@100daysindieweb Hooray for helping out the less Indie-capable! From a UI perspective, some might not quite know what you mean by IndieNews URL, to put in the proper one. I suspect it's there to differentiate between the various languages, in which case perhaps a dropdown with the different language versions instead of a more ominous empty box might be better? Gen2+ are more likely to be confused. Additionally, how many do you suppose will find/hit the endpoint this way? Perhaps updating news.Indieweb.org to have the submission box on the submissions page like the one you added on day 9 (https://aaronparecki.com/2016/12/29/9/day-9) to your own site would be even more helpful? Or perhaps even easier, adding the URL for the endpoint to https://news.indieweb.org/how-to-submit-a-post in the documentation and listing it as alternative option. (Or were you keeping this for a lighter Day 41 on a busy Monday?) I can't believe it's been 40 days already!!! Kudos again.
"With all these negative reviews, I thought it would be hard to get going, but I'm no slouch when it comes to technical stuff so I gave it a try. It was really pretty easy. I got it to work with two different raspian images (hypriot and the standard Jessie) by just adding a few lines to the config.txt:
max_usb_current=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
The first line let's the pi send it more current over the USB ports, the other three set a manual resolution for the HDMI. These are standard pi configuration variables, and needed for most bare monitors."
