    Remember when Palm Pilots had an IR transmitter and you could download a "universal remote" app and turn off any TV?

    I need that right now to turn off this annoying TV in the hotel bar.

      @aaronpk Hey, sorry, me again. I just can't figure this out and hope you can help. I'm trying to use OwnYourGram with my site (Jekyll + Github pages + Micropub endpoint). But the post gets pulled in like this, so it doesn't show the photo. Are you aware of anyone who got this to work? It needs to add a reference to the photo in the post itself.

      Samsung Note4 had that as a built-in feature. I used it several times for situations like the one you're currently experiencing.

      @aaronpk No, unfortunately not. I can post text-only without issues, but when I try to add a photo, this error happens.

      @aaronpk Hey Aaron, random question about Quill (hope that's ok). I use Jekyll + Github Pages + webpage-micropub-to-github to add a micropub endpoint to that. But that micropub endpoint doesn't have support for a media endpoint yet, so I can't use native photo publishing from Quill. I'm wondering if you're aware of anyone who has found a workaround for that issue? Thanks!

      There are apps like that for phones, though you'd need a phone with a transmitter or a transmitter module.
