Frustrated.

I’ve been working on my own micropub project for months now, as a rebuild of a minimally viable version, and I have never once not felt like I was swimming through tar. The spec is basically the shadows on the wall from Plato’s parable, and now I find client support basically doesn’t exist. The only one I’ve found that allows me to do anything is a command line tool that’s not much more than a light wrapper around a library. Everything else either doesn’t have the support For third party endpoints I was told it has, like the micro.blog apps, or just crashes when I try to add my endpoint. Even the endpoint tests I found on micropub.rocks seem to directly contradict the spec.

I shouldn’t take it so hard, this is supposed to be a toy, an excuse to write code. Sometimes it overwhelms though.
