Besides Mastodon, what other cool apps are being built on the #Fediverse and with #ActivityPub?
How about a food delivery service!
Already, @andresmh and @princeton are hard at work on this initiative!
We're not just taking on Twitter, we're taking on DoorDash and UberEats too! https://hci.social/@andresmh/109252466002148360

Now that the |Fediverse and Mastodon are a tiny bit more popular, it'd be easier to explain what we're trying to build at @princeton: a federated open-source food delivery platform. Like Mastodon meets DoorDash. We're even using ActivityPub.🌱 hci.social

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •After over a year of development I had some few clients and supporters in 2019 but most people didn't like the idea saying, why not just use Google maps?
Felipe :wyd:
in reply to Felipe :wyd: • • •I heard things like "if you are making a Yelp why don't use yelp?" very easy answer: yelp isn't available in my country!
-Then why not g maps?
-is YOUR restaurant there?
-no
-why not?
-I don't know how to put it there...
Then Uber eats, glovo and rappi launched and everyone who said no was there eventually, then in 2020 all business broke, then there were protests because of unionbusting

in reply to Felipe :wyd: • • •1. Why be a franchisee when you can be a member-owner? Might as well cut out the franchise middleman and claim more profit for yourself
2 Profit is derived by the means of distribution. When member-owners are served by their collectively owned distribution system, this increases their margins
This business model has been validated for hundreds of years!

mathematical function having a characteristic "S"-shaped curve or sigmoid curve
