     A general ActivityPub implementation would be awesome if it ships with a UI that supports every ActivityStreams verb!

     I think the Friendica project will be the first to reach this huge milestone!

     @dansup I don't know. If there's a library that could parse everything but didn't ship with a UI then we could have specialized UIs for each implementations.

     @jalcine Yeah but what if the backend couldn't handle specific features like filters or subtitles? You would need the logic in the backend because the client couldn't handle every specific feature.

     @dansup I figure the backend is just storing information - decoupled from presenter logic (that way one could actually have multiple frontends but one same core)

     @jalcine What if the backend has to process something like transcode a video or handle live streaming? It can't be decoupled.

     @dansup that's processing that wouldn't happen client-side (or presenter side). I'd figure something like video transcoding could be done and the proper information (bitrate, dimension, etc) could be exposed in the AP info.

     I also have not yet dug deeper into how to do a soups-to-nuts implementation of AP
