"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."

"The bttn HTTP action lets you configure a webhook URL that the bt.tn server will call whenever the bttn is pressed."

"Webmention works much like @mention on Twitter, Medium, Facebook, and others, but is platform independent, which means you can use it to ping any website on the internet that supports it. Imagine if you could reply to someone on Twitter from your WordPress site? Or if you could use Facebook to reply to a post on Medium?"

"Some of the things I like about Micropub media endpoints include:

• The spec allows the media endpoint to be on a completely separate domain from the "full" micropub endpoint.
• The spec doesn't specify anything about how the files are stored or their final URLs or filenames.
• They make it easy to separate the handling of (large) media files from the (presumably much smaller) content and metadata of a post.
• They enable Micropub clients to upload multiple files without creating multiple posts. This makes it simpler to create posts that contain multiple images, like a gallery."

"when it comes to storing and organizing those concepts, the web has effectively changed nothing from the days of the printed cookbook. My recipes are still bound in tomes. Some of those tomes are now digital, but they’re just as isolated from one another as the cookbooks on my shelves."
