# fxfedi

fxfedi is very similar to all the other projects that are called `fx` - it takes in a fediverse link, and

spits out a version with better metadata than the first had. This is different from https://mas.to/ as mas.to relies on

the Mastodon API to fetch data, whereas fxfedi uses ActivityPub to fetch information - in theory this will allow it to

work across all fedi enabled content, and not just instances that implement the Mastodon API.

fxfedi is still in development and doesn't have a functional deployment yet, but hopefully it will be ready soon!

### Usage

Make sure to install Deno: https://deno.land/manual/getting_started/installation

Then start the project:

```

deno task start

```

This will watch the project directory and restart as necessary.

## Todos

- [ ] Make it respect any #nobot tags in author bios

- [ ] Fetch instance robots.txt and check incoming useragent against it

- [ ] Provide documentation on how instances can block the bot from fetching posts

- [ ] Redirect non-bot visitors to original post

- [ ] Better 404 page

- [ ] Better caching!!!!!!!!
