## List of projects that have an ActivityPub implementation or are committed to one
2019-12-01 01:20:40 +05:30
*Note*: Most of these projects include both a back-end and a web client, but this list can also include projects that are only a back-end. Projects that are only a web app, for use with an existing back-end, will go on the [client watchlist ](https://git.feneas.org/feneas/fediverse/wikis/watchlist-for-client-apps).

#### It's Dead, Jim
2018-12-11 15:41:37 +05:30
Projects that are officially abandoned by the maintainers or with no signs of life on their code repo or any other official channels for more than a year. Listed on this watchlist just in case anyone doesn't realize they're dead, and thinks we just didn't know about them. Also in case a project is orphaned, then reactivated by a new developer.
2018-12-11 15:41:37 +05:30
2019-06-11 14:29:50 +05:30

* [Calendar-social](https://gitea.polonkai.eu/gergely/calendar-social/) - was definitely planning to [implement AP](https://gitea.polonkai.eu/gergely/calendar-social/issues/122). Missing, [presumed discontinued](https://gitea.polonkai.eu/gergely/calendar-social/issues/123)
* [CloutStream](https://web.archive.org/web/20180808152307/http://cloutstream.com/) - proposed by [@mwpdx](https://mstdn.io/@mwpdx/100591379202470027) as a federated replacement for LinkedIn. Both @cloutstream and @mwpdx Mastodon.social accounts appears to have been removed from the server, all the project tools appear to be down, or removed from the host.
2019-06-11 14:29:50 +05:30
* [Fontina](https://github.com/beta-phenylethylamine/fontina) - proposed as a photo-sharing social media network. GH repo has gone read-only, and now says "dead project".

2019-06-11 14:29:50 +05:30
* [Quit.im](https://quit.im) - this was a photo-sharing web client for a GNU social server, rather than a completely separate app. It would become an AP implementation when the AP plug-in for GS is done, but it's been obsoleted by the release of PixelFed.
2019-12-01 01:20:40 +05:30
* [Smilodon](https://gitlab.com/tuxcrafting/smilodon) (server by Tuxcraft) - abandoned by developer "I'm now [working on Sminos](https://gitlab.com/tuxcrafting/sminos/issues/1) and so this will probably be 100% abandoned. There's not much to salvage, its code is cancer." Sminos appears to have never got beyond the initial commits.

Aside from project homepages and issue trackers, and comments made on the fediverse, the [SocialWG has a list](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/ActivityPub_network) of projects they hoped would implement ActivityPub and links to Issues where it's discussed. Also, there is an [implementation report on ActivityPub.rocks](https://activitypub.rocks/implementation-report/). @Mayel from Social.coop created a [web spreadsheet of AP apps](https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks) and their characteristics. More projects using AP are [profiled on We Distribute](http://wedistribute.org/) by Sean Tilley and his team. [Alternative.to](https://alternativeto.net/list/5696/activitypub) has a list of AP servers and client apps. The [ActivityPub tag on GH](https://github.com/topics/activitypub) is also a way to discover projects experimenting with AP.
