Been customizing my Aperture—a web feed aggregator and Microsub server—instance a bit, and the new OPML importer works a treat! Next up is getting Monocle—the web-based Microsub front end—to behave a bit more like Miniflux, my current main RSS reader.
Well, an RSS reader it isn’t, and that’s okay. It would, however, show a horizontal scroll bar—despite the `overflow-y: hidden` on the `html` element—on my phone, something I got rid of by removing the negative margin on the More button. (It’d also be _really_ cool if the reply field were a bit taller.)
And because the timeline doesn’t immediately update—the Microsub server has to first poll the feed—it’s pretty hard to do threads. (You could from you own site, through sharing to a native app.) In a way, though, that may be a good thing. It’s all a bit _slower_ than, e.g., Twitter.
@jan I would prefer an intent prefix like `micropub:`, and let the OS sort out what to do with it. Works great for `tel:` links and the venerable `mailto:`.
A bookmarklet would help, too, on the desktop, and even on mobile. Heck, WordPress has had this for years! (And I should totally dig it up again.) Or a “Share to Micropub” browser extension or something. I mean, I’m not convinced sharing from within a reader app is necessarily the best solution.
