delightful-fediverse-apps/watchlist-for-activitypub-apps.md

This is the list of projects that may be implementing ActivityPub, which began in issue https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/issues/8

Note: none of these apps ought to be added to the official fediverse.party site until they have been tested with at least one (ideally 2-3) of the AP apps already listed, and can be confirmed to federate successfully. Once it is on the official site, it can be removed from this list, keeping it a list of apps to be watched/ tested.

The [SocialWG has a list](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/ActivityPub_network) of projects they hope will implement ActivityPub and links to Issues where it's discussed. Also, there is an [implementation report on ActivityPub.rocks](https://activitypub.rocks/implementation-report/). @Mayel from Social.coop is maintaining a [web spreadsheet of AP apps](https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks) and their characteristics. More projects using AP are [profiled on We Distribute](https://medium.com/we-distribute) by Sean Tilley. From these and other sources (see links), it looks like all these apps are either considering, working on, or already rolling out AP support:

*Social network, Microblog Apps*

* [Read.as](https://github.com/writeas/Read.as) - a reading app for long-form text shared over the fediverse

* [write.as](https://writing.exchange/@write_as/100545043913590519)

*Link-sharing Apps*

* [Anancus](https://gitlab.com/tuxether/anancus)

* [Prismo](https://gitlab.com/mbajur/prismo)

*Media-hosting Apps*

* [Anfora](https://github.com/anforaProject/anfora) (formerly Zinat) - image sharing

* [FunkWhale](https://medium.com/we-distribute/funkwhale-an-open-source-grooveshark-alternative-begins-activitypub-implementation-cbc10a412b20) - music streaming

* [MediaGoblin](https://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/5503) - streaming of any and all media files

* [PixelFed](https://pixelfed.org/) - image sharing

* [Quit.im](https://quit.im/) this is a photo-sharing web client for a GNU social server, rather than a completely separate app, so it will become an AP implementation when the AP plug-in for GS is done.

*Events Apps*

* [Calendar-social](https://gitea.polonkai.eu/gergely/calendar-social/issues/122) - no specific mention of ActivityPub on the repo but rumour on the fediverse is that it will be an AP app. I will post a question on their issue tracker.

* [GetTogether](https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether/issues/60)

*Files, Contacts, and Calendar Syncing Apps*

* [NextCloud](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/activitypub-the-new-standard-for-decentralized-networks/26381) - seem to be only using AP for internal federation?

A place to list rumoured projects for further research, and vapourware, projects that have been planned but no usable code has been written yet.

* [CloutStream](https://pinafore.social/accounts/25168) - a federated replacement for LinkedIn
