<p>Shortnotes adds a custom post type, <strong>Notes</strong>, used to publish short pieces of content on your website, similar to social networks like Mastodon, Twitter, or Instagram.</p>
<h3>No titles</h3>
<p>The <strong>Notes</strong> post type does not support traditional titles.</p>
<p>Note titles are <strong>not</strong> generally meant to be displayed as part of the theme layout. You will likely need to adjust the look and feel of your theme accordingly. See the Theme Customization section below for more details.</p>
<p>A title <strong>is</strong> generated automatically from note content and is used as the note’s document title. This is readable by search engines and displayed in browser tabs.</p>
<h3>Limited blocks</h3>
<p>The <strong>Notes</strong> post type supports basic content blocks like paragraph, list, quote, image, preformatted text, gallery, video, and embed. Using a defined list of relatively simple blocks helps to keep notes simple.</p>
<h3>Webmention support</h3>
<p>The <strong>Notes</strong> post type includes support for the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/" rel="ugc">Webmention</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/semantic-linkbacks/" rel="ugc">Semantic-Linkbacks</a> plugins.</p>
<p>URLs in note content are processed as possible <a href="https://indieweb.org/webmention" rel="nofollow ugc">webmentions</a>.</p>
<p>A panel in the block editor allows for the addition of a reply to URL and name. When entered, they are used to provide markup for a semantic webmention <a href="https://indieweb.org/reply" rel="nofollow ugc">reply</a>.</p>
<h4>Reply to template tag</h4>
<p>The <a href="https://indieweb.org/reply" rel="nofollow ugc">reply</a> specification works best when the <code>u-in-reply-to</code> element is outside of the <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry#Properties" rel="nofollow ugc">main content element</a>, defined by <code>e-content</code>.</p>
<p>A template tag is provided as part of the Shortnotes plugin that can be used to output reply to markup in your theme.</p>
<pre><code><article class="h-entry">
    <?php
    if ( function_exists( 'ShortNotes\PostType\Note\reply_to_markup' ) ) {
        \ShortNotes\PostType\Note\reply_to_markup();
    }
    ?>
    <div class="entry-content e-content">
        <?php the_content(); ?>
    </div>
</article>
</code></pre>
<p>If this template tag is <strong>not</strong> used, then the Shortnotes plugin will automatically prepend the reply to markup to <code>the_content</code>.</p>
<h3>Theme Customization</h3>
<p>No customization of your theme is required to use this plugin, though you will likely want to think through how titles are displayed and if you want full support for webmentions.</p>
<p>If you do find yourself wanting to customize, I have made <a href="https://github.com/jeremyfelt/writemore/" rel="nofollow ugc">my site’s theme</a> fully compatible while developing this plugin. It may be a helpful example.</p>

Shortnotes

I love these indieweb type plugins, especially where hey break out indieweb types into their own cpt, this is a much better approach of using post for everything

Great plugin

Add a notes post type to WordPress. For your short notes.

IndieWeb

<p>The IndieWeb Plugin for WordPress helps you establish your IndieWeb identity by extending the user profile to provide <a href="https://indieweb.org/rel-me" rel="nofollow ugc">rel-me</a> and<br />
<a href="https://indieweb.org/h-card" rel="nofollow ugc">h-card</a> fields and optionally adding widgets to display this. It also includes a bundled installer for a core set of IndieWeb-related plugins. It’s<br />
meant to be a one-stop shop to help WordPress users quickly and easily join the growing <a href="https://indieweb.org" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a> movement (see below).</p>
<p>Some of these plugins allow you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>send and receive comments, likes, reposts, and other kinds of post responses using your own site</li>
<li>allow comments on others’ sites to show up as comments on your posts</li>
<li>help make IndieWeb comments and mentions look better on your site</li>
<li>allow support for webmentions</li>
<li>add location support to your posts</li>
<li>more easily syndicate your content to other sites to take advantage of network effects and other communities while still owning all of your original content</li>
<li>link to syndicated versions of a post so that comments on your content in silos like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram can come back to your original post as comments there</li>
<li>set up a MicroPub Server to use other posting interfaces. (You could potentially use services like Instagram, Foursquare, and others to post to your WordPress site.)</li>
<li>Use your site to log into other services with <a href="https://indieweb.org/indieauth" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieAuth</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The IndieWeb</h3>
<p><strong>The <a href="https://indieweb.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a> is a people-focused alternative to the ‘corporate web’ that allows you to be the hub of your own web presence.</strong> It’s been written about in <a href="http://www.wired.com/2013/08/indie-web/" rel="nofollow ugc">Wired</a>, <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/08/the-new-editors-of-the-internet/378983/" rel="nofollow ugc">The Atlantic</a>, <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/25/indiewebcamps_create_tools_for_a_new_internet.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Slate</a>, and <a href="https://gigaom.com/2014/09/03/dont-like-facebook-owning-and-controlling-your-content-use-tools-that-support-the-open-web/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gigaom</a> amongst others.</p>
<h3>The IndieWeb, like WordPress, feels that your content is yours</h3>
<p>When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.</p>
<h3>The IndieWeb is here to help you be better connected</h3>
<p>Your articles and status messages can be syndicated to all services, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone in your social network/social graph. Even replies and likes on other services can come back to your site so they’re all in one place.</p>
<p>Interested in connecting your WordPress site to the <a href="https://indieweb.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a>? Let us help you get started.</p>


A totally unappreciated plugin

Nice job on this David. Thanks for all your hard work.
