"As adults, we make hundreds of carob-like dietary substitutions in the name of good health. We shave summer squash into long spirals and deceive ourselves that itβs anything like pasta. We tip coconut creamer into our coffee, ignoring the way it threatens to curdle"
My first thought is concerning potentially writing posts offline. I think I would like to be able to query my micropub endpoint and get an array of contacts, in the same way I can get an array of syndication targets. This allows the ability to be writing a post offline and to power either person tagging or @-mentioning.
Right now you can only have one draft post at a time (if you click cancel while writing a post, it will ask if you want to save you post as a draft, if so it will auto-fill the form when you open it back up again).
Eventually I would like if you are offline to click "Post" and to have it auto-post when it gets internet again. So in those cases I would want to be able to handle all nickname cache stuff on device after the initial login (and maybe periodically refetching the cache every couple of days or something).
I can see how it could be useful to query the server with the string so far in a situation where you know you have internet.
