"name": "Narwhal Microblog Plugin for WordPress: Quickly Posting Notes to your IndieWeb Site",
"content": {
"text": "This morning, after reading a brief, but interesting snippet in the IndieWeb WordPress chat from last night, David Shanske made me think about an old itch I had to have a quicker and more stripped down posting interface for notes on my website. I immediately thought of WordPress\u2019s P2 and 02 themes/products which had a built-in simple posting interface reminiscent of Twitter\u2019s UI.\u00a0\nNot wanting to wait to see what David might come up with before the next couple of IndieWebCamps, I thought I\u2019d at least do some research to see what was hiding in the good old WordPress repository. I found a few old plugins that were roughly the sort of idea I was looking for, but they were last maintained about 8-10 years ago.\u00a0\nThen I came across the Narwhal Microblogging plugin from Billy Wilcosky, which is being actively developed/maintained and has almost exactly what I\u2019m looking for!\nApparently the plugin itself had an early simple start before the developer came across Jon Smajda\u2019s plugin Posthaste which was apparently repurposed for the Prologue/P2 code that WordPress used for that product/theme. He\u2019s since rewritten a large chunk of it based on Posthaste\u2019s original code and added in some basic formatting options and the ability to add media, so one can post a quick note along with a photo.\nSettings for the plugin are hiding in Settings << Writing admin interface (or at the path /wp-admin/options-writing.php on your website) which includes the ability to choose which pages to display the \u201cwidget\u201d and allowing one to hide the title, tags, categories, draft seclector, one\u2019s Gravatar, and the Greeting and Links. I\u2019d personally pare my version down to just provide tags, categories, and the draft options to keep the interface as clean as possible.\nFinally the developer notes that within the user interface \u201cif you leave the \u2018Category:\u2019 box at its default setting it posts to your default category. However\u2026 If you have a category named \u2018asides\u2019, it will put posts with empty titles into the \u2018asides\u2019 category even if you do not explicitly specify the \u2018asides\u2019 category in the dropdown. You can then\u00a0style them as asides.\u201d\n\nThis is the view of the posting interface on my site after paring it down to my personal bare minimum.Benefits\nI\u2019ve already discussed some of the immediate benefits for easily and quickly posting directly from my own website. Just below I\u2019ll add a few others.\nMost importantly for me at the moment, the plugin works with the Classic Editor in WordPress. The interface also only shows up when one is logged into their website, so visitors won\u2019t ever see it.\nTitleless posts\nThe plugin automatically takes the first 40 characters of your note and posts that into the title field, so you don\u2019t have to bother with it. Sadly, this means that feed readers and other services will take your status updates and give them a title. (Though in the wild, most feed readers do something like this anyway. I am hearing strong rumors that Inoreader is about to have better support for social media-like posts soon.) For those using the plugin for IndieWeb use and prefer to keep their notes/asides/status updates titleless, you can spelunk into the code pretty easily and make a quick change which the developer kindly documents in his support page:\n\n\nBut, if you want to modify the title character limit it is easy to do.\nGo to this plugin\u2019s folder and open the narwhal-microblog.php file.\nIn this file you will see a line for this max character limit and you will see the number 40. You could just increase it to something like 100, 3500, or 999999. Depending on how long you are willing to let your titles get.\n\nIn my case, I think I\u2019ll just decrease the character limit to 0 and then rely on the Post Kinds plugin to add it\u2019s customary pseudo-title to the admin interface on my back end so that I can distinguish my posts in the posts pages.\nUI suggestions\nThe category chooser could be a little cleaner and provide a dropdown of all my pre-existing categories with the ability to select multiple ones. I suspect that somewhere in the WordPress universe there\u2019s a way to do this even if it means swiping a snippet of code from core\u2019s editor.\nThe basic text box for entering text could be a bit smaller on the page to accept 2-4 lines of text since it\u2019s meant for short posts. As it stands now, it defaults to 10, but it also smartly already has a slider that appears when you type more than the available number of lines and it also has a handle in the corner to allow you to increase the boxes size.\nI\u2019ve mentioned doing natively titleless notes above, but to make things a bit more user friendly, it would be nice to have the ability in the settings page to enter a number for the text excerpt, so that users could configure it without needing code. I suspect that most in the IndieWeb space would set the title excerpt to zero so as to not have titles on their notes.\nIt will take me some time to dig into it, but it would be nice if the developer had some notes about the CSS classes used in the plugin so that one might more easily style the display of the output on one\u2019s website. Fortunately the defaults to match one\u2019s current theme seem relatively solid.\nAt present, there isn\u2019t any UI for including syndication targets to external services like Twitter, Mastodon, etc. It would be nice if there was some tie into syndication services or functionality like that provided with Syndication Links plugin and brid.gy publish or brid.gy fed if those pieces are present.\nThe last dovetail that would be nice to have, particularly within an IndieWeb framing, would be to have better direct integration of this plugin with the Post Kinds plugin. This could extend to auto-setting the post kind to \u201cnote\u201d, which should in turn allow the automatic setting of Post Formats to either \u201cstatus\u201d or \u201caside\u201d.\nSummary\nIn sum, this plugin is really fantastic for allowing a simple and lightweight means of posting quick status updates or notes to one\u2019s WordPress website! It\u2019s the next best thing to using any of the variety of Micropub clients, particularly when you already happen to be at your own site.\nI suspect this plugin is the sort of thing that many within the IndieWeb and WordPress communities will love using\u2013and at least one person in the chat has already said they think it\u2019s a great find. There are currently less than 10 active installations of the plugin, but I think it deserves a magnitude or more. Let\u2019s see what we can do about that!\nHave you tried it? What do you think of the idea?\n\nSyndicated copies to: WordPress\n Twitter icon",

I immediately thought of WordPress\u2019s <a href=\"https://p2theme.com/\">P2</a> and <a href=\"https://geto2.com/\">02</a> themes/products which had a built-in simple posting interface reminiscent of Twitter\u2019s UI.\u00a0</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://i0.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Twitter-posting-UI.png?resize=840%2C468&ssl=1\" alt=\"Screencapture of Twitter's simple posting interface\" width=\"840\" height=\"468\" /></p><img src=\"https://i0.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Twitter-posting-UI.png?resize=840%2C468&ssl=1\" alt=\"Screencapture of Twitter's simple posting interface\" width=\"840\" height=\"468\" />\n<p>Not wanting to wait to see what David might come up with before the next couple of IndieWebCamps, I thought I\u2019d at least do some research to see what was hiding in the good old WordPress repository. I found a few old plugins that were roughly the sort of idea I was looking for, but they were last maintained about 8-10 years ago.\u00a0</p>\n<p>Then I came across the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/narwhal-microblog/\">Narwhal Microblogging plugin</a> from <a href=\"https://wilcosky.com/\">Billy Wilcosky</a>, which is being actively developed/maintained and has almost exactly what I\u2019m looking for!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://i0.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/narwhal-microblogging-plugin.png?resize=840%2C454&ssl=1\" alt=\"Screencapture of the Narwhal microblogging plugin user interface\" width=\"840\" height=\"454\" /></p><img src=\"https://i0.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/narwhal-microblogging-plugin.png?resize=840%2C454&ssl=1\" alt=\"Screencapture of the Narwhal microblogging plugin user interface\" width=\"840\" height=\"454\" />\n<p>Apparently the plugin itself had an early simple start before the developer came across Jon Smajda\u2019s plugin <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/posthaste/\">Posthaste</a> which was apparently repurposed for the Prologue/P2 code that WordPress used for that product/theme. He\u2019s since rewritten a large chunk of it based on Posthaste\u2019s original code and added in some basic formatting options and the ability to add media, so one can post a quick note along with a photo.</p>\n<p>Settings for the plugin are hiding in <code>Settings << Writing</code> admin interface (or at the path <code>/wp-admin/options-writing.php</code> on your website) which includes the ability to choose which pages to display the \u201cwidget\u201d and allowing one to hide the title, tags, categories, draft seclector, one\u2019s Gravatar, and the Greeting and Links. I\u2019d personally pare my version down to just provide tags, categories, and the draft options to keep the interface as clean as possible.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://i0.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Narwahl-settings.png?resize=775%2C449&ssl=1\" alt=\"Screencapture of the settings for the Narwhal plugin\" width=\"775\" height=\"449\" /></p><img src=\"https://i0.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Narwahl-settings.png?resize=775%2C449&ssl=1\" alt=\"Screencapture of the settings for the Narwhal plugin\" width=\"775\" height=\"449\" />\n<p>Finally the developer notes that within the user interface \u201cif you leave the \u2018Category:\u2019 box at its default setting it posts to your default category. <em>However\u2026 </em>If you have a category named \u2018asides\u2019, it will put posts with empty titles into the \u2018asides\u2019 category even if you do not explicitly specify the \u2018asides\u2019 category in the dropdown. You can then\u00a0<a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Asides\">style them as asides</a>.\u201d</p>\n<img src=\"https://i2.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/narwhal-pared-down.png?resize=837%2C306&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"837\" height=\"306\" /><img src=\"https://i2.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/narwhal-pared-down.png?resize=837%2C306&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"837\" height=\"306\" />\nThis is the view of the posting interface on my site after paring it down to my personal bare minimum.<h2>Benefits</h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve already discussed some of the immediate benefits for easily and quickly posting directly from my own website. Just below I\u2019ll add a few others.</p>\n<p>Most importantly for me at the moment, the plugin works with the Classic Editor in WordPress. The interface also only shows up when one is logged into their website, so visitors won\u2019t ever see it.</p>\n<h3>Titleless posts</h3>\n<p>The plugin automatically takes the first 40 characters of your note and posts that into the title field, so you don\u2019t have to bother with it. Sadly, this means that feed readers and other services will take your status updates and give them a title. (Though in the wild, most feed readers do something like this anyway. I am hearing <a href=\"https://boffosocko.com/2019/11/16/comparing-inoreaders-user-interface-for-their-internal-tweets-versus-rss-tweets/#comment-270816\">strong rumors</a> that Inoreader is about to have better support for social media-like posts soon.) For those using the plugin for <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/\">IndieWeb</a> use and prefer to keep their notes/asides/status updates titleless, you can spelunk into the code pretty easily and make a quick change which the developer kindly documents in his support page:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\nBut, if you want to modify the title character limit it is easy to do.</p>\n<ol><li>Go to this plugin\u2019s folder and open the narwhal-microblog.php file.</li>\n<li>In this file you will see a line for this max character limit and you will see the number 40. You could just increase it to something like 100, 3500, or 999999. Depending on how long you are willing to let your titles get.</li>\n</ol></blockquote>\n<p>In my case, I think I\u2019ll just decrease the character limit to 0 and then rely on the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb-post-kinds/\">Post Kinds plugin</a> to add it\u2019s customary pseudo-title to the admin interface on my back end so that I can distinguish my posts in the posts pages.</p>\n<h2>UI suggestions</h2>\n<p>The category chooser could be a little cleaner and provide a dropdown of all my pre-existing categories with the ability to select multiple ones. I suspect that somewhere in the WordPress universe there\u2019s a way to do this even if it means swiping a snippet of code from core\u2019s editor.</p>\n<p>The basic text box for entering text could be a bit smaller on the page to accept 2-4 lines of text since it\u2019s meant for short posts. As it stands now, it defaults to 10, but it also smartly already has a slider that appears when you type more than the available number of lines and it also has a handle in the corner to allow you to increase the boxes size.</p>\n<p>I\u2019ve mentioned doing natively titleless notes above, but to make things a bit more user friendly, it would be nice to have the ability in the settings page to enter a number for the text excerpt, so that users could configure it without needing code. I suspect that most in the IndieWeb space would set the title excerpt to zero so as to not have titles on their notes.</p>\n<p>It will take me some time to dig into it, but it would be nice if the developer had some notes about the CSS classes used in the plugin so that one might more easily style the display of the output on one\u2019s website. Fortunately the defaults to match one\u2019s current theme seem relatively solid.</p>\n<p>At present, there isn\u2019t any UI for including syndication targets to external services like Twitter, Mastodon, etc. It would be nice if there was some tie into syndication services or functionality like that provided with <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/syndication-links/\">Syndication Links plugin</a> and brid.gy publish or brid.gy fed if those pieces are present.</p>\n<p>The last dovetail that would be nice to have, particularly within an IndieWeb framing, would be to have better direct integration of this plugin with the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb-post-kinds/\">Post Kinds plugin</a>. This could extend to auto-setting the post kind to \u201cnote\u201d, which should in turn allow the automatic setting of Post Formats to either \u201cstatus\u201d or \u201caside\u201d.</p>\n<h2>Summary</h2>\n<p>In sum, this plugin is really fantastic for allowing a simple and lightweight means of posting quick status updates or notes to one\u2019s WordPress website! It\u2019s the next best thing to using any of the <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/Micropub/Clients\">variety of Micropub clients</a>, particularly when you already happen to be at your own site.</p>\n<p>I suspect this plugin is the sort of thing that many within the IndieWeb and WordPress communities will love using\u2013and at least one person in the chat has already said they think it\u2019s a great find. There are currently less than 10 active installations of the plugin, but I think it deserves a magnitude or more. Let\u2019s see what we can do about that!</p>\n<p>Have you tried it? What do you think of the idea?</p>\n\n<span>Syndicated copies to:</span><ul><li><a class=\"u-syndication\" href=\"https://chrisaldrich.wordpress.com/?p=55686929\"> WordPress</a></li>\n<li><a class=\"u-syndication\" href=\"https://twitter.com/ChrisAldrich/status/1197247608340697088\"> <span style=\"max-width:1rem;margin:2px;\" title=\"twitter\">Twitter icon</span></a></li>\n</ul>"
