Question thread #57

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

Someone is working on API and should be done with it within the week if that interests you.

I used JLJ in the past to write blog posts. I think it still works but am waiting to build a new client with the newer API soon.

Here's the PR: https://github.com/dreamwidth/dw-free/pull/2015

Thanks! I'd seen the dw-dev post; definitely worth keeping an eye on.

JLJ looks like it might be a starting point, but it would definitely take a fair amount of work.

Understood. I am interested in any resources you may find. I too work with a shell most days and would find a shell-based client useful. I've begun work on a python-based client for the purpose of interacting with this future API, but it's far from complete. And I am reconsidering its design. Good luck!

Good luck to you as well -- I'll post here (I'm assuming clients are on-topic for dw-dev) when I have my makefile fragment working. It will eventually be part of ssavitzky/MakeStuff.
