'''Actiblog''' is a [[GitHub Repository]] developed as part of the [[Ampmesh]] ecosystem, primarily focused on supporting and promoting the [[Act I]] project. It functions as a tool and framework for gathering and publishing content related to Act I, especially in the context of combating misinformation and establishing its online presence against imposter projects. This is in response to entities like "ACT Labs" that have falsely associated themselves with Ampdot's work and values, and whose content has been described as "bizarre fanfiction/fan media".

== Purpose and Goals ==
The main purpose of Actiblog is to get the [[Act I blog]] online and ensure its content ranks highly in search engine results. This is a strategic effort to counteract entities such as "$ACT" and "ACT Labs". The long-term goal is for the official Act I blog content to outrank these external pages when users search for "Act I" or "ACT Labs". This is part of a broader strategy to "violently establish control" over the "Act I" name by demonstrating greater commitment through online content.

== Features and Functionality ==
Actiblog includes tools designed to:

* Download [[Twitter]] profiles, including associated images.
* Process [[Act I]] screenshots taken from Twitter.
* Match these screenshots with relevant [[Discord]] messages.
* Publish the processed content to the [[Act I blog]].

There are plans to integrate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities into Actiblog, potentially utilizing tools like <code>mistral-latest-ocr</code>, to convert image-based content into text.

The [[Act I blog]], which Actiblog populates, is built using [[Hugo]], a static site generator. Hugo’s capabilities allow for the automatic conversion of data artifacts into blog entries, streamlining the publishing process. Furthermore, the blog is specifically designed to be easily crawlable by search engines, supporting its SEO objectives. A dedicated blog post explains how the site is set up for crawlability: [https://act.fromour.page/posts/why-is-this-site-somewhat-slow/ Why is this Site Somewhat Slow?].

== Development and Collaboration ==
The Actiblog repository is co-managed by [[Ampdot]] and [[Joy]]. Joy has actively focused on its development, acquiring a new laptop to work on it more closely. Opportunities for collaboration exist, particularly for tasks such as processing images into text, which has been identified as a straightforward problem for [[Large Language Models|LLMs]] combined with OCR technologies. Interested collaborators can receive a data folder upon cloning the repository.

== Consent and Attribution ==
Consent has been explicitly sought from individuals including [[Kaetemi]], [[SkyeShark (Utah Teapot)]], [[Andy Ayrey]], and [[Archipelago]] for their Act I–related Twitter screenshots to be rehosted and OCR-processed on the official blog. This highlights a commitment to ethical content reuse and community transparency.
