    πŸ†• blog! β€œSome updates to ActivityBot”

    It works! You can follow @openbenches to see the latest entries on OpenBenches.org, and @colours for a …

      I was temped to add versioning to #ActivityBot using:

      ```php
      define( "VERSION", hash_file( "xxh32", __FILE__ ) );

      But I've gone with boring old DateVer instead.

        @Edent @openbenches @colours
        That's fun! I just snagged Evan's ActivityPub book, so thoughts of random AP client bots bounced around my head as well.

          Well this is exciting!

          My little #ActivityBot server is through to the next round of the @nlnet grant application process.

          Still a long way to go, but rather encouraging.

          You can play with the code at https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

                                          I've just been awarded a grant from @nlnet's NGI0 Commons Fund for one of my open source projects πŸ˜ƒ

                                          I'm going to start doing some user research for #ActivityBot. I'd like to pay participants Β£20 / €20 for an hour of their time.

                                          This has to be a voucher (no cash or cash-like cards) so which would you prefer?
