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