PADD: Some new features!
Aaron Crowder

I've been working on PADD publicly for about a week now. Before that I was hacking on the individual parts (indieauth, micropub, etc.) but I was finally able to put them together in a fun UI and reading from a Microsub server. It was something I threw together while waiting for the results of medical tests on my partner. Something I did to take my mind off the stress. It's quickly become one of my favorite projects!

This is a test of the PADD new post capability that I'm building. If you're seeing this post then that means it worked 🎉

Introducing PADD

Today I had a few hours to kill with my partner in the ER. She's okay, I promise! It wasn't the way we wanted to spend our Friday, but it gave me time to hack on something I've been toying with for a while. I give you: PADD.

  1. lcars html rendering tool

IndieWeb.ink

This is a screenshoot of a test I did of indieweb.ink. It's a new #IndieWeb tool for creating and remixing photos. You login with your domain, upload a picture you want to share on your site for your visitors to remix (think coloring pages, but really... anything should work!), and then embed the iFrame on your website!

Then your visitors can color on the page, download it, or even click "Publish" to login with their own website and publish it (using micropub) to their site!

I'm not quite ready to launch it (thinking maybe next weekend!), but I'll be sure to share regular updates this week.

I’m building something similar to the original Aaron of IndieWeb as IndieNews and I’m really excited about it. Hoping to have something to share in a couple weeks!
