nsmsn GWG, Are you still considering making Post Kinds compatible with blocks?
#
GWG Sort of
#
nsmsn I'm an Indieblocks user, and I'd be interested in seeing how Post Kinds could be compatible with that. The dev behind Indieblocks doesn't seem personally interested in supporting more "kinds": https://indieweb.social/@janboddez/112101549869449187
#
GWG I'd like to find a compromise
#
nsmsn Are your ideas something that could be written into a GitHub issue? Or are they looser than even that right now?
#
nsmsn I was just catching up on the IndieWeb WordPress chat today and your note on this piqued my interest.
#
nsmsn I have an idea of how Post Kinds could/should work, as a Gutenberg user...not sure if this has been discussed extensively here or anywhere already.
#
GWG Most of my ideas are on the backend of how it could work.
#
GWG But yes, I could write it up
#
GWG Essentially, there are two parts to Post Kinds
#
GWG 1. Parse This, which could be used by Indieblocks or anything. I use it in other projects
#
GWG 2. The Kind taxonomy and how it maps mf2 properties to the taxonomy and vice versa.
#
GWG You could add a third...the templating, but blocks would replace that
#
GWG Parse This has a rest API endpoint
#
GWG Kind only has some limited taxonomy endpoint stuff, it needs more improvements to work neatly with that system
#
GWG So, if I make the Kind functionality in the rest api fully consistent with how it works under the hood, then the front end part with blocks should be easier.

nsmsn OK, I follow…thanks for sharing your thought process.
#
GWG I may not be the best at JS coding, but I can set up to make the frontend stuff easier if someone partnered with me
#
nsmsn I can’t volunteer myself for that role, but if I can help with testing or anything, let me know!
#
GWG I would probably start smaller
#
GWG Maybe Simple Location for Gutenberg
#
GWG And a few other things

GWG [snarfed]: If it was server side and not client side scripting I might be there already
