Evening
#
GWG
miklb, I may be messing up your code again
#
[miklb]
my code?
#
GWG
In the latest version of Post Kinds I made some tweaks
#
GWG
Completely redesigned the Post Properties metabox
#
[miklb]
what changes? I haven’t looked at any WP code to speak of in almost 2 weeks
#
[miklb]
what did I contribute to the metabox?
#
GWG
I am concerned about your kind views.
#
GWG
I didn't do much in that area, so I hope that the changes didn't mess anything up.
#
GWG
But either way, hopefully no one is too upset about the metabox changes.
#
GWG
If they are, Gutenberg will mess everything up soon enough till I figure out how to cope

miklb, have you ever used start/end date?
#
[miklb]
I have not.
#
GWG
I am trying to remove or hide fields based on kind selected.
#
[miklb]
I read your description of showing by context of the kind selected.
#
[miklb]
I’ll try and get caught up on the WP IW stuff this week.
#
GWG
I am in need of a lot of input on this due the scope of the change
#
GWG
I also want to start using featured images in the kind templates
#
[miklb]
I’ll test if you remove the title of the retrieved data doesn’t populate the note title 😉
#
GWG
It still does. But I will likely remove the code for that and/or make a setting
#
[miklb]
I hope that will be optional, the featured image in kinds I mean
#
GWG
Also will make one for hiding the title. People will likely object
#
GWG
Of course
#
GWG
You would never want a featured image showing from a liked URL?
#
[miklb]
Oh, I thought you meant the featured image “feature” in WP. No, if I like an image post, I’d love to display that image as part of the like
#
GWG
That is the featured image I am referring to
#
GWG
If you look, there is a URL saved for it, but nothing done with it yet. Same with tags/categories
#
GWG
Not sure what to do with them.
#
GWG
And published date.
#
GWG
In the presentation specifically
#
GWG
This is likely to be the last major design change before Gutenberg
#
GWG
So it has to last
#
GWG
Any pet peeves you want to share
#
GWG
The metabox is now over the Content box.
#
GWG
It only shows name and URL by default, rest is hidden under More, but I am going to try to be even more granular.
#
[miklb]
I’ve already mentioned the one I have. Otherwise, I’ve been comfortable with the functionality.
#
GWG
I just hate the idea of messing up people's workflow
#
[miklb]
I see myself moving more to micropub as it is.
#
GWG
Me too.
#
GWG
It is getting there
#
[miklb]
with the stuff [eddie] is building and the microsub work going on definitely the trend. I just need to build this darn framework so I can finish my WP sites and get to the micropub issues I want to solve.
#
GWG
miklb, I considered splitting the UI and the backend code in a future version
#
GWG
Also, no Android client still, but hoping
#
GWG
Omnibear, maybe
#
GWG
Notice that I spent time working on Indieauth for that reason
#
GWG
I still have to go back for the authorization side.
#
GWG
miklb, the syndication stuff?
#
[miklb]
which syndication stuff?
#
[miklb]
stuff eddie is building meaning Indigenious for iOS
#
GWG
I thought that was what you wanted to work on in the Micropub plugin
#
[miklb]
ah, yes. syndication in micropub. As I said in dev, it’s starting to feel more like a blocker than an itch. I’m excited to tackle it.
#
GWG
I am interested in helping
#
GWG
snarfed doesn't use the plugin, so he isn't always aware of the pain points
#
[miklb]
I don’t even know if it’s a pain point. I *think* there is a hook, but I just need to set up local micropub testing and starting hammering away.
#
[miklb]
I think I’m ready to take my grasp of micropub in general beyond the basics.
#
GWG
I would be tempted to set up a test syndication target

#
[miklb]
for sure. That’s a great idea
#
GWG
What I originally did, I have rethought
