If you write a custom WordPress theme or plugin only for your site, you probably want to include Update URI: false in the header comment. This stops WordPress from checking for updates against the official directories and potentially overwriting your code.

If IndieBlocks’ reply (and bookmark, and like, and so on) contexts look off after the update to version 0.11.1., you could try adding the following to your theme’s functions.php (or better yet, an mu-plugin):

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function () {
  wp_dequeue_style( 'indieblocks-bookmark-style' );
  wp_dequeue_style( 'indieblocks-like-style' );
  wp_dequeue_style( 'indieblocks-reply-style' );
  wp_dequeue_style( 'indieblocks-repost-style' );
}, PHP_INT_MAX );

Released both IndieBlocks v0.9.1 and Share on Mastodon v0.17.2.

(Hopefully) fixed a few small issues, probably broke a couple things.

Added multi-user (and thus multisite) support to https://github.com/janboddez/scrobbble.

So, I just moved this site over to a WordPress Mulitisite install, and almost certainly broke a couple things. A few other things, like scrobbles, have been temporarily disabled. (Scrobbles in particular were sort of dead anyway, although I plan to revive them one day.)

Tried deploying to WP.org straight from—I know—GitHub and it seems to work, yay!

I’m always super late at adopting these things. (And generally stay away from hypes. I don’t use npm or Tailwind or SCSS. No GameStop stock for me. I use a 9-year-old Windows laptop. And so on.)

Been playing with the Webmention plugin a bit. Seems you have to register CPTs with explicit trackbacks support for them to be able to receive mentions. Also made IndieBlocks’ Facepile block work with them, in an MVP-sort-of way. Think I’m going to just hardcode this bit, rather than make it configurable.

Version 0.15.0 of Share on Mastodon is out. It comes with a “template” setting, which supports very basic tags. The per-post “custom message” feature has been improved, too. And image alt text is now fetched from the post content (with the Media Library value as a fallback).

Completely overhauled—disclaimer: this version’s not live, yet!—Share on Mastodon’s “image alt text” functions.

It’ll now always parse post content for images, and store each image’s alt (if any) attribute, and use that, regardless of what was stored—or not stored, courtesy of the “new” block editor—in wp_postmeta.

Pushed v0.7.0 of IndieBlocks. I’ll write a little something over on the IndieBlocks blog later this week. Main change is the (very basic) Location block, which will of very little use to … almost everybody. Plus smaller tweaks all over the codebase.

Wrote a quick “tutorial,” too, on how I set up a simple, webmention-enabled microblog using nothing but WordPress core and IndieBlocks.
