Basically, the idea is to provide an interface for blogging similar to Medium or Ghost, with the added benefit that all articles are federated.
Rather than have the entire contents of an article federated, a truncated version is federated out as a basic post, with links to the full article embedded. OpenGraph previews provide thumbnails.
Comments, likes, and reshares are reflected in the full article view, allowing for a federated comment system.
@hugoestr Thanks! :D
At the moment, I'm actually trying to use Eugen's OStatus2 gem. I'm still trying to figure out how to hook it up to my own system. :P
