I'm excited to share a little thing I've been working on!
Over the past few months, I've been studying the various #ActivityPub OSS projects that are based on #DotNet / #CSharp. This started as personal research - I wanted to see how everyone else is tackling the unique challenge of implementing ActivityPub (with the oddities of #ActivityStreams and the structural incompatibility of #JSONLD) in a strongly-typed language like C#. It ended that way too - I got some ideas and moved on with my project. But I was unhappy with the overall state of .NET ActivityPub implementations, so I decided to continue the research in hope of encouraging development in this area.
As of yesterday, I've finally reviewed the very last project that I'm aware of. And to share those findings, I've put together a little website / index thing with information and links to all the project repositories. Its simple, its basic, but I hope its useful to the other #FediDev peeps out there!
You can get to the webpage itself at this link, and I welcome feedback, corrections, and contributions on GitHub.
I plan to do a bit more work on this, particularly to implement a search function. But I decided to go ahead and post it now because it turns out that there are way less of these projects than I'd hoped. :blobfoxsad:

I have used ActivityStreams library from @KristofferStrube, as far as spec conformance, it seems quite good, lots of tests with direct samples from the spec. Along with his ActivityPubBot, it's a great starting point for .NET AP development.
