I managed to work a little on Saorsa this evening, for the first time in a while. Mostly working on the markup of the comments, and adding little accessibility and microformat improvements where I can. I’m really trying not to put arbitrary timelines on things, but I’d like to have the skeleton HTML mostly locked down in time for IndieWeb Summit 2019. Whether that’s achievable will be determined by how much more I can get done over the weekend.
I’ve started using my new(ish) test site to build my new IndieWeb WordPress theme. It’s very early in the process, and I’m getting the markup in place first, before I go anywhere near a stylesheet – so it all looks very 1996 right now.
The lessons learned on “K” will be put into use with this theme, along with several ideas I’ve picked up along the way. I’ve already reused some of the more useful bits of K to give me a head-start, so I know that stuff like the feed and post microformats should be pretty robust (if not yet 100% complete). The main improvement I want to make over K is in flexibility – i.e. it’s not just usable by me, or locks me/the user into a particular setup.
If there is anything you would like to see in an IndieWeb WordPress theme, or any other suggestions, please file an issue in the repository. I can’t promise I’ll implement it, but at this stage, the chances are high 😉
