The experience of developing a Micropub client and server plus adding support for webmentions on top of adapting Pelican to be used programatically to generate my blog has been amazing. Tonight I just added offline support to the client, which allows me to "tweet" and publish on my blog while I'm offline and sync later.

I ended up learning and using a number of technologies I hadn't before:

• Pyramid for backend
• VueJS for the client
• Making an SPA
• Lots of CORS drama
• IndieAuth support all the way
• Sync events on service workers
• IndexedDB and localStorage
• Offline support for client
• Microformats
• Pelican deep internals - Static blog generator
• the Js Fetch API instead of good old XHR
• Lots ES6 new fancy syntax, will surely surely break in older browsers :)

And among other adventures:

• Implementing by following w3c spec
• Testing to play in harmony with many other indieweb endpoints (webmention.rocks, brid.gy)
• Going through all the deploy/logs/montoring story
• LetsEncrypt!
• Python3 bytes vs strings, It will bite you, but it's for your own good!
• 100% mobile web support, installable as an app icon
• Ain't nobody cares about Edge and browsers I cannot test.

What I still need to do is learn how are js apps "compiled" in 2018 to make my client be just one bundle since I don't need to have separate requests for CSS and JS on my SPA.

I will also need to finish writing lots of (backend only :-/) tests for my server implementation, some readme files at the very least and make it all public.

I wanted to write what I learned every night, but I didn't have a finished product to blog with yet! ha.
