With Ekster I have almost implemented the full protocol of Microsub. What is next? What more is possible with the protocol, the servers or the clients?

Specific inputs:

  • microformats from websites
  • Feeds (implemented) RSS, JSON feed, XML
  • Micropub posting (implemented) so other services can post messages Example: Pipedream receives email and posts as item
  • API's for specific websites
  • Saved search

Processing and filtering:

  • Exclude posts with regex (implemented)
  • Exclude posts based on post-type-discovery (implemented)
  • Improve post content
  • Advanced processing with user-defined flows (like Huginn?)

Specific outputs:

  • Global and channel search (implemented)
  • Standard feed reader (implemented)
  • Share to your own website (micropub likes, bookmarks, and replies)
  • Share to other services (Instapaper)
  • Notifications

What else?
