Rant

Publication setup

You do not need this page to post. Writing, publishing, reading, sharing and deleting all work without it — your posts go to your own repo either way, and you can see them at /mine/. This page does one narrow thing: it registers this domain as a standard.site publication, so that other standard.site software can discover it as a blog rather than as a pile of individual documents.

This domain is linked to a publication record.

Served at /.well-known/site.standard.publication, and referenced by the site field of every document posted here. Re-running the button below updates the record's name, description and theme from this deployment's vars — it will not create a second one, because the record key is self.

What the button writes

{
  "$type": "site.standard.publication",
  "url": "https://rant.mino.mobi",
  "name": "Rant",
  "description": "A box to rant into. Posts are standard.site records in your own repo.",
  "basicTheme": {
    "$type": "site.standard.theme.basic",
    "background": {
      "$type": "site.standard.theme.color#rgb",
      "r": 13,
      "g": 15,
      "b": 19
    },
    "foreground": {

    },

}

To your repo, at site.standard.publication/self. Nothing is stored on this server. Whoever presses it owns the record, so it should be whoever owns rant.mino.mobi.

Sign in first.

Then nothing

No second step, no deploy to wait for. This site looks in did:plc:7zre4plmd5jllccww575j6sb and takes the publication record there whose url is https://rant.mino.mobi — so the record the button writes is the one it picks up, and any other publication in the same repo is correctly left alone. Reload — give it up to a minute, the lookup is cached that long — and the link tags, the well-known endpoint and the subscribe button are live.
