  That's not a terrible idea! If I didn't already have a good setup with Weechat and Glowing-Bear I might do the same! Tho I could benefit from a slightly better client on mobile. Glowing-Bear doesn't stay connected because it's a web interface, and it would be nice to be able to switch iOS app focus and not have to reload the interface.

• Day 17: Documentation for Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb

  Quill started out as a sample Micropub client with a lot of useful debugging information. As it's grown, I've been slowly adding more posting interfaces to Quill, and tweaking them to look less like a debugging tool and more like a real app. Instead, micropub.rocks has taken over as a more detailed debugging utility for building a Micropub endpoint, so I can now optimize Quill for being more user-friendly and less developer-focused. At IndieWebCamp Germany in 2015, I added a rich editor to Quill, inspired by the clean Medium interface. You can even use the Quill rich editor without being logged in! It will save the post to your browser's localstorage as a draft, and let you post it after you log in. I wanted to make an interface that anybody would feel comfortable writing in, and be able to show it to people without them first logging in, as an introduction to what it might look like to have nice writing applications that aren't tied to a specific backend like Medium.In order to help people get started with Quill, today I wrote some more documentation for it!When you're logged out and click the "publish" button, it prompts you to log in and links out to the documentation home page.

  @aaronpk https://aaronparecki.com/articles doesn't seem to have an XML feed, am I correct? I'd love to subscribe to one.
  

  @ttepasse I don't generate an XML feed (too much extra code) but you can paste any of my feeds into https://granary-demo.appspot.com/?x=94&y=43&input=html to convert them!

  Day 17. This is a piano solo I recorded in only a couple takes. After recording, I added some chorus, delay, EQ filters, and a phaser effect to make it sound like it was sort of out of tune and far away. I guess I was going for the "something is slightly off" vibe. I considered adding some other instruments but ended up sticking with a piano solo for this one.
