## Micropub service

Several [Micropub services](https://indieweb.org/Micropub/Servers) exist.

None of them however fit our needs
* Free Software
* Sensible for self-hosting
  * Reasonably security (excludes PHP code)
  * Reasonably memory-efficient (excludes Java and Scala code)
  * Reasonably decentral (excludes Go code)
  * Reasonable to package (excludes Swift and Elixir code)
* Content stored in git (SQL used only for caching if at all)
* Content format is Markdown (preferably CommonMark)
* must support [article](https://indieweb.org/article) posts
* must support updating existing posts

A [project] has therefore been initiated
to develop a Micropub proxy service.

## Micropub client

Several [Micropub clients] exist.

The most promising is [Indigenous].
Unfortunately the desktop flavor is implemented on top of Electron,
which is unlikely to ever be packaged in Debian.

The server proxy [project] might be extended
to also create a desktop client using [tauri].
