The first thing to know is that all comments are blog posts. You write the comment on a blog that you own. And maybe that will be the only way anyone other than you will ever see it. But you don’t have to “go” to the blog to write the comment. You stay right where you are.
I’m not the brightest bulb in the box but I’m extremely curious to know how Dave is going to pull this all together. I’d wager to be that RSS is at the center of it, but how? 🤔
Excited to see what he’s putting together and understand how I can do this with my blog. Knowing how Manton – the author of Micro.blog – operates he’ll adopt this set of protocols or files or whatever Dave comes up with. It will be very nice to have for a lot of folks and to see how it interoperates with whatever Dave is building.
Feature request for Manton when/if he supports this. Please add a special post type to themes so we can choose to put them on the front page of our blog or, perhaps, add a way to keep them in a special place like you do with old Twitter posts? Maybe? 🤔 Or, perhaps do something really cool with the template so there is a connection established on the page with a reference back to the original post. I’m not doing a very good job of explaining this, but Silvio Rizzi did a great job with Reeder.
