Testing my new Micropub MCP client — posting from the terminal via Claude Code, with automatic syndication and OG image generation.
-
Heh! this is fun !
-
Yay! my cloudron package for #funkwhale was adopted by Cloudron team, its now officially in the cloudron app store ! Unstable for now but ready for testing ! I’m going to think about how to migrate buzzworkers.com to the official funkwhale package !

I can now search across all my 5k Github starred repo’s from my own site :) I still need to finetune the search feature and perhaps add filtering based on my Github lists but it’s usable for now.
-
Working on a new feature for my GitHub activity page — a searchable starred repositories browser. The idea is to visualize all my GitHub stars with filtering by language, topic, and description, making it easy to find that one repo you starred months ago. Building it as part of the @rmdes/indiekit-endpoint-github plugin.
-
Exploring the idea of self-hosting a Bluesky PDS alongside my Indiekit instance — turning it into a dual-protocol server that federates over both ActivityPub and AT Protocol simultaneously. Inspired by Wafrn’s approach, adapted to Indiekit’s plugin architecture and Cloudron deployment. The goal: own your AT Protocol identity and data on your own infrastructure, not on bsky.social. Plan drafted, implementation to follow.

Damn, 5K github starred repo’s sorted in less than 3h How

Syndication Readiness Gate for Indiekit
Fixed a race condition where posts were syndicated to Bluesky and Mastodon before Eleventy finished building them — causing 404 links and wrong OG images that platforms cache permanently.
The fix adds a two-layer check: before syndicating each post, the system now verifies via HTTP HEAD that both the post URL and its /og/
.png image return 200. If either isn’t ready yet, the post is skipped and retried on the next 2-minute cycle. A bash-level safety net also skips the entire syndication cycle if the site itself isn’t responding.
No more “your link is broken” replies — posts only reach social platforms once they’re fully built and live.

Interesting, I just noticed Bluesky has now a “Live Stream” integration with Twitch, Streamplace and Bluecast.
You can add your link and it show up as “live” when live. Mastodon could do that with Peertube or Loop

Reorganizing 3k GitHub starred repo’s via GH cli
-
Hegseth is making a spectacle of punishing Anthropic—just like ICE made a spectacle of videotaping each immigrant deportation, and just like the CCP made a spectacle of disappearing Jack Ma for criticizing Chinese regulators.

History have proven that there is no such thing as an
American War CrimeMeaning, whatever the US does is shredded with Impunity

This should go to my roadmap page perhaps but I’m keeping it here as a note just to remember :
ActivityPub
- Improve Quotes display on my AP reader
- Improve image rendering
- Improve Quick Reply (replies that are not stored in this blog database and instead only exist as AP replies) feature so that it shows the actual post, not the JSON representation of my quick reply
- Improve CSS of the AP reader, links are hard to read (blue on grey)
- Fixed hashtags
Conversation aka Brid.gy like
- rebuild reply context to posts so that my replies to other users replies also show up in the right order in the reply thread
Eleventy
- Find a way to render #hashtags in posts, link them to my categories
-
Suspendu …

continuing from my previous post, now I also have a “read it later” plugin for indiekit, this means i can save things for later from several parts of my backyard
- microsub RSS feeds collection
- Blogroll
- Podroll
- Listening
Whatever I save for later ends up here
its really handy because my RSS aggregation is configured to NOT keep items indefinitely, it will keep the last 30 items and flush everything else but if I save something from somewhere then its safe on my read it later vault

Reclaiming My RSS Workflow
For years, my RSS reading and my writing have lived in parallel worlds. I consume through feeds, but I publish through my blog. I am increasingly convinced that this separation makes no sense, at least for a segment of my RSS subscriptions.
I have been thinking about moving my RSS reading habits outside of FreshRSS and expanding my custom RSS feed reader to import my OPML from FreshRSS.
The goal is simple: build a fully custom RSS reader with a built-in authenticated Micropub feature, deeply integrated with #indiekit.
If you’re reading this, you cannot see those interaction buttons because you’re not logged in.
On my side, I can click a button and send any item I’m reading directly into my blog’s new post creation flow. This means I can quickly comment on any external URL I’m subscribed to, and I can do so as a native IndieWeb Like, Bookmark, Reply, Repost, or even a full blown Note or Article.
When I click this “post button” either on blogroll, podroll or news or in the backend with Microsub, I can select the post type in advance.
Based on that choice, it prefills the title and URL in the appropriate fields of the post creation flow.
This may seem trivial, but for me it changes everything. I have long wanted to collapse the distance between reading and publishing, between consuming feeds and participating in them. News should not live in one silo and my blog in another.
Concretely, I might be on my podroll page listening to a podcast episode and decide to react. In just a few clicks, I can publish a response on my blog and syndicate it to Bluesky and Mastodon. Reading becomes publishing. Subscribing becomes participating.
My RSS workflow becomes part of my writing workflow.
I figured that if I really want to blog more often about what I read, explore on the web or my coding experiments my blog would need to become a hub for me, not just a blog in the open.
What’s your setup?
