# cambridgeport90 I haven't been up here in a bit... sorry about that. Other projects and burnout at work has been taking up all my time and energy these past few months.

# cambridgeport90 But while I've been gone, I have bene thinkingg about ways we could improve some of our paticulars... for instance, whether this would be micropub or WP itself, but how to convert, say, RSS feeds from Trakt.tv into watched posts automatically... and the same with books... using the read post kind to track statuses and what not. Haven't figured out how to do or implement these yet. Wasnt sure if anyone is working on it or
# cambridgeport90 not.

[tonz] I started writing a personal micropub client and ran into an oddity where <svg> would not be accepted by the endpoint. I rewrote the request to JSON and then it does work. Doesn’t explain the oddity, but does solve my issue. Now with the basics in place, I can start on turning it into a personal tool. https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2022/01/personal-micropub-client-now-works-with-json/

# [chrisaldrich]1 cambridgeport90 I'd like to see this happen and it would be nice to have a service that could bridge RSS, Atom, etc. as a Micropub client. I've outlined it here: https://boffosocko.com/2021/12/15/indieweb-as-a-service-iaas-idea-pesos-from-all-the-silos-with-feeds-using-micropub/
# [chrisaldrich]1 Until then, this is the closest I've come to catching that idea: https://boffosocko.com/2020/01/21/using-ifttt-to-syndicate-pesos-content-from-social-services-to-wordpress-using-micropub/
# [chrisaldrich]1 Sadly, RSS doesn't include tags/categories and some of the other useful meta data to make posts even richer (depending on the data available from the silo)., so RSS to Micropub isn't the nirvana one might hope it to be from the perspective of data fidelity. (And this is why it would be more valuable for silo services to support micropub directly.)
# [tw2113_Slack_] i do wonder if that’s filterable
