Both projects are based on Semantic Web/Linked Data/RDF technologies, and both foster the decoupling of data storage from data usage. Data storage should stay in total control of the end-user, and third party apps should request permission to access or modify such data.
We are thrilled to announce the official release of ActivityPods 2.0, a framework and platform that allows users to create a single account for multiple decentralised social applications while also providing developers with the tools to build and integrate these applications.

While we prepare the spring release of v2.0, we're delighted to announce the immediate availability of ActivityPods v1.5, which includes two long-requested features: simplified invitation links and contact groups. The purpose of this post is to introduce them to you.
Since this summer, thanks to a grant from NLnet as part of the NGI0 Entrust Fund program, we've been working hard on ActivityPods 2.0, with a planned release in spring 2024. The aim of this article is to explain this background work and what's at stake.
ActivityPods is built on top of SemApps, a toolkit for developing semantic web applications that dates back to the early 2010s. The technological choices that have guided and continue to guide the development of ActivityPods are intimately linked to SemApps and its philosophy.
