The source code this static site is built on, which enables ActivityPub support has now moved to its own dedicated project space. This means that we will no longer post news updates from here (https://FLEAR.org) regarding the development of the static site generator. Only posts related to Ham Radio and FLEAR will continue here.

If you came here to follow the static site generator only here are some links to follow it at its new home:

The new website is https://fedipage.com
The new handle to follow it on the fediverse is @fedipage@fedipage.com
The source can be found here: https://git.qoto.org/fedipage/fedipage/-/tags/v1.0.1
Detailed install instructions can be found in the README here: https://git.qoto.org/fedipage/fedipage
Here is a post detailing this release: https://fedipage.com/news/fedipage-v1-0-1-released/

Please note during this move the project has also been updated to be much easier to install from scratch. The instructions are in the README.

For those of you using our static site code for your own site, or following the progress, this update is for you. We have recently updated the code to move all hard-coded references specific to this site out to a configuration file where possible. This means we will very soon be moving the repo and starting up a new account solely for this sites software (so FLEAR can do what it was supposed to).

Please keep a close eye for our next status update, which hopefully will be to announce the new repo and home for this project. In the meantime the code is ready for more eyes.

The FLEAR website has now added tag support to its ActivityPub implementation. This will allow the tags on posts to be also tagged on its associated posts on ActivityPub endpoints. You should, in fact, be seeing the tags now below if you are viewing this from the Fediverse.

For those of you following the FLEAR site via ActivityPub/Fediverse we are Sorry for the recent flood of repeat notifications. We are working on our AP impementation and a bug caused a repeat sending of notifications. It has been fixed and should not happen again.

We have decided to open-source and package the code for this website under the Apache license v2 and is available immediately. We have also began reworking the code for the site, and the documentation, to make it easier for others to adapt. Once the site is ready for consumption we will make another announcement.

We have added ActivityPub support for this website!
