Statuses

Dave Winer linked this morning to a 2008 post on a “decentralized Twitter”. I believe that MyStatusTool meets that definition. I also discussed this more in a February 2023 post where I link to some other Dave Winer posts on bootstrapping. MyStatusTool is definitely in the bootstrap phase, and available to anyone who wants to try it (see this post for an example)!

I have migrated the feed reading part of MyStatusTool to use the formatting from Colin Walker’s MST-PHP implementation – looks great! Next up will be to add posting capability…

Via Ben Werdmuller, read this post about “Open Podcast Standards”, seems like an effort to promote new “tags” within a feed. I hope that their “new” feeds are still compliant RSS 2.0 feeds…

More on Twitter API death watch – saw this post by Ryan Barrett (developer of Bridgy federation tool)(check out Bridgy for Mastodon!) where he references a Twitter Community post that April 29th is the final date for original Twitter API support. Oops! Guess I misread that…. my app is still working, even if WordPress.com is not!

Made some progress on incorporating the MST-PHP post styling within the sample app for user authentication! This is a static feed, but helped me to understand the formatting and how to access JSON data within an Express application.

I posted a question on Dave Winer’s chatbot about fat pages, got a decent response!

Frank McPherson would like a personal search engine for his writing rather than an AI. I don’t think I have enough online writing to make use of an AI of my writing.
