If you see any (extra) weird pages appearing on my website in the coming weeks, I'm going to pre-emptively blame it on a malfunction of my new micropub endpoint! The (very rough) first version seems to be working now. The non-technical summary is that I can now post to my website as easily as using Mastodon, for better or worse.
I'm making some progress on my micropub endpoint based on the https://go.hacdias.com/indielib library.
I can now use my endpoint for IndieAuth, and store posts on the filesystem, in the custom TOML page format I use. I'm having some trouble with the `micropub?q=config` route, and haven't started working on git sync or the media endpoint yet. One step at a time.
The main issue that's holding me back now, is that it's really hard to test if everything works as intended. I've been testing using Quill and Sparkles via my server now, but it's less than ideal to not be able to test it locally. Any advice would be appreciated 😅
Also, https://micropub.rocks doesn't work for me at all, because it doesn't use PCKE apparently.
But the clients are way easier than how I was updating my site until now, so I have enough motivation to keep at it!
Ever since setting up #Indiekit for adding #Micropub capabilities to my #Hugo blog, I have only used its web UI to post notes, photos, and likes (haven’t tried other clients yet).
The interface is not bad, but one thing that that bugs me is how links are handled. I am so used to directly pasting in URLs into selected text...

So today I have learned that I should probably have a test pipeline for my site. It would have saved a lot of noise on Mastodon and RSS. However, #Micropub is cool and now I can justify the 20 quid I spent on iA Writer a few months back
This is the first time using my new Pi Docker version of the #Indiekit #Micropub server while I’m out! Wrote about my journey in the latest weeknote if you’re interested.
And tomorrow is another #IndieWeb #HomebrewWebsiteClub where I’ll be a stand-in moderator for the first time. The more, the merrier! I’d love to see new faces. 😊

Plan to convert restaurant into community micropub drawn up

I got my micropub endpoint all implemented! I can post to my statuslog/microblog without having to manually edit html if I don't want to.
I was inspired by @arimamary who managed to get it working on their site and mentioned using Quill!
This is much easier than typing raw html in github lol.
