Thanks for the notice. Just checked, and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe it was temporarily unavailable? I've kind of abandoned it, for now, to concentrate on the version I am hosting myself. But I don't want to shut it down until #WithKnown makes it possible to export data from that version and import it to the master. Not that there's anything all that valuable there, but still ...

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 #indieweb ideals.

Pure voodoo. What did not work a couple of days ago works today. Exactly the same! So, Kudos to @dg01d and his plugin to syndicate from @withknown to pnut.

I wonder whether Brid.gy can talk to pnut.

Do you know anything as #indieweb capable as @withknown out of the box @raretrack ?

Mysterious typography

Cannot for the life of me work out why @WithKnown styles these two reply type posts differently -- but it does.

I wonder whether I can use the Recipe plugin for @withknown to markup a recipe for #indieweb and then copy the HTML to my own site?

Quick question for Chris Aldrich, which I may be able to answer myself by judicious experimentation: how do you reply to two URLs at once?

Later: well, it isn't by including two URLs in the reply to a site field!

Another test of Quill editor

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

And maybe a headline too

Like this

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.

Completely mystified by editing a bookmark in @withknown

1 min read

I cannot get my head around how @withknown is handling posts.

I bookmark a page, with a quote from the page:

I don't like the yellow behind the text. So I click on edit, expecting to be able to at least look around.

Where is the quote?

Beats me.

Plugging away

Bummed out by the fact that Quill wasn't enabling me to syndicate directly to Twitter, I followed up on some good advice from Daniel Gold: Back to basics, uninstall and reinstall plugins one by one. Shades of WordPress. So I did that, and here's what I found:

With IndieSyndicate configured (*via* silo.pub) I can posts to Twitter just fine, but Quill still does not see that as a Syndication target and Quill cannot post to my site.

In retrospect, that's obvious, because there is no endpoint at my site.

So I enabled IndiePub and now Quill posts fine, but it still does not see any Syndication target.

I probably just have to live with that. At least for now.

Finally, re-enabled Brid.gy and everything looks good once again.

Just for the record, here, I've decided that for now I do not need these plugins: Static pages, Firefox, Events, Custom JS, Custom CSS, Comics, Audio, API tester. That may change in time.

#withknown #indieweb

Having switched Quill's endpoint to my new instance of WithKnown, I thought it only right and proper that my first post there be my first post from Quill.<p> #indieweb</p>

A giant leap ... My own installation of #withknown in a sub-domain on my main site. Getting more serious about the #indieweb, but lots more still to do.
