[scojjac] @GWG: (moving from #indieweb) Jetpack is nice for enabling comments view in the mobile app, also had their free CDN enabled. Not the end of the world, though—I frequently end up using the web dashboard because it’s more functional, so the app does me little good
#
GWG [scojjac]: I only turn on Jetpack to troubleshoot filed issues where it conflicts with my plugins
#
GWG For me, it's like getting an entire mall when I just want a single shop
#
[scojjac] Yeah, I think that’s the realization I’m having as well
#
petermolnar there used to be projects which forked jetpack by functionality into multiple plugins
#
petermolnar are those completely dead?
#
[scojjac] I want you to know I really appreciate your plugins @gwg, good stuff
#
GWG petermolnar: Not really. I think Jetpack Slim pivoted to disabling parts of Jetpack not replacing it
#
GWG [scojjac]: If there are any ideas for improvements, I love those

[scojjac] @gwg I've toyed with the idea of replacing the icons of Post Kinds with emoji, because why not be a little ridiculous. But my site design is still a bit nascent
#
[scojjac] [jeremycherfas] You were asking in #indieweb-chat about IndieWeb friendly themes - I believe Velox is a new one with good mf2 support. I'm currently using @GWG's IndieWeb Publisher with a child theme, though.
#
GWG [scojjac]: I believe I have a filter for that
#
[scojjac] Yeah it looks like set_post_kind() would be the key. I just haven't toyed with it yet

#
[chrisaldrich] [jeremycherfas] there was also another new theme from cdevroe, which he's using on his site now) that I just put into the see also section of the themes page. (n.b. it's a licensed theme, but it's always nice to support creators).
#
[chrisaldrich] What are WordPress themes?
#
Loqi WordPress Themes are a simple way to quickly change the look and feel of a WordPress website primarily by use of CSS https://indieweb.org/WordPress/Themes

#
[jeremycherfas] Thanks [scojjac] I will look for that
#
[jeremycherfas] I think Colin’s theme is image portfolio oriented, which wouldn’t really suit me.

[chrisaldrich] There is a bit of portfolio forwardness to it (and that's how it's marketed), but in looking at it I'd say it's more optimized for use with micro.blog with respect to being good for status-updates/notes and photo posting. Though this may not change the fact that you're looking for something else.
