Reblob!

It’s been a while since I’ve worked on IndieWeb stuff, but I finally got around to releasing an extremely preliminary version of reblob, a little commandline thingus to make this stuff easier. Eventually I’ll also have a server-based version here, at least as an example.

v0.3.22, now with tag browsing functionality

I’ve now released Publ v0.3.22, which is mostly a bugfix release but also adds a couple of useful things. Major changes:

• Entries which are set to status DRAFT or GONE no longer function as path-alias redirections
• category now has tags, allowing templates to build in tag browsing
• Similarly, view now has tag refinements, making it easier to modify views' tag restrictions
• Fixed a silly bug which was causing top-level categories to not redirect without a trailing /
• Also did a bunch of refactoring on image handling, with no functionality change but it makes the code easier to navigate (I hope)

Oh and I guess I forgot to post a release announcement of v0.3.21 back on April 2, oops! There were some pretty major fixes to that:

• Somehow the <img alt> attribute got turned to <img alt_text>, which is not valid. That has been fixed. (I suspect I was really tired when I was reorganizing some code.)
• JPEGs now correctly support EXIF orientations/rotations
• Added support for entry.summary, as well as overriding the summary text on an entry..

Also, how did I miss that v0.3.21’s release was on the first anniversary of my first functioning blog post?! Wow, time flies.

Pushl v0.2.5 (not a joke!)

I have released v0.2.5 of Pushl. The changes since v0.2.4:

• Improved the logging levels a bunch, making them more useful
• Added the ability to only send WebSub for feeds

The latter improvement makes it so that if your site is accessible from multiple URLs (e.g. http and https, or multiple domain names), it won’t send multiple Webmentions to everyone with each possible URL. This helps to cut down on spamminess to sites which don’t detect multi-origin pings (such as most IndieWeb blogs or fed.brid.gy).

I also finally added a tools page to this website, to collect useful things that make Publ work better with other things. I also intend to add various useful quality-of-life things like an image cropping tool, and whatever else might occur to me down the road.

Someday I need to get around to making a proper “Features” page for this site, too. Someday…
