[davidmead] ran the `rel=me` validator on my site. Surprised that a) letterboxd worked perfectly 🙂, and b) I have so many to now remove 😞
#
gRegor oh nice that letterboxd supports that
#
gRegor what is letterboxd
#
Loqi Letterboxd is a silo for keeping track of films and reviews in what they call a "film diary" https://indieweb.org/Letterboxd

#
[tantek] Anyone know when they added support? Did they blog about it?
#
gRegor I did a brief search and glance through their blog, didn't see an announcement

gRegor But maybe there's a dev blog or issue tracker somewhere

btrem If I understand correctly, micropub is a protocol to turn an http request into an html web page. What if I want to convert an http post into a yaml file? Or markdown file with yaml frontmatter?
#
btrem ...ideally a file that's committed to a github repo.
#
aaronpk Micropub is a protocol for creating posts, using the microformats vocabulary. I store my posts as YAML frontmatter with markdown, so my micropub endpoint takes the content in the micropub request and stores it in my site's internal format

#
[snarfed] great point, micropub's transport format is (parsed) mf2, not any specific serialization
#
btrem So I would need to write a program of some sort to sit on my server as a micropub endpoint, and posting to that endpoint would invoke the program which would create and save the file. Is that right?
#
btrem The indieweb page on micropub/servers is mostly a list of whose sites use micropub, but not how they're doing it. There are a few software projects listed (Wordpress, Known, etc.) but not for my ssg, which is 11ty. But in any case, any file would have to be added to my GH repo.
#
[snarfed] yup that would be your micropub server. I think I remember existing micropub projects somewhere that store posts in git

#
[qubyte] That’s pretty much what mine does (adds a file by making GitHub add a commit through the content API, which then triggers a build). I’m guessing there are a fair few similar solutions in the wild like this.
#
gRegor I think IndieKit has micropub and publishes to 11ty? Or maybe indiekit is its own full server? Not sure
