This is a little awkward

1 min read

I've been moaning to anyone who'll listen that there seems to be something wrong with Known; Micropubs could not seem to find the syndication targets. And other people had the same problem, I believe. But after a really enjoyable virtual Homebrew Web Club meeting, the problem might after all be at my end.

@zegnat created a fresh install of Known as we watched, hooked it up to Twitter, and was instantly rewarded with Quill seeing his syndication target, which it resolutely refused to do on my instance of Known. (It failed actually to syndicate, but that's a separate issue.)

So, now I need to try a fresh install myself. And as @Jeena suggested, better to do that on a new and different subdomain than risk messing everything up.

Alas, there is no way on Earth I can do this until near the end of the month.

I can wait.

Attempted to post to Known from the latest micro.blog app. No error! But no post either. @manton

@danielstucke The camera issue has been written about, and a fix demonstrated, but not yet accepted into the Known master. https://github.com/idno/Known/issues/1725

I think I'll wait until @cleverdevil's memory thing tweaks are in the Known core before adopting -- but I like the idea.

Really interested in being able to use Foursquare to log where I am and have the additional detail show up on my Known site.

The future of WithKnown

1 min read

The question "does @WithKnown have a future?" is cropping up increasingly frequently of late. And the "official" answer is that it most definitely does, look at all the activity on github, nothing has changed. And it's true, there has been a lot of activity and things are moving, if you go and look. But for someone just looking in and trying to decide whether to use the software, the lack of outward facing activity must be a bit off-putting.

Or maybe it isn't.

I have no idea.

All this was [kicked back and forth on the WithKnown IRC channel yesterday](https://github.com/mapkyca/KnownchatLogs/blob/master/2017-03-23.md), with -- alas -- no input (yet?) from the developers.

I'm going to continue trying to understand Known because right now it seems to me the best place to continue pursuing ideals.

Another test of Quill editor

Writing something nice again, but I have enabled the Markdown plugin on Known.


And maybe a headline too

Utterly bizarre; when I went to write a new post, the above was already there. In other words, the content of the post from Quill, without the block quote.

>This should be a markdown block quote.

I'm knackered. Will try some more tomorrow.

So need something in HTML, like this block quote
