It's great. I love it. But it's mostly a one way experience, publishing only.The spec does define ways to query and update specific posts, but they are generally not implemented by very many clients - perhaps because they are more complex to design and develop or perhaps because it's not the most useful thing.Increase in usageRecently we've also seen a couple of large projects add Micropub support in iA Writer and Thread Reader. Which is awesome, but I think if queries become more mainstream there is the potential for much better apps and a more convincing reason for Micropub to be integrated into more existing apps.QueriesProposals for Micropub Queries have been around for a while without a huge amount of movement. Maybe it's a chicken and egg type scenario, if no clients add support, then why add support to your site?Existing examplesI've made a couple of things that use queries myself. My chatbot can query posts (although it's not very useful) and Together has a useful view of your published posts as well, and Indigenous for Android also can show a basic list of your published posts.But for me all those examples are fairly basic, and there is a lot of potential for more powerful and compelling experiences.A vision of the futureThere are so many possibilities for super useful experiences for Micropub Queries that I'm just going to list off a bunch of things I can think of:Readers could check if you have already liked, bookmarked, replied etc. to a url\nApps like indiebookclub could query for books you have already read, or even track your reading progress\nSave drafts to your own site and then edit and publish them from a Micropub client\nFull admin UIs like the WordPress admin menu or Publii (recently mentioned in the IndieWeb chat) could support Micropub with the ability to query for drafts, trash, different post types etc.\nFind your last location by querying the last post with a location included\nGallery posting apps that can query for already created photos like best nine\n\nCollection apps that can find existing posts\nSearch your own posts via the API\nCreate generic sites just using the Micropub Query API, eg. checkin views are hard, an app could query your site and generate a nice UI for you\nThere are so many more that I've thought of and forgotten or that I've not though of yet.Although there are plenty of nice, usable apps on the Indieweb I still think we are missing a next level experience to really highlight the power and potential of Indieweb technologies, maybe Micropub Queries could help bring that about...",

I had to spin up a Debian Sarge<a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fn2\">2</a>, because I needed PHP4 - <strong>immeasurable kudos for the Debian archives<a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fn3\">3</a> for still having install CDs, and working software repositories!</strong> The only trick is that during the install the apt mirror needs to be set to <code>archive.debian.org</code>.</p>\n<p>I barely remembered this version. It also made me realize that I was microblogging, before it even became a term - although as Kevin Marks<a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fn4\">4</a> pointed it out on the <code>indieweb-chat</code> channel on Freenode, everyone was microblogging at first: the idea of one page per entry came later.</p>\n<p>After not too much digging I found two more phone reviews, also with a lot of background content - in case you're after an 50KB mobile Java email application, I have one for you.</p>\n<img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2004.jpg\" title=\"2004.jpg\" alt=\"2004 - the layout probably worked in IE5 and nothing else\" />\n    2004 - the layout probably worked in IE5 and nothing else\n<p>Instead of webrings, in Hungary, we regularly exchanged banners with eachother: small images, that linked to another site; sort of a graphical blogroll.

In the coming years my site slowly morphed into a portfolio for my photos and my sysadmining skills. When I finally reverted, and swapped from curated, small galleries to a stream of individual images, I never put the old portfolio back. This will need to be addressed.</p>\n<p>Related to this, I came across Ana's \"Blogging and me\" post at <a href=\"https://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/\">https://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/</a> . She went through very similar cycles as I did: a website first, blogging of anything, that gradually became a hyper-focused, work-only site, which then got neglected, because it wasn't fun any more. Read it. If you didn't (yet) had these cycles, or if you already did; in both cases, it's a fantastic piece.</p>\n<a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2007_large.jpg\"><img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2007.jpg\" title=\"2007.jpg\" alt=\"Such design, much images.

At that point, I still believed my life will have something to do with photography, so I made a photo portfolio site under the new domain <code>petermolnar.eu</code>. My name is quite a common one in Hungary, but the <code>.eu</code> domains were new, and I grabbed it immediately.</p>\n<p>During these years I actively participated in an alternative community in Hungary. I wrote some articles to their site, which are still up, to this very day, but the idea to put those on my own site (as well) didn't occur to me.</p>\n<p>In 2010 , the limitations of my CMS collided with the fact that I lost touch with most people who had some content on that community site. I decided to close it, and turn my full attention towards a personal site - by switching it to WordPress.</p>\n<p>Soon after college (2009), I ended up working as a sysadmin; it made sense to start writing my findings, my how-tos (mostly for myself) down.</p>\n<p>With that, I've thrown a silly amount of old content away. No thoughts or personal blog entries any more: streamlined photo portfolio, photo equiment review - <em>this one never even took off; the 2 entries I wrote for it are so low quality that they were not worth salvaging</em> -, and a sysadmin blog is the way to go! I should never have done that, but these were the early Facebook years; everyone was doing personal communication in social silos. It seemed like a good idea that time. Mea culpa.</p>\n<p>I did try cross-posting and syndicating early on: links to new entries to twitter, to facebook, but soon it looked overwhelming. When the same content goes everywhere, and you happend to have a large cross-section of the same people on each silo, it'll be too much for them.</p>\n<img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2010.jpg\" title=\"2010.jpg\" alt=\"First iteration of my very own WordPress theme - along with the immeasurable changes of finally moving to my own domain, with only professional-ish content\" />\n    First iteration of my very own WordPress theme - along with the immeasurable changes of finally moving to my own domain, with only professional-ish content\n<p>Slowly, but steadily, topics and sections kept creeping back in. At first, it was merely a <code>photoblog</code> tab, in which I put collection of images grouped by a topic. It took me a while to realize I didn't like it that way: without context, the galleries were distant; they didn't feel like memories, more like and extended, endless portfolio, yet I kept going with it for years.</p>\n<img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2011.jpg\" title=\"2011.jpg\" alt=\"Second WordPress theme from somewhere in 2011\" />\n    Second WordPress theme from somewhere in 2011\n<p>By the end of 2013, I was back to having a \"world view\" section that was to become \"journal\".

To see how it started, how it done, when it was solely for the fun. Ana's post, which I already mentioned<a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fn9\">9</a> was definitely a trigger to take this journey.</p>\n<p>I lost the first two designs. I remember the very first vividly, with the water-like repeating background. The second I completely forgot about, and only had some reminders in words, from a microblog entry, from 2001, when I was being happy replacing it with something fresh and new.</p>\n<p>My conclusions are simple: your homepage is called that for a reason. It's a poster, a gallery, a window to you, out for anyone to visit, to see. Show everything; show all the topics you're interested in, drag all the posts from decades ago, and only police the ones that are truly outdated - if there are any. It's not a social media profile. It's not a resume. It's you.</p>\n\n\n<ol><li><p><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Hungary\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Hungary</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref1\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.0_r6/i386/iso-cd/\">https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.0_r6/i386/iso-cd/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref2\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/\">https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref3\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"http://www.kevinmarks.com/\">http://www.kevinmarks.com/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref4\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"http://www.csillagkapu.hu/\">http://www.csillagkapu.hu/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref5\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"http://www.csillagkapu.hu/img/agbanner.gif\">http://www.csillagkapu.hu/img/agbanner.gif</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref6\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/4.0_r0/i386/iso-cd/\">https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/4.0_r0/i386/iso-cd/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref7\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://indieweb.org/\">https://indieweb.org/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref8\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/\">https://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref9\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n</ol>",

It didn't work.\nAnd thus we arrived to 2020, and you're looking at the freshest, most current iteration of my website.\nConclusions\nI think at the beginning I started to dig my sites up to verify how much have I gone back to my roots. To see how it started, how it done, when it was solely for the fun. Ana's post, which I already mentioned9 was definitely a trigger to take this journey.\nI lost the first two designs. I remember the very first vividly, with the water-like repeating background. The second I completely forgot about, and only had some reminders in words, from a microblog entry, from 2001, when I was being happy replacing it with something fresh and new.\nMy conclusions are simple: your homepage is called that for a reason. It's a poster, a gallery, a window to you, out for anyone to visit, to see. Show everything; show all the topics you're interested in, drag all the posts from decades ago, and only police the ones that are truly outdated - if there are any. It's not a social media profile. It's not a resume. It's you.\n\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Hungary\u21a9\nhttps://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.0_r6/i386/iso-cd/\u21a9\nhttps://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/\u21a9\nhttp://www.kevinmarks.com/\u21a9\nhttp://www.csillagkapu.hu/\u21a9\nhttp://www.csillagkapu.hu/img/agbanner.gif\u21a9\nhttps://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/4.0_r0/i386/iso-cd/\u21a9\nhttps://indieweb.org/\u21a9\nhttps://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/\u21a9"
