Blasta is a collaborative bookmarks manager for organizing online content. It allows you to add links to your personal collection of links, to categorize them with keywords, and to share your collection not only among your own software, devices and machines, but also with others. What makes Blasta a collaborative system is its ability to display to you the links that other people have collected, as well as showing you who else has bookmarked a specific link. You can also view the links collected by others, and subscribe to the links of people whose lists you deem to be interesting. Blasta does not limit you to save links of certain types; you can save links of types adc, dweb, ed2k, feed, ftp, gemini, geo, gopher, http, ipfs, irc, magnet, mailto, monero, mms, news, sip, udp, xmpp and any scheme and type that you desire.
Blasta is a federated bookmarking system which is based on XMPP and stores bookmarks on your own XMPP account; to achieve this task, Blasta utilizes XEP-0163 (Personal Eventing Protocol) and XEP-0060 (Publish-Subscribe). Blasta operates as an XMPP client, and therefore, does not have a bookmarks system nor an account system, of its own.
Blasta has a database which is compiled by aggregating the bookmarks of people who are participating in the Blasta system, and that database is utilized to relate accounts and shared links.
Welcome to Monolith Tracker, a collaborative effort on tracking the Monoliths that are appearing around the world. We need your help report new monoliths that we are missing.
On November 18th 2020, a group of Utah DWR Biologists were flying in Southwest Utah on an assignment to count Bighorn Sheep in the area. What they saw next kickstarted possibly the most ‘2020’ news story the world has ever seen. A large metal monolith, approximately 9.8 feet tall, was standing in the middle of the desert, miles from the nearest town of Moab, Utah.
They kept appearing. There have been 19 total monoliths, plus an additional 5 confirmed fakes, and they are seemingly growing exponentially. Are they all connected? Which ones are real, which are simply knockoffs? This mystery is far from over. With the way that 2020 has been going, it is likely just beginning.

Emissary is the standalone Fediverse server designed for end users, app creators, and hosting admins — that gives everyone powerful new ways to join the social web. Supports Activitypub, RSS, Indieweb microformats and web mentions, and whatever else you build on top.
Build custom, social applications in a simple, declarative, low-code environment. Using only HTML templates and a JSON config file, you can create full-featured social apps that are easy to deploy and easy to maintain. This is done by building action pipelines out of simple, composable steps, like: "show an edit form", "create a thumbnail", and "save the object". Pipelines work alongside Emissary's built-in state machines and access permissions to form robust and secure applications that you and your end-users can trust.
Uses MongoDB as its back-end.
BookWyrm is a platform for social reading! You can use it to track what you're reading, review books, and follow your friends. It isn't primarily meant for cataloguing or as a datasource for books, but it does do both of those things to some degree. With ActivityPub, it inter-operates with different instances of BookWyrm, and other ActivityPub compliant services, like Mastodon and Pixelfed. This means you can run an instance for your book club, and still follow your friend who posts on a server devoted to 20th century Russian speculative fiction. It also means that your friend on mastodon can read and comment on a book review that you post on your BookWyrm instance.
