- no longer a github.io URL, got a domain: raynamharris.com
- added a photo and an h-card
- the footer was only working on one page, fixed so it works across all pages
- played with some CSS themes, fixed the heading sizes
- the blog she did the most work on. Wrote a post yesterday about using asciinema
- text-based screenshare so you can copy/paste command line stuff
- used the IWC wiki to find other Jekyll people with a share section, added a "post on twitter" link, a "reply on twitter", "copy the permalink", and disqus comments
gRegor Morrill

Stephen Bowling
- http://stephenbowling.com
- started a plugin to authorize through his own website, using a local copy of micropub.rocks as a demo
Isaiah
- https://isaiah.micro.blog
- @Isaiah on Twitter, Instagram, micro.blog
- blogs about his development
- working on a client for micro.blog
- shows signin mechanism with Kiwi
- client has a nice narrow view for micro.blog, similar to oldschool twitter client
- sometimes some big pictures and they don't fit well in the timeline
- slurping up HTML, parsing images so he can output it anyway he wants... made some progress on that today, doesn't have a demo of it
- hopefully available for download soon!
Manton Reece
- Manton Reece, https://manton.org
- yesterday's session on linkrot reminded him he wanted to work on micro.blog import/export
- worked on a format called blog archive format
- exports in this format, uploads to S3
- it's a zip file with two files: index.html, jsonfeed, and a photos folder
- HTML has plain layout, but mf2
- all posts have relative paths for the folder
- idea is there is a usable format (you can look at it) but it's also machine readable
- second thing he worked on is adding microsub support to micro.blog as a server
- sign into Monocle account with micro.blog
- timeline, mentions, and favorites show up in Monocle
- only supports new posts now, not old posts, so you can't scroll back far
- added in-reply-to functionality, so can reply directly from mb
Collin
- made a rough video recap of this event, played it for us
- got a logo animation, intends to have some voiceover
Tom Brown
- Tom Brown, http://herestomwiththeweather.com
- started documenting an easy way to get set up with WordPress and a reader
- ran into some issues with Dreamhost, went back to Reclaim Hosting
- hoping to have something to recommend to get set up with a reader quickly
Cornelius Toole
- http://micro.corntoole.com
- his easy task today was connecting micro.blog to his domain
- working on blog archive format
- starting point was whatever the host gives you, since you don't usually have a choice
- found a feed-into-json project and forked it
- grabs an RSS feed from Micro Mondays
- and it will spit out index.html, index.json
- showed the resulting HTML
- showed the template he's using for the HTML markup. Posted a link in chat and would welcome feedback.
- with audio and even images, you can get into some big filesizes. Might need to export HTML first then addon tools to incrementally download assets
David Shanske
- David Shanske, https://david.shanske.com
- shows logging in to Quill
- much to his disappointment, there's no picture of the logged-in user on Quill
- submitted a PR that adds it on the Quill homepage when you're logged in
- the IndieAuth endpoint returns the name and photo of the user
- also added geofencing, within the fenced area won't show the precise location, just a name like "home"
- made a bunch of fixes to code used by Yarns and Post Kinds Plugin
Constantine Murenin
- http://constantine.su/
- Set up http://idk.su, a landing page for his email address
