.
