Tracking: Collaboration with other Node.js Micropub projects

This is a tracking issue for collaboration work in my part of the Node.js IndieWeb ecosystem.

My Micropub-related modules

• micropub-express – an Express Micropub endpoint that accepts and verifies Micropub requests and calls a callback with a parsed micropubDocument.
• format-microformat – a module that takes a micropubDocument as its input, and converts this data into a standard that can be published elsewhere. Currently supports the Jekyll format.
• github-publish – a module that takes a filename and content and publishes it to a GitHub repository. The formatted data generated by format-microformat can be published to a Jekyll blog hosted on a GitHub, or a GitHub Pages site.

Other IndieWeb projects of mine

• webmention.herokuapp.com – an open source hosted Webmention endpoint

Collaboration opportunities found so far

• Deletion support in node-github-publish: https://github.com/voxpelli/node-github-publish/issues/34

Excellent idea! I’m all for it!

I don’t know if you’ve mentioned them already but I’ve talked with @EdwardHinkle and @martymcguire about a similar idea of having express middleware to do generic things.

I’m also the proud owner of the @indieweb organization on mom if we ever get to a stage where we have something were happy to publish as a group.

As for relation to my current personal projects, I have a few endpoints I have made - mainly a micropub endpoint, webmention endpoint and token endpoint. The majority of the code it fairly resuable but not 100% designed as npm modules. The goal for my project is to be a fairly feature complete, fully extendable indieweb backend with the frontend totally independent. I would love if it was usable with static sites but that is not my main goal.

In my indieweb dreams I would love to have a bunch of reusable endpoints / modules to cover a range on indieweb functionality. Mainly from the top of my head:

• micropub
• tokens
• auth
• webmention accept
• webmention send (I think there is already a good implementation of this)
• post type discovery
• format conversion (mf2 to jf2 to md frontmatter etc)
• maybe url parsing (basically mf2 html parser + other metadata fallback)

That’s about all I can think of for now on my phone but I’m sure there is much more

@paulrobertlloyd I’ve been lurking watching your repo so can’t claim serendipity 😃

I’m excited too and am a willing guinea pig for my new site. Certainly will try to chip in where I can code wise or other types of contribution.
