## Configuration
+You will need:
+1. 1x server with a domain name and reverse proxy
+2. 1x client device (can be same as server)
+3. 1x brain fluent in Python and ActivityPub
+4. 1x pain tolerance

## Usage

+Alright, time for the real deal. Start up `python server.py` on your server, and reverse-proxy it so you actually have TLS. If you want to customize the port or whatever, just change the source code.
Now on your client device, open up your favorite C2S ActivityPub client... oh wait... there aren't any! Welp, you'll just have to settle for reading the [AP spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/), writing some homemade JSON, and figuring out how `python client.py` works. That's rough, buddy. You'll have to learn how to manually write `Note`s, manually accept follow requests, and more! You can find some examples in this repo. HTTP signatures are generated client-side, for no good reason other than it works. If you want to view your unread messages, just `curl` your inbox. Easy as that. (screaming in pain sounds)
