No, Boris Johnson is not like Steve Jobs http://www.kevinmarks.com/jobsnotjohnson.html
Some Googling about, some slapdash, baling wire, and duct tape and we’ve got something mostly automated to handwrite a /note post on paper with pen, take a photo which autosaves to Google Drive that does OCR into Google Docs which is picked up by IFTTT that does a webhook to Micropub draft post to my website which then auto syndicates to Twitter, Mastodon, and Micropub. https://boffosocko.com/2021/11/23/55798697/ 🎉
@chrisaldrich wild! I love it
Well done Chris!
@chrisaldrich @KevinMarks Okay, that’s pretty impressive.
Chris, your discussion of a workflow of paper to post takes the idea of ‘paper blogs‘ to a whole new level.
I did think about doing something more complicated and thought about a zettelkasten notebook I’d looked at before which looked like this:
I really like the image on your paper blogs post as more befitting. Ultimately I thought I ought to keep it simple.
Perhaps a pre-printed booklet or notebook for each note would be a useful thing to have now that this is a “thing”?
I love this idea. I’m just getting back into both blogging and the IndieWeb and this has me wondering about new ways of sharing ideas.
Although, now I want to get a new fountain pen! I forgot how much I used to enjoy writing with one. 😉
I love this idea Chris! Great work!
