Shock

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

Shock is what Jacky Alciné uses to combine his use of Micropub and Webmention services. It uses Tera, a Jinja-like templating language in Rust for rendering themes. The project is still in an alpha state and is not ready for people not familiar with deploying Rust applications.

Features

• Presents contents using a theme for notes, articles, replies and bookmarks.

Planned

• Rendering on multiple feed types
  • AS2
  • Atom (and RSS)
  • Generating OPML representing all the site's feeds
• Provide better support for presenting photos, rsvp, edits, events, videos, audio, read-of posts, listen-of posts, gameplay, code snippets, purchases and collections
• in-browser editing of themes
• Swapping themes on-demand
• Guest sign-in using IndieAuth
• Implementing private posts support
• Search functionality
• Real-time updates from Micropub servers
• Freezing posts
• Template tag for generating Open Graph Protocol-friendly and Twitter metadata
• Custom data fetching using Lua scripts to render on the site
• Based on the Host header, switch the destination to serve
• Shows Webmention and WebSub endpoint information on pages that enable it tracked at git.jacky.wtf]
• Add basis of groups tracked at git.jacky.wtf
• Expose the Tor address of a URI using Onion-Location in the headers and HTML, when available, tracked at git.jacky.wtf

Webmention and WebSub Endpoint Showing

Since Shock is a Micropub client, it has no insight into the details of one's Micropub design. The heuristic used to determine if a Webmention endpoint will be shown is as follows:

• if the resource does not have the property 'notifications', show the endpoint
• if it does have the property…
  • if the value has the value 'webmention', show the WebSub endpoint to let people when it gets updated
  • if the value has the value 'websub', show the WebSub endpoint to allow incoming Webmentions

NodeInfo Reporting

I'd like to emit NodeInfo information on my site to help non-IndieWeb entities understand what I use in a machine-friendly way. I'll aim to support the 2.1 version first, then work backwards.

Content Removal

Shock's built to conform to any Micropub server but it's optimized as a testing client of sorts for Koype. The UX and logic provided in Shock is modeled around Koype's approach for allowing people to remove their content from one's site.
