Add Microformats to bookmarks

Open bouncepaw opened this issue 1 year ago • 13 comments

Microformats are a way to mark up some parts of the web page so they can be handled programmatically nicely. IndieWeb uses them a lot.

I am actually a developer of a project similar to Postmarks, Betula, and it supports reposting of arbitrary bookmarking websites if they support bookmark-related microformats. Turned out, Postmarks doesn't have them! At least, I didn't see them on the two instances I checked.

I suggest introducing microformats2 to the project. Betula and IndieWeb compatibility with just a few CSS classes!

For reference, you can see what microformats I used: https://git.sr.ht/~bouncepaw/betula/tree/master/item/web/views/post.gohtml https://git.sr.ht/~bouncepaw/betula/tree/master/item/web/views/post-fragment.gohtml
