Updating FEP-0837 (Federated marketplace): https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/693
This PR adds a new recommended property to Proposal object:
fep_0837
flohmarkt now implements FEP-0837: Federated Marketplace!
They add Proposal as an attachment to Note. Here's an example:

I think Proposal properties could be added directly to Note to make the structure simpler. But an attachment is fine too.

I'm thrilled to have contributed my second PR to @fedify, which is now part of Version 2.3.0!
#FEP_0837 is now fully implemented in the current version: https://w3id.org/fep/0837.
But why is this interesting if you're a regular person who isn't interested in ontology and JSON-LD structure?
With the basic concept of a Federated Marketplace, we could build a decentralised Amazon, Airbnb, BlaBlaCar, etc.
Of course, it is already possible to use a different online shop for each of your needs. I do this personally, as well as for multiple organisations. It's always a lot more work than just buying stuff on Amazon, for example. For me, it's because Amazon has one basic workflow. Most sales are similar. I have a single history of orders, invoices, etc.
I also ran an online shop and always sold more on other marketplaces than on my own shop.
Good platforms are missing for other use cases. It would be great if every local tourist organisation could have its own domain and marketplace, and if I could also book in my preferred way (on another marketplace).
It would of course take a long time to develop the software and then build up the communities, but I think it's possible!
