I've got a pretty interesting micro-app based on juneau and streams coming together.
Its an html-enabled proxy for accessing profiles, posts, and connections across multiple social networks, using a common API and data format based on the W3C SWG ActivityPub and ActivityStreams specs. The consolidation we’ve started around Juneau as the principle library for interacting with data providers made this module (and its dependency tree) much more straight-forward and simple than it would have been prior. I think some version of this could ready to release / demo / blog by ApacheCon. If anyone wants to test it out and contribute feedback or features, that would be excellent. You’ll need to checkout and build the steveblackmon/STREAMS-504 branches of incubator-streams and incubator-streams-examples, then read incubator-streams-examples/servers/streams-server-juneau/README.md which will explain what to do next.

I can work on wrapping several streams data collection, conversion, and storage modules with Juneau microservice. We were planning to publish a dropwizard example with our next release anyway, let's use Juneau instead. Should make for a good ready to run demo and blog post for sure.

Thanks for picking this up Steve!
