Two parts: Viewer and Publisher | |
Viewer | |
GET /posts of type Essay (https://tent.io/types/post/essay/v0.1.0) | |
Is notified when a new Essay is POSTed | |
Displays them as a blog | |
Publisher | |
A minimal blogging tool, perhaps along the lines of Svbtle | |
Log in with a Tent entity | |
When user publishes, an Essay is POSTed to the Tent server | |
Notes | |
Viewer and Publisher are not actually related, but it might be useful to bundle them. | |
A photo picker could consist solely of GET /posts of type Photo (https://tent.io/types/post/photo/v0.1.0). If user has an Instagram app installed, then Instagram photos will show up. When they install a Flickr app, Flickr photos will show up, etc. | |
Blog posts could be cross-posted to other networks (Twitter, Facebook, Google +, etc.) via other apps listening for Essays. | |
Questions | |
Would password-less login be possible? | |
Should syndication formats (RSS, Atom...) be built-in or left to a separate app? |

Nice. The viewer could also let people leave comments. For now they could be Status posts that mention the id if the parent post; eventually there might be a Comment post type.
To display comments you'd have to find all the Status posts that mention your Essay. Since they mention one of your posts they should have been sent to your server so they should be in GET /posts.
