Microblog

Finally cleaned this up enough to push it to GitHub. Microstat - A self-hosted Micropub endpoint for statically-generated microblogs. 📝⚡️Post to your static microblog with Quill! https://github.com/joshdick/microstat

@rosemaryorchard Thanks for the reminder that micro.blog supports crossposting! I somehow never got around to enabling it before now, but now posts to my self-hosted microblog will also show up on micro.blog, Twitter, and Mastodon. Awesome!

Because I apparently can't listen to enough actual-play RPG podcasts, just started listening to Not Another D&D Podcast. Has an "early Adventure Zone"-type goofy vibe so far.

Testing some Micropub-based automation. Nothing to see here. 🚧

I love Bill Wurtz's music so much. It puts me in a good mood every time I listen, even if many of his lyrics aren't quite meant to do that.

There need to be MORE YouTube competitors, not less.

This is Windows 95, running in an Electron app. Yes, it's the full thing. I'm sorry.

Gary Bernhardt predicted this would happen in 2014, in his excellent talk The Birth And Death Of JavaScript.

Thought experiment: A social network that segregates users by moving weighted average of the sentiment of what they say (automated or user-voted.) Repeat trolls are stuck only being able to lash out at each other and can't contact or appear in timelines of higher-sentiment users.

Gladys across iPad/iPhone/Mac is awesome. It's amazing to have a cross-device, iCloud-synced temporary dumping ground for all kinds of data, and that's probably the most basic way it could be used.

@aaronpk Nice to meet you at #devconf! I already understand micro.blog’s Webmention model better than I did when I first wrote this, but if you’re curious where I started: http://micro.blog/jd/803408 and my current question about “re-mentions” that we discussed in person: https://micro.blog/jd/806147 I know these are both specific to micro.blog but I’m very interested in how Webmentions can gel well wtih centralized services like micro.blog in general.
