@hjertnes I post to my website using either Quill, Omnibear, the Micro.Blog macOS app, the Micro.Blog iOS app, Sunlit 2.0, or Indigenous. I think they’re all pretty solid.
@eli I just got started using it as well. Because I got around to supporting more micropub stuff yesterday :)
@hjertnes I used to love tumblr’s posting interface. Micropub brings most of those feelings back for me.
@kaa I love the look of todayposter, but alas, it doesn’t support micropub, so isn’t compatible with my site. 🤔 perhaps I should fork it?
@eli I don't understand how to login to Quill or Omnibear? It says "micro.blog/kerim This is not a supported authentication provider." There are instructions, but they don't make sense to me... Thanks for your help.
@manton I used Micro.oxus.net, but that’s still what the error message reads. Also I have twitter integration enabled already, so not sure if there is anything else I’m missing?
@kerim check out indieweb.org/IndieAuth and indieauth.com/setup they’ll hopefully offer some more insight about the key pieces that need to be in place.
@kerim Adding Twitter cross-posting doesn't automatically set things up for IndieAuth. Maybe it should, but in the meantime see Account → Edit Apps. This help page has some more tips.
@eli But Omnibear doesn't seem to work right in Chrome… disabled all other extensions and it still doesn't seem to work ðŸ˜
@kerim hmmm, does it provide any error messages of any sort? Does it fail at auth, or during post creation? If at post creation, do any posting contexts work, or do they all fail? Also, if at post, do other micropub clients seem to work?
@eli It authenticates, but when I click on the icon in the menubar the window that opens up is just a narrow blank bar without any user interface. No error messages.
@kerim ah, woof, alas, that doesn't feel like a micropub issue, that seems like a bug in Omnibear itself. I only ever use it form Firefox. The app is open sourced on Github, you could try filing an issue about this to see if you can get any further insight into what is going on. In the meantime, there are a HEAP of other micropub clients to play with: Quill, the Micro.Blog macOS app, the Micro.Blog iOS app, Sunlit 2.0, and Indigenous to name a few.
@eli Thanks. I was really looking for something that would streamline sharing webpages in chrome as easily as the micro.blog sharing extensions works on iOS… Thought this would do the trick! I’ll file a bug report when I have time.
@kerim I highly suggest looking into Quill. It supports a number of bookmarklets, which make posting likes/replies and that sort of thing a dream.
@simonmumbles drat. Omnibear works great in Firefox 😠Quill rocks, though! It is my primary posting interface. I even run a self hosted instance that I’ve slightly tweaked the UI of. Been dreaming of doing more, though.
@hjertnes how could I forget! Also, q: re configuration. Where exactly do I add the config? I think I may be confused because I always get the message: Symbol’s value as variable is void: endpoint
but I think I've got everything configured properly
@eli where you enable the layer; something like (micropub :variables key "value" key "value)
@eli is it possible to make custom bookmarklets for Quill? I couldn’t find any documentation on that…
@kerim what do you mean custom bookmarklets? What are you hoping to do? At the bottom, directly above the footer of some posting contexts, there is a bookmarklet link.
@eli I want to share a markdown formatted link to the current webpage on my micro blog, just like I can do on iOS from the share extension.
@kerim ah. Gotchya. I don’t think micro.blog supports any micropub posting contexts other than standard blog posts and notes (posts without a title). I wonder if the workflow app, or maybe drafts could fill this roll for you? I’ve seen other folks talk about using those to post to micro.blog directly.
@eli those are iOS apps. The iOS micro.blog extension works just fine, but there is no equivalent for the chrome on the desktop.
@kerim ah. Sorry, missed that detail 😬 I’m not at a computer right now, but I wonder if the micro.blog macOS app can do that? If you aren’t on macOS...hmmm. This’ll take some noodling 🤔
@eli I could definitely see myself trying it with a self-hosted site, for sure. Good to know it works as well it does should I ever properly take on that commitment.
