I think the marketing for this new theme missed its mark. Dave thinks this is a new short-form blogging app when it’s really just a new theme. I was able to post to it from WordLand with no issues. It’s still a regular WordPress.com website. This is just a new theme built in a week by two devs as part of Radical Speed Month.
This is why they should have seeded developers. š
I’ll check it out right now. This is good news.
The question is what does it do with any links or styles, titles? does the timeline reflect editing changes?
The frontend text box for now seems very simple. Capped at 500 characters, auto-detects urls and auto sets the title to the start of the content (default WordPress behavior).
If you go under WordPress Settings > Writing and enable “Use Markdown for posts and pages.” you can use markdown in your posts from the frontend.
how do i see a timeline? can i follow you somehow? i haven’t even had the time to go into it to that basic level.
You can check out my test site at https://hooplasocial.wordpress.com/ and out of the box you just follow it with RSS. It’s a free plan, so I don’t think I can turn on ActivityPub. There is no aggregator built into the theme, but WordPress has its own “reader” app.
