Setup

• I mainly use my own custom setup called Bundle .

• Django+MySQL with a lot of custom Python code, hosted on Webfaction.com

• Post types currently active: Article and Notes

• Webmentions sent to all links using ronkyuu

• POSSE notes to Twitter using Bridgy/publish.

Itch

This is a list of things I want to get working on this site. It is more for my bookkeeping than your reading, but if you have suggestions for things or how to best ‘scratch’ any of these, let me know!

To do

• automate sending webmentions in some sane way. (Django post_save signal failed.)
• parse received webmentions using an asyc queue.
• move to a file-based storage (consider html+mf2) and use MySQL for meta-cache only. See databases-antipattern (2015年01月07日 削除) (responses to articles moved to YAML files.) (削除ここまで) (2017年05月05日 削除) Started Pullback-Note to move notes from DB. (削除ここまで) (2017年05月05日 追記) Started Manifold-Note notes now stored in html+mf2+json files. Add delete and undelete. Change update to write only what is changed. (追記ここまで)
• eliminate explicit post types (aricles vs notes) in DB?
• migrate bookmarks from Feedly
• use micropub to build a good posting UI alternative to Django's admin.
• indie reader (far-future; look into microsub)
• better homepage idea: use homepage for updates, including status (like currently reading), latest notes and articles and also entry points to explore other things on the site. Reserve about page for info about self and site. Why?: homepage is where readers would land first, and presumably they are more interested in "what's new?"
• better reply-context and embedding.
• auto-linking (such as @username) in notes and responses
• chaining conversations.
• notifications for new activity such as new responses to posts
• self-host photos/art. move from Google and deviantArt. import old tweets and G+ posts to own site.
• move draft posts from old blogger site. put up move notice on posts with new URL.
• composite stream of all post-types
• accept webmentions from Twitter and G+ through form
• cleanup sub projects and put on Github for others to possibly use.
• accept webmentions linking to alternate URLs of posts e.g. https or http
• publish page listing replies to some URL. Useful to see all marginalia to some particular post/ebook.
• import ebook notes from Google Play to site as marginalia
• markup papers data with mf2 to represent all information like DOI and journal-accepted versions.
• fix hfeed2atom to include response-context
• delete the responses container if all responses are marginalia. (might not actually be an issue IRL)

Done

• (2014年04月22日 削除) Improve webmention parsing using mf2py. (削除ここまで) (Done: as of at least 2014年04月22日)
• (2014年04月22日 削除) enable backfeed using Bridgy. (削除ここまで) (Done: as of at least 2014年04月22日)
• start posting (2014年07月09日 削除) likes, reposts, (削除ここまで) links, (2016年12月17日 削除) bookmarks (削除ここまで)
• (2014年05月23日 削除) enable https and SSL stuff (削除ここまで) (Done: as of 2014年05月23日)
• (2014年07月10日 削除) enable micro-level responses aka annotations using fragmention. (削除ここまで) (Done: on 2014年07月10日 see: marginalia-active)
• (2014年04月23日 削除) receive mentions on Notes. (Hint: use url to identify posts instead of DB objects.) (削除ここまで) (Done: as of 2014年04月23日)
• (2017年05月05日 削除) cache or lazy load avatars for improved performance (削除ここまで) (2017年05月05日 追記) Done: cacheing avatars for a year using Google's image cache/resizing (see Google's authentication-less, on-the-fly image resizing service) (追記ここまで)
• (2014年07月03日 削除) move itch page to own site (削除ここまで) (Done on 2014年07月03日)
• (2014年08月02日 削除) paginate notes feed with some sane date grouping. Possibly by year-month (削除ここまで) (Done on 2014年08月02日)
• (2017年05月05日 削除) separate colophon page listing the plumbing innards of the site. (削除ここまで) (2017年05月05日 追記) Not necessary (追記ここまで)
• (2017年01月14日 削除) fix responsive images height issue: currently my responsive images don’t know their heights and so cause flow when they load. This interferes with fragmention for instance. (削除ここまで) (Done as of 2017年01月14日; responsive images have a placeholder of correct size until they load.)
• (2016年12月27日 削除) remove the over-zealous fragmention handling in receiving webmentions which assumes the double-hash "##" notation; use whatever URL is received. update marginalia to accept this. (削除ここまで) (Done as of 2016年12月27日)
• (2016年12月27日 削除) remove marginalia.js from notes (since it is useless there), and put only on article permalink pages. (削除ここまで) (Done as of 2016年12月27日)
