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

@jackbaty There are many who are using Known as part of a "multi-site" solution: https:/
I'm actually using both WordPress and Known, depending on what I'm posting and why. Sometimes two is better than one, and it helps me have the best of all worlds. I also often use Known for posting from mobile quickly: https:/
I didn't join apparently until almost exactly four months later on September 10, 2014, but it was a day that has definitively changed my life for the better. Thanks to all the folks in both the company and in the community who have made Known what it is today!
@Mercy They seem like completely different products to me.
Known is a CMS which allows you to own your data, then publish and syndicate it to multiple platforms (including uploading to Anchor). It doesn't have any audio creation or editing functionality. I have seen people using this and WordPress lately for small personal microcast "channels" which can be subscribed to or syndicated out to other social platforms.
Anchor appears to have some production and publishing tools as well as a distribution platform of sorts. It looks like the material you publish to your own station can be listened to for 24 hours, but then disappears unless you archive it to your account privately. Fortunately you can export your audio with a little bit of gymnastics, but it's not intuitive. This seems more like an ephemeral audio version of snapchat to me.
I'm curious what you're looking for in a minipodcast? I'm considering something shortly myself and have been looking at Anchor as well as Opinion2, Spreaker Studio, audioBoom, tryca.st, and even others as simple as using my LiveScribe Echo pen to record and then distribute via my Known or WordPress sites.

Support for Read posts? (Core or Plugin?) · Issue #1703 · idno/Known https:/
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:/
Cross-posting this to the Google Group as well.

@denials Are you using Known as a tool, for #Indieweb purposes, or both? https:/
@Mikirk1 You should give it a spin if you're interested: http:/
