A minimalist, federated blogging platform speaking ActivityPub, so posts can be followed from Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. Its standout trait is a clean single Go binary that federates without the operational weight of larger Fediverse software.

⚙ Full Stack
Single Go binary implementing a federated blogging server with ActivityPub support, backed by SQLite (default) or MySQL for production, and rendering server-side templates for the public-facing blog pages.
📈 Scaling Analysis
The Go binary itself is efficient and can be pointed at MySQL for real production scale, but ActivityPub federation adds inherent complexity (inbox delivery retries, signature verification, follower fan-out) that caps how far a single instance can grow before needing queue-based delivery workers.

Single-pod deploy for small instances (SQLite on a persistent volume) or app pod plus `mysql.pod:3306` for larger ones; ActivityPub federation requires a stable public HTTPS domain since remote servers verify signatures against it, so DNS/TLS setup matters more than for a non-federated app.
