marksuth[d] is working on what I think is a multi platform Micropub client: IndiePass.
#
capjamesg[d]
I am unsure what stage it is at right now.
#
cophee
Very excited for it!!
#
cophee
Would absolutely pay for it on iOS considering how annoying the App Store is with publishing apps

I was excited for IndiePass too, but he didn't end up sticking with it, no development there for years now. 🀷 https://github.com/IndiePass/indiepass

#
capjamesg[d]
wing_wingpang_com_[d] Wow! I _love_ it!
#
capjamesg[d]
This is incredible.
#
capjamesg[d]
Websites as home screens!

Ooh, what tool is that?
#
cophee
it's called plain text editor πŸ˜‚
#
cophee
Also this one
#
cophee
for finder
#
cophee
honestly the hero we need but don't deserve
#
capjamesg[d]
I like simple text editors.
#
capjamesg[d]
I use Typora right now.
#
cophee
it's lovely!
#
cophee
very minimalist
#
cophee
does anyone have any fun little apps on mac that they recommend? :))
#
capjamesg[d]
I'm working on a HTML page to publish my blog posts from.
#
cophee
capjamesg[d]: Awesome!!!!
#
capjamesg[d]
My current publishing flow is to use GitHub, but it's getting a bit tedious.
#
cophee
i love how you build out the features you need on your site!!
#
[Jo]
Cool!!
#
capjamesg[d]
I _really_ need this πŸ˜‚
#
capjamesg[d]
Because I often forget all the metadata I need.
#
cophee
i'd love to learn to program so that I can do cool stuff like this too =]
#
cophee
atm i only really do stylesheets :PP
#
capjamesg[d]
This page will be public!
#
cophee
capjamesg[d]: awesome!
#
capjamesg[d]
But you will not be able to create any content on my site, of course πŸ˜„
#
cophee
capjamesg[d]: πŸ˜‚
#
capjamesg[d]
Let me publish this now.
#
capjamesg[d]
I want to figure out how to add a spell checker to it.
#
cophee
capjamesg[d]: that would be really cool
#
cophee
i just have grammarly/use browser spell checkers
#
capjamesg[d]
My current editor has a spellcheck so bad I'm not sure if it has one.
#
capjamesg[d]
My commit message:
#
capjamesg[d]
Fun thing: my editor doesn't support typing `p` because it triggers the penguin on my page. I need to fix that.
#
capjamesg[d]
(the editor on my website, that is)

capjamesg[d]: fabulous!
#
capjamesg[d]
This saves me so much time.
#
capjamesg[d]
It feels like magic ✨
#
cophee
Yes!!! Exactly how I felt after I got [Paul_Robert_Ll]'s IndieKit working
#
cophee
I just installed Omnibear
#
cophee
It's so handy!!! (I just replied to your post using it hehe)
#
capjamesg[d]
I'm making some edits to my tool to do some magic things.
#
capjamesg[d]
Like check if I leave a placeholder `[add image]` in my text πŸ˜„
#
capjamesg[d]
I sometimes forget to actually add the image.

[tantek] This discussion may interest you re: posting interfaces.
#
[qubyte]
I need to do something like this. It’s the only way I’ll have a nice authoring/preview experience given my quirky dialect.
#
capjamesg[d]
Yeah. I'm able to encode all my quirks that help me stay focused while writing but that also don't translate well to my website.
#
capjamesg[d]
I love the writing tool I use, Typora. But my publishing process was really not good.
#
harbinger_of_decay
capjamesg[d]: What static site generator are using? If you don't mind me asking
#
capjamesg[d]
harbinger_of_decay[d] It is custom-built.
#
harbinger_of_decay
capjamesg[d]: Oooh that's really cool!
#
capjamesg[d]
Yeah! The code isn't elegant, but it works well for my uses!
#
harbinger_of_decay
That's what matters though! How did you build it? How do you even begin to build something like that haha
