Every time I'm tempted to switch back to an iPhone, I'm reminded by the terrible home screen and then I run back to Android.

Why all that complexity? There are three pieces to this - the Git repo of the website itself, the micropub endpoint, and the publishing app. I can change any of them and the system should still work. This will be most useful with other Micropub posting clients, none of which need to know how the publishing bit specific to my site works.

How I created that post:
- I built and deployed my own Micropub endpoint with GitLab CI and Docker
- I logged into Indigenous for Android with my website via PGP in IndieAuth
- I created the post in Indigenous
- Indigenous found my Micropub endpoint on my site and sent it the post
- My custom Micropub endpoint cloned the repo, created the post text file and uploaded image, committed that, and pushed it
- My GitLab CI saw the change and rebuilt and deployed my website

Photo posts are working through Micropub! 🎉 https://stevestreza.com/photos/2018/09/20/the-sounders-may-hav/

Got super close to having photo post creation working but ran out of time. Should be able to finish it without much more work though.

I came here to make websites but instead I'm fighting with TypeScript :(

First stop tonight, the Homebrew Website Club, working on adding Micropub-powered photo posting to my website! https://indieweb.org/events/2018-09-19-homebrew-website-club

I think it's time for Apple to decouple the Apple Watch from needing an iPhone, if only because of its growing list of features that serve as a guardian of its wearer's health. https://stevestreza.com/2018/09/19/separating-apple-watch-as-a-public-health-good/

Upgraded from FIFA 17 to FIFA 19, was real excited to see the Sounders get some of their fight songs and the flame cannons.

I know MLS has never been a hot league that gets treated very seriously, either in the US or internationally, so seeing my boys get some real treatment was great to see.

The "stories" format should become a thing in the fediverse and in the IndieWeb. I want to build that for my site for sure.

Crowdfunding people, on the other hand, is a fantastic use of money and something that literally everyone in tech with disposable income should be doing.

The iPhone XS Max everyone raced out to buy costs $1200 after tax here, or roughly $100/month. If all those people gave $100/month to illustrators or musicians or poets or activists or game makers, the world would be a much brighter place.

I think I'm done crowdfunding projects where I expect to receive a thing (especially video games).

- launch day is almost always inundated with problems (hi Bard's Tale IV)
- my enthusiasm for the thing wanes quickly, sometimes completely
- delays ALWAYS happen and they always sting, if they ship at all
- your PII is sold to lowest-bidder fulfillment companies
- in the best case, you get a good thing long after you paid for it

I'll just buy the thing when it comes out.

My website is my password, verify me.

Plan for tomorrow:
- Homebrew Website Club
- Sounders game

I have obtained the first Chaos Emerald

Hi I have been stuck on a tarmac in Phoenix for two hours https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_otherdis.jsp?advn=70&adv_date=09162018&facId=PHX/ZAB&title=CDM%20GROUND%20STOP&titleDate=09/16/18
