WordPress Plugins

Friends

This is my passion plugin that allows you to make your own WordPress the center of your online activity. You can connnect WordPresses to form a friend network and share private posts with your friends. It is also a Feed Reader and gives you a nice UI for reading the feeds you subscribe. In combination with the ActivityPub plugin you can also follow Mastodon accounts, like, boost and reply to their status posts.

Enable Mastodon Apps

This adds the Mastodon API to your WordPress. This means you can use any Mastodon app to talk to your blog to write new posts, upload media, see your friends posts (if used with the Friends plugin) and reply to them. It’s a fascinating alternate way to use WordPress.

Post Collection

Store posts from the web on your blog for later reading, or sending them to your E-Reader. The posts can be separated into different collections by using WordPress users for this.

Send to E-Reader

Send posts to your e-reader via e-mail or download them from a special-link overview page. This is nice for reading articles from the web on your e-reader.

Chatrix

Here I led the team creating this, only contributing a bit. This is a Matrix client as a Block Editor block. You can add a Matrix chat to a page and lock it to a room.

OpenID Connect Server

Here I led the team creating this, only contributing a bit. This makes WordPress a OpenID Connect server so that you can use it to authenticate. For example, have a Matrix server that allows users to from a WordPress to (automatically) create accounts. This was created for the efforts to migrate WordPress.org to Matrix.
