Setup

My current website is built with Kirby.

Previously I'd a custom built CMS using PHP and MySQL for interactions and short-form content. There also included a separately-maintained blog using Jekyll.

Posting

I've customised the CMS for short-form posts, photos, bookmarks, likes and check-ins. This also facilitates sending and syndication to other platforms including Twitter.

On my old website posting via Micropub was possible for a select range of use cases including short-form text or photo posts, check-ins via OwnYourSwarm and Instagram via OwnYourGram. Work is in progress to have similar features on my Kirby built website.

The posting interface provides a target URL field which allows for sending Webmentions to other websites or platforms like Twitter via Bridgy support.

Skills

I'm most experienced and comfortable with the following skills and technologies:

HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Vanilla/ES6+ and some VueJs), some PHP
