Support for Read posts? (Core or Plugin?) · Issue #1703 · idno/Known https://github.com/idno/Known/issues/1703

From what I can tell the current master version now supports bookmarks, likes, replies, and reposts from within the core "Like" plugin while earlier versions (0.9.2 and prior) would require the KnownReactions plugin to support all of these.

I was considering making a "Read" plugin to better differentiate (from bookmarks) as posts which I've actually read the content of. To most users bookmark implies one will come back to and read something at a later date.

In an educational setting, I can see it would be useful to be able to indicate implicitly that one has actually read a particular article/assignment/other along with a field of notes one may have taken on the assignment--very similar to a current bookmark post, but with a slightly different connotation and slightly different mf2 markup (u-read-of perhaps?)

I'm happy to take a shot at a PR the the core "Like" plugin since it appears that it'd only need a handful of lines of code (and would be a bit more DRY than yet another full blown plugin especially for the portion of the tabbed UI which allows one to easily switch between the multiple types after starting a post), but thought I'd see what the thoughts were with regard to core since the company version has an academic focus which this would certainly dovetail with well.

In a similar vein, I could also imagine Watch and Listen post types as well. I'll note that there's already a more entertainment focused version of a plugin called `[Known-Watching](https://github.com/cleverdevil/Known-Watching)`.

Cross-posting this to the Google Group as well.

@AskMariaC @nancyrink @RobinJM I suspect that because it's built on @WithKnown there's a way I could use my own site to post to teach.kqed.org so that I own all of my content that I post to the site (as well as potentially get all the replies back). It's obvious that I can post replies to the site (see my test on https://teach.kqed.org/2017/new-user-i-will-updated which originated from http://stream.boffosocko.com/2017/curious-to-see-if-i-can-reply-from-out-of), but I suspect I may need something else for native posts

I suspect that it will potentially require a plugin like https://github.com/mapkyca/KnownKnown to be able to oAuth in so I can syndicate directly to the site. Do you support this functionality? Has it been considered? I suspect it may also require some additional work to target specific pages/sub-pages for various modules, so don't kill yourselves for my edge case if this requires more than I think it may.

Given that you're introducing educators to such a fantastic platform, it would be nice to encourage people to have their own sites which they could then later use in conjunction with their own local classrooms and students.

Congratulations, by the way, on not only a fantastic site, but on some some great content. I find it a bit reminiscent of the https://bighistoryproject.com/ and the related teacher site/resources at https://www.yammer.com/bhpteachercommunity#/home, but I know they've got infinitely deeper pockets. Sadly they don't have the more integrated learning environment the teach.kqed site does.
