Quill's event creation UI now has venue autocomplete and a map preview, and sends the full venue information to your Micropub endpoint as an h-card! Selecting a location also sets the timezone offset of the event start/end date properly too!

This just made it so much easier to post events to my site, so I expect to be posting a lot more now!

Query the micropub endpoint for tags as the user is typing

If the Micropub endpoint supports tag queries, then Quill should ping it as the user is typing to help autocomplete tags.

Quill now shows little icons in the reply context when it finds syndication URLs of the post you're replying to! This is the first part of my plan to enable tweetstorms from my site, as well as link up replies when syndicating.

Day 70: Editing Reposts in Quill

Now that I have a basic pattern for supporting edits in Quill, I was able to quickly add support for editing reposts today. It works the same as yesterday's project of supporting edits of "likes", where the main "edit" page detects the "repost-of" property in the post and redirects to the repost interface. Not much else to say about today's project other than that!

Day 69: Initial Editing Support for Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb

Today in Things I Should Have Done Ages Ago... I finally started adding support to Quill for editing posts. I'm going to have to build this out one by one for each post interface Quill supports, so I started with the easiest one, favorites.

Day 67: Adding Image Alt Text in Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb

With Quill's new image uploading UI, I was able to easily add a form field for specifying image alt text. This is a relatively new feature of Micropub, added thanks to a review by the W3C accessibility group.

Day 66: Nicer UI for Uploading Photos in Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb

Today I cleaned up the interface for uploading photos in Quill. It was getting messy, since I had been slowly adding stuff to it, like support for multiple photos, supporting a Media Endpoint, etc. So here's how it works now!

Day 56: Added a Reset Login Button to Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb

This morning, Marty mentioned that he was having trouble with Quill because of my previous change where I updated the default scope to "create" instead of "post". (I documented this change as part of Day 51, but I suppose it could have been its own 100days project itself!)

Day 53: Cleaning up Quill UI #100DaysOfIndieWeb

I realized that most of the time I'm not posting photos in Quill, so having the photo fields in the note interface so prominent isn't necessary, and adds clutter. So now, a camera icon takes the place of the form fields, and when you click it, it expands to the fields that were there before. This makes the note interface slightly cleaner.

Day 44: Cleaner HTML from Quill's HTML Editor #100DaysOfIndieWeb

After posting this many blog posts with Quill's HTML editor, I've been somewhat annoyed at some of the strange HTML artifacts it creates. Specifically it adds a few helper classes to the HTML for some of the visual editor parts, and some unnecessary classes are added to some of the images. Today I cleaned up the HTML that Quill sends so that it now only sends very plain and simple HTML. To do this, I send the output from the Javascript editor through the HTMLPurifier library, removing all class attributes and allowing only a specific subset of HTML tags.This ends up being only barely visible, but is a good change under the hood. The one visible change this will have for my blog posts is that now they won't sometimes have an extra empty line at the bottom. This was caused by me pressing "enter" after writing the last paragraph, creating an empty placeholder paragraph in the visual editor.

Day 26: Tag tokens and publish date for Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb

Last week, Barry Frost released Micropublish, a Micropub client written in Ruby. It's a very slick interface for posting a few kinds of posts. I noticed that his "category" field looked really nice, and discovered that he was using a Bootstrap plugin called "Token Field". Today I added this plugin to Quill, so now everywhere that you previously had to enter tags as comma-separated values, it's now using this "token field" UI.

Day 17: Documentation for Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb

Quill started out as a sample Micropub client with a lot of useful debugging information. As it's grown, I've been slowly adding more posting interfaces to Quill, and tweaking them to look less like a debugging tool and more like a real app. Instead, micropub.rocks has taken over as a more detailed debugging utility for building a Micropub endpoint, so I can now optimize Quill for being more user-friendly and less developer-focused. At IndieWebCamp Germany in 2015, I added a rich editor to Quill, inspired by the clean Medium interface. You can even use the Quill rich editor without being logged in! It will save the post to your browser's localstorage as a draft, and let you post it after you log in. I wanted to make an interface that anybody would feel comfortable writing in, and be able to show it to people without them first logging in, as an introduction to what it might look like to have nice writing applications that aren't tied to a specific backend like Medium.In order to help people get started with Quill, today I wrote some more documentation for it!When you're logged out and click the "publish" button, it prompts you to log in and links out to the documentation home page.
