busybee fluffy rambles Notes

One thing I’d point out is that IndieAuth does a lot more than just enabling Micropub and its ilk; for example, some folks support IndieAuth as a simple identity provider, which then provides things like access to private or protected entries (for example this one).

Technically your post should have been posted as a u-repost-of of the original post. Also it doesn’t appear that you have the requisite mf2 data on your page for all that stuff to work. I’d recommend taking a look at my introduction to the IndieWeb since there’s a lot of ways where this could be a lot better!

In particular I’d recommend looking at the full IndieWeb Wordpress plugin which handles the mf2 markup as well as doing all the webmention stuff for you.

Nice, I’m really happy to see someone else using Publ! There’s a lot of stuff that I really should do to modernize it, since you may have noticed that it’s stuck on an older version of Python and also that its Markdown engine is kinda… troublesome at this point. I’d also really like to improve the way that footnotes work so that it also supports things like sidebar or inline asides.

Having built-in support for webmention and such would also be nice; I always run into the limitations of what I can do with webmention.io/webmention.js and I have some big ideas about how to make a better comment system.

Anyway hopefully I can get back to working on this stuff. My priorities have been elsewhere but I do want to improve things for everyone.

Yeah I was trying to do something somewhat like Salmention since the context was specifically replying to two posts. I wouldn’t normally have done that, as you can probably tell by the weird UX on my site that resulted.
