Sad realization: My browser has 50 tabs open, 38 of them were for "itches" I want to work on...

This sounds a lot like the opening thoughts of the IndieWeb movement: https://indieweb.org
They not only live this philosophy, they're pushing the envelope by building new infrastructure to make it even better.

 

@cvoxel You can totally do it with your WordPress blog already http://indieweb.com/WordPress

 

UI: Duration doesn't make sense in Read post kind · Issue #65 · dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/issues/65

When making a "Read" post in which data exists in the "time" tab for published dt and updated dt, the output displays more like one would anticipate with a music post type (or jam, listen, play, watch, travel) using start/end vocabulary instead and outputting a "Duration".

Duration may make sense if one were doing a start/end time for their reading, but then the scraper shouldn't be automatically pulling in the publish/update dates/times. Personally I'd prefer to let the publication time of my post indicate when the thing was read and have Post Kinds indicate the publication of the original piece I was reading.

Possibly better would be an if/then statement to differentiate types and for Read types outputting a date/time for the original publication and/or potentially an updated date/time if it exists.

At present, the issue is most common on New York Times posts for which the scraper pulls in the correct metadata.

Example: http://boffosocko.com/2016/11/14/chris-aldrich-is-reading-facebook-restores-iconic-vietnam-war-photo-it-censored-for-nudity/
![duration](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5882943/20466247/6e5f67aa-af24-11e6-9d57-f83c3928163f.PNG)

For a small portion of IndieWeb sites, the scraper is returning data in these fields that are identical for both the published and updated fields which returns an odd duration result as well. (See: http://boffosocko.com/2016/11/11/chris-aldrich-is-reading-fragmentions-for-poets/) Perhaps if the date/time in both fields are identical, there could be some error checking to prevent a spurious output since published shouldn't equal updated.

 
 

Replied to a post on github.com :

Because Independent Publisher works really well with [IndieWeb technologies](https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb/), people interested in this type of functionality might look into Kartik Prabhu's post (and resources) relating to marginalia at: https://kartikprabhu.com/articles/marginalia

Using this, one could allow for [Fragmentions](https://indieweb.org/fragmention) and then in conjunction with the marginalia set up, one could be nearly ready to go. It's not quite as "native" as the simple functionality that Medium offers, but is much nicer from the philosophic viewpoint of allowing the user to own all their data.

 

Because you're on Known, you're definitely sending webmentions (presuming you're using the default set up), but it may be the case that gRegorLove isn't accepting them, or it's possible that he's moderating them too (which several definitely do). [According to https://indieweb.org/webmention, he's both sending and receiving.] Not everyone in IndieWeb necessarily accepts webmentions (yet). You could ask him in the IRC, or alternately ping him via @mention in Twitter as he often syndicates his content there as well to check.

 

If you do a google search for bookmarklet and Quill you'll find some javascript stuff for making posting a tad easier with it, though I haven't set them up yet myself.

Speaking of something to steal, you might appreciate this post with regard to setting up Known for your mobile phone: http://stream.boffosocko.com/2016/sharing-from-the-indieweb-on-mobile-android-with-apps-and

 

Google image searches of my friend's names result in a lot of photos from me/my personal site run by @withknown.

 
 

@Mikirk1 This is a hilarious Title!
