In order to migrate Soapbox to Pleroma I need to reimplement recurring donations. I decided to build it as a microservice that can run alongside any Fediverse server and expose new endpoints that a frontend may take advantage of: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox-patron
It's still a work in progress, but the idea is for it to be self-contained and interoperable. soapbox-fe will be fully intergrated with it (it has already been updated to pull down funding info).
One thing interesting about this design is that it accepts your Bearer token and then passes it straight through to the backend to figure out who you are.
