Will your group be developing this in public? I’d love to follow along and contribute where I can.
Glad to know that this plugin is getting a breath of new life! It was such a cool concept, a decade ago… while it was regularly maintained.
Since then, I have resorted to simply having a special category on my main blog — ‘Snippets’ — where I’d place random thoughts and similar things. Eventually, I also gave up on that idea — it became easier to do that on Twitter and just embed it on the page.
However, my ‘solution’ — if you can even call it that! — was only appropriate for a single-user-blog… for a more complex solution, I’d have to use, say, bbPress or something similar — which are ‘heavyweights’ to accomplish what seems to be something quite simple…
I’m intrigued by your approach — i.e. using a weighty CMS (outdated conceptually, but fortunately being constantly improved) to implement microblogging, but, knowing your background and history, I’m confident that you have good reasons to have picked that solution since there are quite a lot of other concepts out there, some of which may scale much better than WordPress: https://github.com/BasixKOR/awesome-activitypub
Aye, ActivityPub is really a must these days. It’s a pity that it’s so tricky to implement, even using a good library… good luck with that. I’d love to run my own ActivityPub-compatible server, but I’m not willing to install Ruby on Rails or Java — two popular choices for developing ActivityPub-compliant services. I’m strictly a PHP & Go girl 🙂 and hate Java with a vengeance 🙂
Okay, okay, okay… This is exciting news! Any idea when this will have a debut? Bugged or not, I want in! Please let this become a reality! I’ve been waiting for this moment!
Hi folks, here’s an update.
We decided not to fork this plugin but to start over from scratch. We’ve made a pretty full-featured theme, but not a plugin yet—that’s next. Should be pretty cool.
At some point soon we will be developing it publicly, yes, but it’s a good idea to have the basics done in advance of such a release.
When will it be available? Not sure. June? July?
Oh, I’m so bummed! I was so looking forward to the fork. Didn’t want a theme at all but rather to add a feature to my blog called “The Pulse”. So, it’s September and I’m curious if you’ve had the ability to release it. If you have, could we have a link? I’d be willing to pay for a plugin for sure…
I’d pay for a plugin as well with API option since WordPress is now moving to React front -end with Frontity and Faustjs. Do you have the release ready?
