<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>

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.

<p>This plugin is based on the idea and code of <a href="https://snarfed.org/indieweb-press-this-bookmarklets-for-wordpress" rel="nofollow ugc">@snarfed</a>:</p>
<p>It requires the Press This plugin for WordPress with Bookmarklet support as of WordPress 4.9, when Press This was removed from WordPress.</p>
<p>One big <a href="https://indieweb.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a> <em>raison d’être</em> is using your own web site to <a href="https://indieweb.org/reply" rel="nofollow ugc">reply</a>,<br />
<a href="https://indieweb.org/like" rel="nofollow ugc">like</a>, <a href="https://indieweb.org/repost" rel="nofollow ugc">repost</a>, <a href="https://indieweb.org/follow" rel="nofollow ugc">follow</a>,<br />
and <a href="https://indieweb.org/rsvp" rel="nofollow ugc">RSVP</a> to posts and events. You do this by annotating links on your site with simple <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2" rel="nofollow ugc">microformats2</a> HTML.</p>
<p>Having said that, most people don’t want to write HTML to like or reply to something. WordPress’s <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Press_This" rel="nofollow ugc">Press This bookmarklets</a> can already start a new post with a link to the page you’re currently viewing. This code adds IndieWeb microformats2 markup to that link. Combined the <a href="https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-webmention" rel="nofollow ugc">wordpress-webmention</a> plugin, you can use this to respond to the current page with just two clicks.</p>
<p>What’s more, if you’re currently on a Facebook post or Twitter tweet, this adds the <a href="https://www.brid.gy/about#publish" rel="nofollow ugc">Bridgy Publish</a> link that will reply, like, favorite, retweet, or even RSVP <em>inside</em> those social networks.</p>
