Mitch, I also love SNAP! If you didn't see it, they added Medium support in their last update after Medium released their write API. Medium also has their own WordPress plugin which will allow you to broadcast there easily and quickly too.
if you're game, there's a few other tools you might think about adding to your workflow:
First you should know about http:/
One particular one that integrates well with SNAP is Syndication Links [https:/
The concept of task completion in IndieWeb also reminds me a little of the functionality GoodRead.com has for updating one's status on reading a book: Either I'm on page X of Y or I'm X% done with book. Eventually one completes the book. In their UI, they also present a completion bar with the percentage of the book that's read to give a visual indicator as well. I don't suppose there's any reason a webmention couldn't also include a percentage finished to add this piece of data.

I'll also note that WordPress (via JetPack) just updated their recipe shortcode: https:/

Similar to this issue with Jetpack: https:/
The text output from Syndication Links (the default text "Syndicated to:" ) shows up in the syndicated copies (and I'd generally think that most wouldn't want it from a UI/UX perspective). I've tried syndicating to most of the major platforms and Facebook and Tumblr appear to be the primary offenders.

@devonzuegel I came across your blog serendipitously and was impressed with some of the nifty tools you've implemented as well as the workflow you seem to have worked out vis-a-vis your website and miscellaneous tools. Thanks for sharing it all!
The idea of Instanote is intriguing to me, though I've been using MS OneNote instead of Evernote, which I've sampled several times. In addition to InstaPaper's API, I've previously used IFTTT.com to port over highlights. I've also been experimenting around with using http:/
Given the way you use your website(s) for both identity and knowledge gathering (and owning your own data), I feel compelled to mention a group of hackers working in loose (but very open and very collaborative) concert at http:/
Also given the terrific overlap in books we're reading/read, I might recommend physicist Sean Carroll's relatively new book The Big Picture (particularly part 4 on Complexity) which had some overlap on topics like Schelling's model of segregation as they relate to complexity and spontaneous organization which you may find interesting.
I'm encouraged that new World Bank Chief Economist @paulmromer is a part of the #IndieWeb #OwnYourOwnDomain http:/
@djsardine @owenpeery I'm happy to help you both set up a personal website if you're interested. Alexander, I could do it at the HWC mtg coming up on 7/27 (that I'd mentioned). Owen, if you're on WordPress, you can prettily easily add some IndieWeb goodness to what you've already got, then syndicating your work from there out to silos like Facebook, Twitter, Medium, etc. (for the extra reach) is pretty easy.
@djsardine There's an upcoming HWC mtg https:/
@djsardine I use #indieweb services for academic related uses if you want to compare notes or need help, I'm also nearby.

The IndieWeb is a growing people-focused alternative to the ‘corporate web’.
Haven't you (or your clients) always wanted to be the "hub" of your own online presence with ancillary social services helping to serve your purposes rather than the services' own interests? Isn't this why we all want to build and have our own online spaces in the first place?
With the rise of areas like social media, it's often the case that much of our content and material lives in corporate silos like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and a variety of other sites. Sadly, as netizens, we do not have direct control over these sites, often can't export our data from them, and they can be (and often are) bought out or shut down at almost a moments notice. Worse, comments and interaction with our content is typically also stuck in these silos and it lives or dies with them. Wouldn't you love to have the network effect and value that these sites bring without the extra work or hindrances they bring?
There is a growing and very viable alternative to this model which is being built by the IndieWebCamp community as a multi-platform and opensource project.
Those who are interested in learning about and discussing some of the basic principles and philosophies of the movement are encouraged to attend. We'll chat about some of the current projects and capabilities as well as open standards that help enable the functionality you've always wanted (or maybe didn't know you wanted until now) in your websites.
A wealth of information about the IndieWeb community can be found at their website, but as a brief overview some of their basic principles appear below:
Your content is yours
When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.
You are better connected
Your articles and status messages can go to all services, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone. Even replies and likes on other services can come back to your site so they’re all in one place.
You are in control
You can post anything you want, in any format you want, with no one monitoring you. In addition, you share simple readable links such as example.com/ideas. These links are permanent and will always work.

Thanks @snarfed, brilliant find as I wouldn't have thought of it. I took out the first one which I'd had hiding in a widget and moved into my header for clarity a few months back.
I vaguely recall putting the others in many months ago, but honestly I can't remember for the life of me where they came from (probably IWC) or which portion of my WordPress is actually generating them now. I also don't seem to recall where I was hiding my code that injects my rel="icon" photos (primarily for shortcut buttons on iOS and Android), though I'm guessing they're in the same place. Any suggestions on where a clever guy who's too sleep deprived to find them right now may have hidden them? None of the IndieWeb plugin sub-plugins would be generating them quietly could they?!
The quirky part is that all three lines have been in there a while and (to my knowledge) haven't been causing problems until about a week ago.
The 6 or so outstanding webmentions went right through without any issue, so I'll mark this as closed for now unless problems continue.
