What if web-browsers could render the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams JSON-LD source-code into the document it represents?
Fediverse clients can do it — why can't browsers?
I previously created a small-net / small-web browser client named SpaceMonkey.
It supports protocols such as Gemini, HTTP, HTTPS, Mercury, etc. And, formats such as GemText, HTML, Markdown, etc.
It now supports the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams JSON-LD format, too.

Howdy! I'm the nerd who's building #Emissary - an ActivityPub server for building custom social applications on the Fediverse. My first app on this platform is a music sharing server for indie bands, called #Bandwagon. And now I'm also working on #Atlas, a social mapping server for adding Federated annotations to places in the real world. If you'd like to talk about any of my projects, feel free to DM me here, or on Signal (@benpate.5280) ⁂

This is even more reason for us to include actual REST interactions in ActivityStreams objects, where each object told you what kinds of interactions you can do with it. Imagine #SpaceMonkey auto rendering activity buttons, too.
I don’t mean “stuff it into JSON and call it REST” that the kids are snorting these days.
More like: “OG Roy Fielding” “Hypertext As The Engine Of Application State” REST, that includes a manifest of activities you can perform / buttons you can click.
