About

Pandacap is a personal art gallery and feed reader, built on ASP.NET Core and Azure.

Pandacap is a single-user application. This Pandacap instance hosts:

  1. A public art gallery of the user's posts (split between image posts on one hand, and text posts - journals and status updates - on the other)
  2. A gallery of the posts the user has "favorited" or "liked" on various sites and protocols
  3. An unlisted, but public, set of ActivityPub replies and mentions created by the user from within Pandacap
  4. A private "inbox" of posts created or shared by users who the main user follows, accessible only to the main user after logging in (split between image posts, text posts, shares, and podcasts)

The instance owner logs in with their Microsoft account (access is gated through Entra, by applying limits to the app registration they create in the Azure portal during the deployment process - see the README in the source control repository for more detail).

ActivityPub

Pandacap acts as an ActivityPub S2S server, hosting a single actor. This allows Mastodon and Pixelfed users to follow the Pandacap user and see image and text posts in their inbox.

Journal entries will be federated using the Article type; other posts will use Note.
