dev.bovine.social

This is a Fediverse application that is used to test things out in the wider Fediverse. You might be able to sign up for it soon, and test your own code.

Terms and Conditions

• This is for development. So the service comes with no guarantees of data persistence or availability.
• You should not use this service to scrape data from the Fediverse.
• You should not use this service to annoy other people. e.g. send unsolicited messages.

Background

My goal in writing roboherd was to be able to be able to Fediverse bots, by just implementing the business logic. A lot of the logic necessary to make the Fediverse work can be hidden from the bot author.

There is a long list of issues that are still somewhat unresolved, e.g. the only HTML page for the bots is this one. I'm still not sure how to give my bots a custom image (in a way I like).
