    Aaron, you should check out @colloq_io if you haven't done so already. Aspiring service by some awesome guys with a great mindset (you could've met them already). Forget @Meetup ...
    Aaron Parecki
    @colloq_io looks great, but unfortunately it's a matter of convincing local meetups to switch off Meetup.com. Meetup.com has all the users, so it's a hard sell.

    CSS has gotten pretty great lately, it's nice to not feel like I'm fighting it all the time now!

    Allow the user to set a default category for posts created by the application

    A common feature request I hear from people using Wordpress with Micropub apps all the time is they want certain apps posts to appear in certain wordpress categories by default. For example, all posts from OwnYourGram should be added to the "Photos" category, all posts from OwnYourSwarm should be added to the "Checkins" category, but posts from Quill or Micro.blog should be "Uncategorized" or set to "Microblog". With the built-in authorization server, there is a great opportunity to have the wordpress plugin handle this now. It will take coordination with the Micropub plugin as well.

    #104 Invalid Post Status

    Aaron Parecki

    return get_option( 'micropub_default_post_status', MICROPUB_DRAFT_MODE ? 'draft' : 'publish' );

    This doesn't work because the problem is not that micropub_default_post_status doesn't exist, it's that it does exist in the database and the value is blank.

    #112 Micropub Errors

    Aaron Parecki

    Was able to reproduce this after carefully reading the other thread. The key is this: https://github.com/snarfed/wordpress-micropub/issues/104#issuecomment-359267767

    If you save the writing settings page, it writes a blank value for micropub_default_post_status to the database, so then the get_option call later will return the blank value instead of the default.

    #112 Micropub Errors

    Aaron Parecki
    Can confirm that this problem does not exist on a clean wordpress install with the current 1.3 release. I'm trying to track down what causes the error to surface.

    I have no strong opinion here, 501 arose from discussion on the IWC Slack.

    My API experience falls into REST and deep-stack buckets. Micropub is lighter weight than any non-REST protocol I've used or implemented over HTTP, so it "feels" right for it to act RESTy.

    To defend my recommendation, if it's not appropriate to use HTTP codes, why does the spec call for the use of 4xx codes, rather than replying with a 2xx that includes error details?

    Aaron Parecki
    The 4xx codes were inherited from OAuth 2.0, which defines a few 4xx codes when using access tokens, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#section-3.1 and using 400 as a catch-all for any client errors.

    Add option to deduplicate entries within a channel across sources

    Currently each source is treated independently, and if two sources end up having the same entry, the entry will appear twice in the channel. This is only a problem when for example I add a Twitter search from granary.io as a source, as well as have my streaming search script running, and a tweet matches both.

    That’s funny, I have that tag query support on my list both for my site and for Indigenous as well!

    Aaron Parecki
    Out of curiosity, how long has it been on your list? Cause it's been on mine for a long time but I guess I haven't quite felt annoyed enough by having to type out the full tag to go implement this.

    This is great, thanks for creating such a useful tool! Do you also host your own git repo, and if so, how do you integrate that into your website?

    I use gitlist (https://github.com/klaussilveira/gitlist) but it’s not integrated into my site at all.

    Aaron Parecki
    Thanks! My code snippets aren’t backed by a special git repo like gists are. They’re just stored with my regular posts. Those are part of the git repo storing my full site’s content, so I do have versioning if I try hard enough, but version control isn’t specifically a feature of this yet.

    create meta-channel with h-events for upcoming birthdays

    Given your (or a channel's) following list, find birthdays, then create h-events for upcoming birthdays. A microsub client that shows events will be able to show upcoming birthdays without understanding birthdays specifically. Could also index your website's nicknames cache to find birthdays there. or maybe provide a way to sync to Google Contacts even.

    Store feed metadata

    Feeds include additional data such as a name, image and description. In the case of podcast feeds, the podcast artwork is a critical component of the feed and should be presented when viewing entries from the feed.

    add IndieAuth login to channels

    Currently you can add an "API Key" in order to write content into channels. This is actually Aperture acting as a Micropub endpoint. It should be possible to log in to existing Micropub clients as one of these API keys, doing the IndieAuth flow and resulting in providing the client with the API key. This would provide a way to set up fancier integrations without copying and pasting tokens.

    create meta-channel for showing the last known location of friends

    Given an existing channel, create a meta-channel containing only h-cards with the last known location of everyone from the main channel. Useful as a "where are all my friends" channel if shown on a map.

    stronger visual indicator of which account context a channel is in

    I've already had a few occasions where I "liked" a post from the wrong account because I didn't notice the default account context which is currently only the profile icon in the lower right corner. Need some sort of bigger visual indicator, such as changing the background color of the window, or adding a colored border.
