Drummer to WordPress! by john john (John’s World Wide Wall Display)

Frank’s technique works. This is my second test.
The possibilities for using Drummer just opened up for me. The script looks as if it is going to open my eyes a bit.

Great to see this script used in the wild for the first time John! And good to see it just works. Well, sort of. I’m glad you had the authorization figured out. On the use of Basic Auth, I don’t have a specific plugin for this. Since WordPress 5.6, you can use REST API authentication with Application Passwords out of the box.

One more thing 😉… I look forward to exploring how we could use Indieweb building blocks like Micropub and Webmentions to connect Drummer blogs. How we can reply through Post Kinds in WordPress, it would be great if we can integrate this into Drummer as well. I feel it could be the same sort of scripts but different endpoints and data objects. But again, not a programmer here. Maybe more of a code-poet…

Onwards!

Reactie op: On Mobile Blogging – Interdependent Thoughts

On Mobile Blogging by Ton Zijlstra (zylstra.org)

(written by hand on July 16th, in the French country side, typed out and edited on the laptop after returning home)
Some notes on my experience with mobile blogging in the past few weeks that we spent in France. Normally I don’t post at all during our holidays. However it usually is a time I write…

Via mijn “On This Day” links kom ik deze post weer tegen. Juist nadat ik een redelijk uitgebreide blogpost op mijn iPhone 11 heb getikt. In Obsidian en vervolgens de Markdown copy-paste naar de WordPress app. Dat ging redelijk eenvoudig maar verbetering is altijd wenselijk! Foto’s blijven een probleem, dat merk ik ook. Ik los het nu op door in een mobiele foto editor een kleinere versie te maken en die met de WordPress app toe te voegen.

Differentiating online variations of the Commonplace Book: Digital Gardens, Wikis, Zettlekasten, Waste Books, Florilegia, and Second Brains by Chris AldrichChris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)

A fluorescence of note taking tools
Over the past three or so years there has been a fluorescence of digital note taking tools and platforms.
Some of these include:
Open source projects like Org Mode, Logseq, Foam, Jupyter, Trilium, Databyss, Athens, Dendron, Anagora, and Hypothes.is.
Closed sourced…

A great collection and short history of the notetaking space and commonplace book. Again, a topic worth exploring for me. But I’m afraid it ends up another rabbithole with tons of sideways and ideas. I’m most interested in the intersection of notetaking tools, blogging culture, indieweb technology and personal communication. For instance, this note is published in public. With the use of webmentions, Chris gets a notification I talk about his work. He then chooses to (automatically) publish this response to his original blogpost and perhaps build on it. But a more interesting approach can be if I make a private note in Obsidian or any outliner tool, linking to Chris’ post. Chris still gets a notification, I give (frictionless) permission for him to see the part of the outline I write in private. Maybe we can work together on the thoughts in this outliner as well. Based on temporary and blockbased permission.
Most of the technology is already there. It’s what makes the internet. Hyperlinks and notifications. But the two-way hyperlink as Doug Engelbart envisioned is a concept that can bring communities and communication even more forward.

Eigenaardig. Zelfs als Post Kinds geen metadata kan ophalen, zou-ie toch íéts van berichtinhoud moeten genereren. ‘Vindt https://example.org/ leuk’ of zo.

Bedankt voor de tips Jan! Ik duik er eens in om te zien waar de hapering zit in de plugins. Je links en denkrichtingen brengen mij weer een stap verder!

Ik nodig Nederlandstalige Obsidian.md gebruikers uit voor de eerste Nederlandstalige Obsidian Meet-up, zaterdag 24 april 20:00. De link voor de meet-up is https://meet.tgl.eu/EerstNederlandstaligeObsidianMeetup (mijn Jitsi-server).

Leuk, vanavond een virtuele meetup voor Obsidian gebruikers. Ik ga proberen er bij te zijn. Eens zien welke slimmigheden anderen hebben met hun lokale notities! Zelf denk ik aan mijn automatisch versiebeheer in Git, misschien de iOS shortuts die ik gebruik om links op te slaan en de Alfred workflow om links op te slaan. We zullen zien!
