Proposal: Modernizing CIMBA as Standalone App, solidOS Pane, and ActivityPub Bridge #28

Description

@melvincarvalho

It’s been about 9 years since CIMBA was actively developed. The Solid ecosystem and the wider social web have evolved significantly, and it may be a good time to revisit it.

I’d like to explore three possible directions:

  • Standalone client-side app: lightweight modern microblog UI, Solid-OIDC compatible, no server changes required.
  • solidOS pane: integrate CIMBA directly within solidOS as a first-class pane.
  • ActivityPub bridge: map CIMBA data to ActivityStreams 2.0 to interoperate with the Fediverse.

Suggested next steps:

  • Audit the existing data model
  • Define a minimal MVP
  • Assess ActivityPub mapping feasibility

If there’s interest, I’m happy to prototype a minimal standalone or SolidOS panes:

Architectural feedback especially welcome.
