Episode 10 – The Thrilla in Manilla


October 1st will be the 43 anniversary of the Ali/Frazer fight. I spent a month in Manila and the title was suggested by Chris as appropriate.

In this week’s episode, we discussed new developments in WordPress and what I’ve wanted to accomplish for all these years in the Indieweb community. The ability to read something on my phone, store it on my website to either share or just save, as appropriate.

We discussed recent projects I’d worked on, such as the Micropub plugin, client discovery in IndieAuth, Post Kinds, etc.

Ryan Barrett, who created the Micropub endpoint for WordPress, has turned the project over to the Indieweb repository as he has not been using it or actively working on it. I have been actively working on a major set of changes for it over the last two months. Ryan, despite not using it, has been generous with his time and feedback, despite the occasional WordPress or PHP frustration…and hopefully not too much from me. In his honor, I wrote this post on Indigenous for Android, published via the current release version of Micropub.
