Maybe the #ivory folk should do a #microsub / #micropub app.

That was the reason for the awkward protocol (where everything's a query string, and "form-urlencoded" **or** JSON, and everything's also an array, except when it isn't), that talented designers would develop great apps (except nobody **really** cared, unfortunately).

#Micropub and #Microsub?

@benbrown @anildash #Microsub goes further by providing a server that maintains your subscription list, collects and parses posts (possibly triggered by #WebSub) and then providing an API for reader clients

The rabbit hole goes deep. I started looking into #ActivityPub which branches out into many different standards itself (#Activities, #Actors, #webfinger and #jsonld, oh my!) and now I find myself exploring #webmentions and the #indieweb and #micropub and #microsub...
And I started out just wanting to build my own website that hosted my online ID...

I’ve been using a self-hosted feed aggregator and Reeder, switching away from #microsub alternatives. As much as I love microsub, I think it is fighting a losing battle and is unlikely to gain traction for lack of support.

Here’s the code to my long abandoned “Monocle clone.” https://github.com/janboddez/reader

#Microsub

Agree we need this "Social Reader" concept based on #Microsub - badly. I know of a few early attempts but need a robust version. #Netnewswire could evolve to be this. So could #Thunderbird.
Or as this author suggests, #Mozilla's #Firefox could.

@thunderbird @killyourfm hej Jason,
that is really neat. Even with ad blocker!

I wonder about other feeds tho. What about JSON (haha - Jason.. sorry.. getting it together again) feeds? Or hell - let's even say #MicroSub?

#RSS itself is rad but… sync between different devices is kinda a thing in 2022 and MicroSub offers all this and is basically not limited to a specific feed format. And this is why plain RSS feels… limited?

#markdown #microsub #obsidian #webarchive

I extended the capabilities of my microsub feed reader with the option to save web articles directly from the reader to my Obsidian notes in markdown format.
Until now if I wanted to save an entire article I found in my feed reader, I would open it in the browser and then use the markdownclipper browser add-on to add some context and then

@chartier @conigs say Hi to #MicroSub, Granary.IO and rss-bridge :>

Somewhat to my own surprise I now have a self-built basic feed reader, from which I can post any responses directly to my site without leaving the feed reader.

#IndieWeb #microsub

Added a job to my feed aggregator/Microsub server that quickly validates mf2 media, i.e., the URLs that end up in entries’ `photo` and `video` arrays, by means of a HEAD request. If the server returns a 404 (or similar), the URL is probably faulty (e.g., the result of a misplaced `u-photo` tag), and the item removed from the list. No more (well, definitely less) “broken images” below posts!

My feed reader, current status. Just because. Still runs on just about any hosting environment, still supports h-feeds. No Micropub, yet. (Well, Micropub works. Interface still missing.)

Learned about HTML Purifier’s “Allowed” (rather than “AllowedElements”) setting, and that PicoFeed strips empty HTML tags by default. Anyway, entries that contain tables now look good!
