[chrisaldrich] colinwalker RE: your reader itch, PressForward is a pretty solid built in WP reader that would likely accept a PR with indieweb action functionality.
#
[chrisaldrich] I also noticed the other day that edublogs.org, a customized hosted version of WP for the education sector has a built-in reader that's relatively solid, but I'm not sure what's powering it.

#
[colinwalker] !tell chrisaldrich Thanks. I'd prefer to build it all myself as it's as much about learning how to do it but maybe they could give me some pointers ?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[chrisaldrich] What is Whisperfollow?
#
[chrisaldrich] colinwalker It's an interesting exercise, but I think there's a reason everyone in IndieWeb hasn't built their own readers yet. Ashton has built one called WhisperFollow which might be a good model too.

[colinwalker] chrisaldrich That's exactly the kind of thing I'm after. Will check it out. Thanks.
#
[colinwalker] Shame, it doesn't work any more - or been updated in over 2 years but could be a good starting point.

[miklb] anyone recommend a related posts plugin?
#
GWG How would you relate posts?
#
[miklb] most use taxonomy in some way
#
[miklb] I suppose I could write a WP_Query to get a few random post titles of a matching tag, but figured if anyone recommended a good drop in solution, would go that route.
#
GWG Any opportunity for a Post Kinds feature?
#
[miklb] hmm. Possibly, it is just another taxonomy.
#
[miklb] but not something I’d suggest adding to Post Kinds.
#
[miklb] but a plugin that does related posts could look at the kind tax for a possibly related. Especially for certain types of related posts. I could see checkins, listening/watching types. I’m sure others.
#
aaronpk what is related reading?
#
Loqi Related Reading is a feature of some blogging silos (like Medium, Wordpress.com) where at the end of a blog post, the system suggests another deemed-likely-interesting-to-you given your assumed interest in the topic that you just read about https://indieweb.org/related_reading
#
[miklb] that’s a mouthful
#
GWG I am working on closing some Syndication Links issues before releasing a new version due Ruxton's PR
#
[miklb] GWG I hope to get some free time soon to update my PR with some documentation, also think I need to set a default style.
#
GWG miklb, I need to do a few tweaks on it as well.
#
GWG But you can go first
#
[miklb] I’m excited to see how you abstract it out.
