@paulrobertlloyd have you written up anything about your workflow for https://paulrobertlloyd.com/photos/ ?
@hans No, because it’s horribly manual at the moment. I was using Micro.blog’s apps, but v3.0 broke a number of things, while other bits of it keep breaking. I’d like for it to be easier to post from the Indiekit interface. In 2023 I made it possible, in 2024 I’d like to make it easy. Things still missing include the ability to upload a file from the new post page and providing options to resize and optimise an image prior to saving to a content store.
@paulrobertlloyd once IndieKit can send media elsewhere (e.g. CDN) I think the server side of posting will be great. But I miss something like Drafts on macOS for helping me go from “this poorly-tagged photo in my huge library" to a nice asset+metadata upload. :-|
@paulrobertlloyd I'm curious about even your structure for storing the assets and meta in your source repo, though. Just because you seem to think like I do and are using similar tools!
@hans Oh, I’ve been meaning to write about that, and have a long draft about the different media storage options I considered. Maybe it’s time for me to polish and publish that screed!
@paulrobertlloyd …and before I go ahead and make ill-considered choices 😆
