BotKit is a TypeScript framework I've been building for creating ActivityPub bots that run as their own independent servers—no platform account needed, no Mastodon or Misskey instance to log into. You write a bot, give it a username, and it federates directly with the rest of the fediverse. It's built on top of Fedify, so the low-level protocol work is handled for you: HTTP Signatures, WebFinger, JSON-LD, all of it. What you're left writing is just the bot logic itself.
Version 0.4.0 is out today, with a PostgreSQL repository for production deployments, a remote follow button on the bot profile page, and a few other additions.

BotKit by Fedify 
@botkit@hollo.social
BotKit 0.4.0 is out! This release adds @fedify/botkit-postgres, a PostgreSQL-backed repository for deployments where SQLite isn't enough; a remote follow button on the bot profile page, so visitors can follow directly without manually searching from their own instance; and Session.republishProfile(), which lets you push profile changes to followers without waiting for the next post. It also upgrades the underlying Fedify dependency to 2.1.2, with a few small breaking API changes.
