Once upon a time, working on a website granted you the title of "Webmaster". As the Web evolved, more specialized roles took over and the title fell out of favor.

Searching for it now, I don't find many job listings for "Webmaster". So now I'm curious: how far removed from that job title are we?

When was the last time you heard of someone with “webmaster” as their actual job title?

I recently discovered a bug in combination of ActivityPub and Multisite Language Switcher. Yesterday, I found the time to check what’s the actual problem and after great guidance from @obenland I could fix it and it’s already part of the new version 5.8.0, which came out today. 🎉

This way, contributing is really fun. 🥰

As we consider ways to implement #ActivityPub into our FOSS Community Calendar Ecosystem platform Koalagator, I've been looking over the differing specs for how to specify the event object schema.

Have any other folk wrestled with this?Asking before I get arms deep in this stuff.

For those playing at home...

Schema.org - Event

Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet.

W3C Activity Vocabulary - Event

This specification describes the Activity vocabulary. It is intended to be used in the context of the ActivityStreams 2.0 format and provides a foundational vocabulary for activity structures, and specific activity types.

Fediverse Enhancement Proposal
FEP-8a8e: A common approach to using the Event object type

ActivityStreams defines the Object Type Event. In real-world applications, the event object immediately showed the need for extension. Applications featuring Event objects have often chosen to add additional attributes and clarifications (i.e., interpretations) in order to implement their particular use case. This proposal clarifies and extends the ActivityPub standard to address the needs that have arisen in real-world implementations.

[HTML] Microformats - h-event

People are using microformats to mark up profiles, posts, events and other data on their personal sites, enabling developers to build applications which use this data in useful and interesting ways.

iCalendar Standard (RFC 5545)

iCalendar was first defined as a standard as RFC 2445 in 1998 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Today, iCalendar is used to import and synchronize events on various platforms, including smart phones, computer and web applications.

"Five years of React Native at Shopify"

➡️ shopify.engineering/five-years

ShopifyFive years of React Native at Shopify (2025) - ShopifyFive years ago, we announced that React Native (RN) is the future of mobile at Shopify. Today, we are excited to share the progress we've made, lessons learned, and what the future holds. To recap, we decided to switch to RN for 3 main reasons: Write it once - Stop building the same features twice, once on iOS and once on Android Talent portability - Enable devs to work fluently across iOS, Android, and Web Ship more value - Spend more time delivering value to users instead of chasing feature parity We’re happy to share that our transition has been quite successful: Not having to build the same features twice has given us a step change in productivity Engineers are able to work across web and mobile allowing teams to do more with the same number of people and unlocked new growth opportunities Maintaining feature parity between iOS and Android has become a non-issue, freeing up capacity to ship a lot more value Our apps are blazing fast (<500ms screen loads) and stable (>99.9% crash-free sessions) We continue to leverage native wherever it is the best tool for the job, giving us the best of both worlds Over the past 5 years, we have migrated all our apps to React Native. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach to do so, each team chose when and how to migrate their app. This allowed them to continue shipping features while also aligning with our strategy of leveraging RN. What did we learn? React Native apps are fast We care very deeply about performance at Shopify. As our CEO Tobi Lutke says, “not all fast software is great, but all great software is fast”. The biggest question we had while switching to RN and the main reason we didn’t do it sooner was whether we’d be able to achieve our performance goals with it. Before making the decision to switch, we did extensive prototyping which led to promising results. We also saw all the work that Meta
