Hey @aonrud@mastodon.ie @isaac@lakora.us @room_nb@log.nyaight.me! I noticed you also use #MicroBlogPub. I recently started playing around with it and then realized the original author stopped responding/maintaining it...
I am starting to talk to other users about creating a new home for central coordination here: https://github.com/orgs/microblog-pub/discussions
It would be great to exchange ideas and maybe work together to keep this project up...
Hey @me@chrichri.ween.de! I noticed you also use MicroBlog.pub. Actually, I found you through this request on the original repo: https://todo.sr.ht/~tsileo/microblog.pub/125
Have you implemented that? That is one of the things I miss the most in the current Article writing experience.
By the way, considering the silence from Tomas, I am starting to talk to other users about moving the development here: https://github.com/microblog-pub
It would be great to exchange ideas and maybe work together on keeping this project up...
@0x3b0b@bw3.dev I saw that you use #microblog to host your federated presence. I am contacting people who do so to try to reanimate the project. Would love to hear your ideas: https://github.com/orgs/microblog-pub/discussions
Although I haven't used this poor abandoned blog much, it is not because I dislike the MicroBlog.pub software that I am using to self-host it. It actually helped me to learn about the IndieWeb.org and MicroPub.net communities, as well as practice work with the ActivityPub.rocks protocol (which is the engine of the #Fediverse).
Sadly, as I got excited about MicroBlog.pub, I realized that the creator had abandoned the project for more than a year. Issues, requests, and pull requests have piled up. The excitement of users faded away as I found forks close doors. But it is #opensource, right?
Yep!
Hence, I decided to contact some other users and start a collective effort to keep this cool project alive. Here is where it will live: https://github.com/microblog-pub
Let us hope I will be able to put together a good crew.
