Finishing off yesterday’s batch of Starbuck’s breakfast blend.

Tell me what you dream of seeing in WordPress, whether your jokes or your most serious hopes, I'm not making product decisions so this doesn't constitute a promise, I just want to hear about it and get my brain back into that mode again :)
— Helen 侯-Sandí (@helenhousandi) September 8, 2020This is sort of tangental, but I'd love a form of the mobile app that acted exactly like Instagram, but posted to a WordPress blog.
— topher1kenobe (@topher1kenobe) September 9, 2020Pretty much. Maybe category. I've always imagined a single pic, rather than many. So I take the pic, put in title, optional desc, optional category, and hit send. If you want to get fancy you could use a Setting to use a custom post type instead of Post, but that's gravy.

This is a great use case for Micropub clients and there are a few that will do this already. Try the Micropub plugin along with Quill: https://quill.p3k.io for a minimal UI photo post using note (it should default to use the last photo you took too.)
For more details look at Micropub and WordPress: Custom Posting Applications. It uses the W3C Micropub recommended spec and most of the current clients are open source if anyone wants to build their own web or mobile interfaces.
Sunlit for iOS is a Micropub compatible app that supports photos. PhotoPostr looks promising too for photos and collections.
If you want to go crazy to support some of the other niceties on your site, add Simple Location plugin for showing GPS location and weather conditions and Post Kinds plugin for custom (and customizable) photo display (meant to be compatible with Micropub, but doesn’t have Gutenberg support).
Here’s an example photo from this morning: https://boffosocko.com/2020/09/09/55776473/
Naturally it’d be awesome to see Micropub support in core.

Long overdue and could have been an even higher bar, particularly on the studio side.
Newyddion, materion cyfoes, chwaraeon a chelfyddau – y diweddara yn ddi-dor yn y Gymraeg.
An interesting online magazine/news site in Cymraeg.
University administrators should have seen this coming.
Sadly, I still keep reading articles about schools wanting to open up in a month or so… sigh.
A 133-year-old law creates perverse incentives for the Trump administration—and could make a chaotic postelection period even more tumultuous.
Yet another reason we need to abandon the electoral college.
Yanjaa, the IKEA Human Catalogue shares her mind palace technique. Perfect if you want to remember passwords, anniversaries or if you want your child to do well in studies via creative learning.
This is a clever bit of marketing on Ikea’s part. She gets to show of some memory techniques and in doing so she highlights some of their products.
The barrage against https://t.co/GwoLbMUTzb continues into its 96th day. The cyberwarfare taking place under the hood is unlike anything we've seen in human history, rivaled only by the besieging of https://t.co/pwn6ZYEwS3 in 2016. Thread incoming! 1/

View of one of the several shower tents that have been set up for showering off before entering the water as the result of coronavirus. In practice, people really aren’t using them or using them well.
