<p dir="auto">I'm implementing it now (as you noticed) and have run into an interesting issue. The wording of 3b86 <em>suggests</em> that the intents are distinct between users. That is, the end user inputs their <strong>handle</strong>, the <strong>handle</strong> is queried via webfinger, and supported Intents are returned.</p>
<p dir="auto">However, the intents themselves don't really distinguish between users.</p>
<p dir="auto">So I could have a <code>localStorage</code> session with multiple handles registered (e.g. <code>julian@activitypub.space</code>, <code>nodebb@fosstodon.org</code>), etc. — this works fine.</p>
<p dir="auto">But if I had two handles <em>with the same domain</em>, <code>alice@example.social</code> and <code>bob@example.social</code>, then my intents can't be targeted, can they... I just fire off the request (or rather, I have the end user's browser navigate) to the intent URL and whatever account is logged in will be the actor.</p>
<p dir="auto">Did I miss something, or was there a way to distinguish actors in Activity Intents?</p>
<p dir="auto">P.S. I find it highly amusing that you had to click through to activitypub.space to read my whole post, but because I don't support Activity Intents yet, you can't reply properly &lt;img class="not-responsive emoji" src="<a href="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f923.png?v=a8002752e25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f923.png?v=a8002752e25</a>" title="<img src="https://citiverse.it/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f923.png?v=4307f250d0d" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--rolling_on_the_floor_laughing" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:" alt="🤣" />" /&gt;</p>
