This is because I also don’t want to deal with silo interfaces most of the time.
Ben Werdmüller (Ben Werdmüller)I’m also going to make a strong argument in the open source Known community that syndication should be limited to webhooks going forward. In other words, third parties will be able to create microservices with a standard API, which your Known or other indieweb-compatible site will be able to connect to. You could click a button to notify those services (or have your site do it automatically). But any kind of API maintenance would be taken out of the core code or official plugins. Not only is life too short, but it’s long past time to stop building code on top of centralized silos of content.
I have to agree with Ben. The Micropub plugin for WordPress triggers a WordPress hook based on syndication targets and I’m working on a compatible system for the Post Editor, so that the UI doesn’t need to know how the item is POSSEd.
