I’ve had a /feeds page for a while, but it was only linked to from my About page. I now added a link in the footer as well. While at it, I also added a link to my “article-only feed” to my site’s head, for easier discovery by (certain) feed readers. I have IndieBlocks set […]

Been moving some of IndieBlocks meta boxes to the Gutenberg “document sidebar panel,” at least locally.
As you know by now, Gutenberg can act “weird” when classic meta boxes are present, so I’m trying to get rid of them. (Obviously, this doesn’t mean IndieBlocks users can’t have other plugins installed that add them.)
Unfortunately, managing meta “Gutenberg-only” is often a bit of a challenge as well … Like, if in the background, a server process updates a custom field, the block editor may be out of sync. Press “Update,” and, well, “Oops.”
Anyhoo, I’m now also considering a separate IndieBlocks sidebar panel. Kinda like Jetpack’s (if I remember correctly). May move Share on Mastodon/Pixelfed’s panel thingies there, too—if IndieBlocks is active, of course.

One of the reasons (I think) I resorted to using “bookmarks” rather than “quotations” for annotating (links to) others’ pages, is that Aperture’s “post discovery algorithm” did not seem to support the latter.
Which led me to assume Monocle wouldn’t display a link or context for quotations. But it seems it does.
(I’ve stopped using Aperture/Monocle quite some time ago.)
Either way, I don’t think this is super important right now. Could be I end up adding a Quotation block to IndieBlocks.
Or maybe Gutenberg should finally make it possible to reliably add inline classes to

I released a new version of IndieBlocks, v0.12.0. It’s got improved support for “comment” source URLs.
So if you send a mention and its source URL points to a (WordPress) comment—or any hypothetical CMS that uses a similar URL scheme—IndieBlocks will now attempt to parse (only) that comment, rather than the main post.
Another thing, which could potentially mess up your site’s layout, is I removed top margin from any element that directly follows a hidden (note) title.

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):<?phpadd_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 );
