Let's start with a list of projects:
- AppDotNet Alternative API
- An App.net compatible API implemented as an App.net client.
- ChatView for ADN Global - Follow @chatview for updates
- The best way to meet new people and join conversations on App.net. (An IRC-like view for the global stream)
- Vidcast - Follow @vidcast for updates
- An interactive video group playlist project with @q and @duerig
started at the first ADN #hackathon
- #MondayNightDanceParty - Follow @mndp for updates
- Monday night's are no longer boring, send your song requests and enjoy finding new music. I mainly help out with integrating new web services and provide support to users
SIDENODE: I was reluctant to call myself part of this project because I was a fan first but after recently being involved in the planning meeting, I realize that I'm part of the team. Thanks @jdscolam and @33mhz.
- ADN Stats
- Want to know how the last 24 hours have treated App.net? I've attempted to revive @clint's appnetstats.com
- AppBox - Follow @appbox for updates
- a gateway, so you can read App.net posts and messages in any modern email client. I built this IMAP gateway entirely at the 2nd ADN #hackathon
- List App - Last Update 4/20/13 - Follow @listapp for updates
- Create, share, subscribe and manage lists of users, read the combined stream of posts. Made for @teawithcarl as my first messaging API project. Thanks to @duerig for the domain name
- Project Llama - Last Update 1/26/13 - Follow @llama for updates
- Working with @adrianus on a tag-based user annotations system for interest matching and match making.
- AppDotNetPHP - Last Update 3/12/13 - Follow @adnphp for updates
- I'm a collaborator on AppDotNetPHP, a PHP library for communicating with App.net. I did work on stream markers, channel/message API, CheckScopes and response envelopes. Polished and tested the streaming API too.
- JSON description of the ADN API - Last Update 2/10/13
- Hoping to make writing API libraries easier. You should be able to load in this data structure and create the appropriate functions.
Duerig's appnet.js based on this work.
- API.Priv.IM - Last Update 1/4/13
- Working with @ravisorg to establish a cross-client encryption standard for ADN
- Annotations wiki - Last Updated 8/2/13
- Working with @orian and @ravisorg on an automated way to populate a wiki that developers can then edit with all the information about annotations.
This should provide a consistent source for information about annotations.
The hope is get developers to re-use existing annotations rather than to build new ones,
as well as increase client adoptions of these ADN extensions.
This is a work-in-progress. Annotations documentation available for the following ADN objects:
- ADNServer.org projects
- @davidkrauser has a shell server, @server, available to any one on ADN that wants an account.
- Catalog of ADN widgets
- My catalog of ADN Web Widgets that I found.
- PubSubHubbub implementation
- PuSH is a Web-standards publishing relay standard that enhances RSS feed distribution created by @haxor and maintained now by @julien. I've created a simple hub for App.net that's linked into the streaming system to trigger updates. This was a really fun, short and sweet project to do. Didn't take long to implement, harder to find people interested in using it.
- Account sponsorship project
- My first ADN project, a kickstarter like system for people that want ADN accounts but not necessarily afford them. On hold until there's more interest. Amateur developers that can't afford a developer account should check out @duerig's Dev Lite project.
- ActivityStreams implementation
- A work in progress. I have the basic structure done, just working on flushing out verbs and objects to be more detailed. Also looking for testers to validate it.
- CAJA: CWA's ADN JSON API (I love it 4 acronym together! can it be any more cryptic?)
- My own secret sauce for supporting all the features I want from ADN. This also provides a wrapper so I can abstract the datasource from the applications.

Why I joined ADN
Was reading a lot of press. I want to see if they'd make their goal. With 5 days left things were not looking close. Then I checked back before their deadline (over a weekend) and they had made it!
I was like "hrm, I'll check it out". I never really got into twitter (or understood it well), so this was a big leap for me. I hope it would be like what I heard early Twitter was like and from what I can tell, it's better. The small community is really of quality members.
Favorite ADN Event:

Favorite ADN Clients:
- Web
I'm a big fan of @q's quickApp though I hardly use it any more.
I find myself ending up on Alpha for a quick and dirty post. I use Dabr to post images
- iOS
I got my iPhone 5. I started with Rhino but switched to Rivr utilizing Ch.eer.io. Now finally purchased Felix. Hope to pick up #PAN next. Just got NetBot and SpoonBill. I love SpoonBill's animation, that's a nice touch.
