(It wasn't clear to me if this was just for Mastodon servers — or if it would work with non-Mastodon servers, too. It was mentioned briefly from the audience.)

@reiver we have a Share (on Mastodon) button used in our blog at the moment - we should get it released as an open source component, and then it could be used as a basis for other things if desired.

@andypiper @reiver I've been fantasizing about a snippet library for validating and canonicalizing a fediverse (AP+WebFinger) handle. Drop in a handle/profile link/AP ID, receive full handle + web link if the input is resolvable.
Target audience would be sites that don't have full fediverse integration, but want to give people a way to link to their fediverse profile. I've seen handle vs. username vs. ID vs. URL cause confusion.
Should be <50 LOC in most languages. And let's make it CC-0.
