Support for the Open Graph Protocol.
Now when you share links to other web sites, (or Discord) they'll be able to generate previews if they support OGP.
Quick access to share links.
Click the arrow at the top-right corner of a post to access share links.

There's now an official Discord server for FeoBlog. If you have questions, feedback, or just want to chat, drop on by!
Note: Discord invite links can expire, so check this user's profile for the latest link if the above one doesn't work.
Released: July 18, 2021

You can now filter and search your "My Feed" page.
Is someone posting a bit too much today? You can temporarily hide them from
your feed to see what everyone else has to say. Looking for a post you saw
last week? Now you can search for a keyword and view only posts/comments that
mention that.
Posts are no longer clickable.
Previously, the entire block containing a post was clickable, and would take
you to the page for that post. But that resulted in a lot of accidental
clicks. Also, since the cursor changed to a pointer for the whole block, it
was difficult to see if images were clickable. Now that behavior is gone. You
can click on the timestamp of a post to go to a page for just that post.
#52 Automatically redirect to the "My Feed" page when logged in.
If you're logged in, you're probably repeatedly coming to FeoBlog to check
your feed. So that's now the default view.
Released: June 25, 2021 https://github.com/NfNitLoop/feoblog/releases/tag/v0.4.0
The web client is now the default view.
FeoBlog has two ways to access content. One is plain HTML (A.K.A.: Web 1.0),
which works well for old browsers and search engines. The other is a web
client (Web 2.0), which has a nicer interface. Now, if you visit a page in a
browser that supports JavaScript, you'll get automatically redirected to the
newer, nicer web client.
Post drafts are now saved.
If you navigate away from the "New Post" page and come back later, your post
will still be there. Whew!
Added some helpful warnings when writing markdown posts
Now if you forget to link that [reference]
, you'll get a warning reminding
you to add a link.
Better support for password managers
You should save your private key ("password") in a password manager. But some
password managers were filling in the wrong fields. Hopefully that's fixed.
(If not, please open an issue!)
An updated README to explain the core principles behind FeoBlog's design
Support for attachments on iOS (and probably Android)
Oops. You can't easily drag-and-drop on a phone, so I added a button to
attach files. Now you can take photos and easily upload them from your phone!
Improved automatic link generation when adding attachments
When you add an attachment to a post, FeoBlog will generate a [link]
and a
[link]: files/reference.example
for you. Now it'll do a better job of
placing those within an existing document.
This release brings file attachments to your posts, so bring on the cat pictures!
It also adds automatic builds and releases via [GitHub Actions], which is a nice thing for me. 😊
Released: Feb. 25, 2021
https://github.com/NfNitLoop/feoblog/releases/tag/v0.3.0
Note: There's a known issue (Bug #16) that is preventing Windows builds from working at the moment. I'll enable Windows builds when that's fixed.
Version 0.2.0 is out now.
feoblog db upgrade
command to keep your database up-to-date with the

Curious how easy it is to write a client for FeoBlog?
Check out fb-rss.py, a utility to sync an RSS feed into FeoBlog.
A video demo of the features available in v0.1.0 is now available on YouTube.
If you're interested in learning more, but haven't had time to set up your own server, hopefully this will help!
The first publicly released version of FeoBlog, version 0.1.0 is now available on GitHub! 🎉
This is the first post on my public FeoBlog server. 🎉
Tomorrow, I'll work to get the source code cleaned up and published to GitHub so people can run their own servers. For today, ping me personally if you want to be an early tester. :)
