@davew iirc you're an outliner fan, but do you see other writing/organising tools (e.g. Obsidian and Notion) being part of the mix, for folks that choose to, of course?
@pdbartlett @davew It would be very easy to post from #obsidian or #logseq to a #wordpress blog, on top of the built-in publishing systems.
wordpress has a great API, it's easy to hook up a product like logseq up to it. wouldn't be a major undertaking, imho.
@davew @danielk I'm going to try to start writing on a more regular basis (for realz this time!) so to start with I'm going to keep it simple as one of my failure modes is putting all my effort into the technology and ending up with no content :(
My initial thought for a combined storage and publishing solution was GitHub, but sounds like WP might fill a similar gap, and by the time I need it I might feel the need to treat myself to some experimentation time :)
@pdbartlett @davew I am just setting up the ActivityPub integration in my WordPress blog. Takes some getting used to, but works when it works.
@danielk @davew I've gone for writing in Obsidian (mainly), generating with Quarto and publishing to GH Pages: https://pdbartlett.github.io. It's still early days, and I'm still copy/pasting into the "little textbox" here, but other than that it's going okay. Must check if Mastodon has its own posting API (would be nice if it supported MetaWeblog ofc!) as opposed to interop via ActivityPub.
@danielk @davew Looks like not only is there a ReST API (not looked in enough detail to see how similar or otherwise it is to MetaWeblog) there are also some client libraries: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/libraries/! I see some automation in my future, esp. as Quarto has a post-render hook ;)
