Excited to hear that @WithKnown is stepping things up on the road to v1.0!

Support for Read posts? (Core or Plugin?) · Issue · 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.

New silo: pnut.io · Issue #736 · snarfed/bridgy https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/736

@dg01d has created a [Known plugin](https://github.com/dg01d/KnownPnut) to POSSE to [pnut.io](https://pnut.io/), a small Twitter-like social networking silo. Pnut was created in some sense to replace App.net which recently shut down.

He and @jeremycherfas were chatting on https://chat.indieweb.org/known/2017-03-22#bottom about possibly adding backfeed to Brid.gy for pnut.io. I'm creating this issue as a stub for potential future work, along with the ever-requisite addendum:

Enjoying using Quill to post to my Known site. Thanks for the continual improvements Aaron!<p> </p>

 

I can now update Tumblr from my Known Account!
[Edit: At least I thought I could, but something is apparently amiss...]

 

I went from a marathon bingewatch of Season 7 of The Good Wife into Season 3 of The Newsroom.

I thought I recognized the slightest resemblance between characters "Nancy Crozier," who incidentally stole every episode she appeared in, and "Hallie Shea" who reminded me of another actress Jocelyn Ranne. I suppose I'm not too surprised at all that both talented actresses are sisters, though not related to the latter.

Can't wait to delve back into Mr. Robot which also stars Grace Gummer. Sadly it'll take longer for them to make new material than it will take me to manage to watch it all. Wish I had known of them when I was at CAA years ago...

 

After far too long, I've finally configured the email notifications on my Known install...

I saw my favorite actor @michaeljkellyjr holding court at The Farm yesterday morning. I'd have said hello if I'd known he was a Braves fan.
