[snarfed] having spent a fair amount of time developing for all of them, I have to admit, Nostr is on the easy/low effort end of the spectrum, followed closely by mf2+webmention and most traditional silo APIs, then a big jump up to ActivityPub at above average difficulty/effort, then AT Proto at the high end
#
[snarfed] development effort and difficulty are obviously only two of many important metrics, of course
#
[snarfed] curious what others who've also developed for all of them think, [manton] [aaronpk] etc
#
[snarfed] (granted, Bluesky API is way easier than ATProto)
#
[snarfed] actually silo APIs and (maybe) mf2+wm may be slightly easier than Nostr. once you grok all the NIPs, developing for Nostr is easy, but the NIPs are so loose and spread out that ramping up on them all and how they fit together feels a bit chaotic for a while

#
aaronpk I haven't looked at Nostr at all yet, nor AT Proto, just the BlueSky API
#
aaronpk i agree that ActivityPub is a huge step up in difficulty tho

#
[KevinMarks] Bluesky API is still a lot more tangled than it needs to be
geoffo, omz13, tei_ and [manton] joined the channel
#
[manton] I agree with all of that… Nostr is fundamentally very simple, except it adds WebSockets which is its own wrinkle.

capjamesg Fun with programming languages: the lexer is returning two different trees for the same code.
