Test driving modifications made to my cards plugin meant to pass tweet links along when cross-posting while embedding them on my site (I want to generalize the #LastYearToday stuff so it ain't just on Twitter):
https://twitter.com/moondeerdotblog/status/1394049710436995072Moving forward, the signed art within posts oughta be tappable for the purpose of loading a lightbox at full resolution. Gave myself a Hugo shortcode that fetches the high resolution image off of GitHub as a resource to create thumbnail and full resolution copies of the image via the image processing API.
When you create an iOS shortcut just for fetching the list of sh$t you tweeted precisely a year ago.
Of course, there is always my first app idea (circa not long after I hammered this out in FLStudio around the same time that Steve Jobs was making iPhones a thing), a social networking community for musical collaboration. "Hey guy, listen to this and see if you can lay in some guitar.", etc. I was gonna call it Reciprocity. I still own the reciprocity.co domain ('cause I f$&king love the word).
Had I an individual with which to partner capable of harnessing the #CreativeADHD that emanates so effortlessly only to evaporate into the aether as soon as focus shifts to the tedium tied to actualization…
(And don't get me wrong … I suck at lots of sh$t … just not this kind of sh$t).
Just to add to my list of app ideas I'll likely never get around to (notable entries include an app with an algorithm for translating light frequency to audio frequency in such a way that one could listen to images, an app for generating sheet music from bird song, and an app where you trace out as many "faces" as you can find for a given high def nature photo) … how 'bout an app where you start with a given image and, being constrained to the existing collection of pixel values (but not their initial locations) see what you can create out of them by moving them about.
.@manton Does Micro.blog's Micropub API support setting categorie(s) in the message headers? Seems to be the last thing to figure out before creating myself a fresh posting shortcut.
Update: nevermind, found the Micropub standard, assuming Micro.blog's implementation conforms.
Yet another update: It does.
The f$&k-around-with list for the bookshelves plugin.
plugin-gallery (a README Experience)

gallerypartial, introduced by optional title and description elements and promoted to its own standalone page. The code for this plugin lives hereplugin-banner (a README Experience)
A Micro.blog plugin for dropping page-specific banners into your theme. Its code lives here
Okay … whatever. So I guess the Micro.blog READMEs have their own page now.
plugin-plausible (a README Experience)
A plugin for Micro.blog for adding Plausible Analytics. Its code lives here.
When you waste 45 minutes, give or take, because you have to debug the GD static site generator in order to get it to generate a page highlighting its own code using its own highlighter (turns out, the
highlightshortcode ≢ code fence parsing … stellar work fellas).What f$&king YAML? Hugo, you're such a d$ck.
plugin-social-media-links (a README Experience)
A Micro.blog plugin for injecting your social media account links into the page
<head>with a partial suitable for profile display. It's code lives here.plugin-table-of-contents (a README Experience)
A plugin for Micro.blog for generating a slide-over table of contents. Its code lives here.
plugin-conversation (a README Experience)

plugin-programmable-search-engine (a README Experience)
A plugin for Micro.blog for adding a site search interface using Google’s programmable search engine API. It’s code lives here
Been awhile since I've wonder whether I oughta just serve my site from the office desktop and hand-roll an app for pushing content over to feed the site (as well as the custom cross-post routines I could tailor to fit my needs) … coded in Swift, head-to-toe.
I may as well move all the plugins back inside my theme so I can bundle resources and optimize page loads.
Show me a cooler lightbox shortcode after test driving the section one examples with the adorable shots of Murphy and I'll owe you a beer.
plugin-lightbox (a README Experience)
A plugin for Micro.blog for presenting a slide carousel containing images and/or videos. Its code lives here.
Okay, Micro.blog plugin consumers … y'all think my plugins should default to having fingerprint on or off? The only reason to default to having it off would be convern over cache-busting (I would assume only full rebuilds or plugin modifications cause the link to change). @sod
plugin-category-cloud (a README Experience)
A plugin for Micro.blog that creates a page displaying links to your categories layed out as a category cloud. Its code lives here.
plugin-cards (a README Experience)
plugin-cards is a Micro.blog plugin for generating link preview cards on various platforms (including your blog) as well as generating structured data for search engine consumption. Its code lives here.
The rough draft up on the test blog of the walkthrough (that has turned into the updated README) for plugin-cards. Probably dot the 'I's and cross the 'T's tomorrow.
