Gist is a handy tool that allows you to save version controlled short snippets of code, and even cooler, to embed that code elsewhere.
Idno will automatically display embed code for certain links (images and youtube videos for example), so I thought it’d be cool if you could do this with gist links as well.
So I wrote a plugin. Enjoy!
Pushover.net is a service that allows you to send popup notifications to your iPhone, iPad or Android device via calls to a simple API.
I wanted a notification whenever someone left me a comment or webmention on my idno site, so I put together a plugin that does just that!
Install and activate the Pushover plugin on your idno site, and then create an application for your site on Pushover.net, via their admin panel.
Once you have done this, go back to your idno site and configure the plugin via your user settings page, putting the application and user API keys in the appropriate boxes.
Hit save, and you should now get popup notifications whenever a new comment is left!
Idno was primarily built around the idea of distributed commenting, that is, when replying to a post written on someone else’s blog you’d actually write your reply on your own site, and then send a webmention.
This works well, but since many people are still trapped in legacy silo platforms like Facebook or Google+, it’d be nice if they could have a way to join in the discussion. So, I put together a quick plugin which provides traditional commenting functionality.
This plugin, once installed and activated, will provide comments for logged in and logged out users. At the moment it’s pretty basic, but hopefully I’ll add spam filtering, moderation and gravatar support soon.
