<p>This is a simple <a href="http://indiewebcamp.com/micropub">Micropub</a> client for
creating text posts on your own website. To use it, you will need to turn your website
into an OAuth provider, and implement a Micropub endpoint that this app will send
requests to.</p>
<p>Once you've signed in, you'll see an interface like the one shown which you can use to
write a post. Clicking "post" will make a Micropub request to your endpoint.<p>

<p>The <a href="/creating-a-micropub-endpoint">Creating a Micropub Endpoint</a> tutorial will walk you through how to handle incoming POST requests from apps like this.</p>
<h2 id="syndication">Syndication Targets</h2>
<p>You can provide a list of supported syndication targets that will appear as checkboxes when you are creating a new post.</p>
<p>To do this, your Micropub endpoint will need to respond to a GET request containing a query string of <code>q=syndicate-to</code>. This request will be made with the access token that was generated for this app, so you can choose which syndication targets you want to allow this app to use.</p>
<p>Below is the request and expected response that Quill looks for.</p>
<pre><code>GET /micropub?q=syndicate-to HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxx
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
syndicate-to=syndicate-to=twitter.com%2Faaronpk%2Cfacebook.com%2Faaronpk
</code></pre>
<p>The response should be a form-encoded reply with a single field, <code>syndicate-to</code>. The value is a comma-separated list of syndication targets. The actual values are up to your Micropub endpoint, but a good convention is to use the domain name of the service (e.g. twitter.com), or domain name and username (e.g. twitter.com/aaronpk).</p>
<p>If you do include the domain name, Quill will be able to show icons for recognized services next to the checkboxes.</p>
<p>Quill will check for your supported syndication targets when you sign in, but there is also a link on the new post screen to manually re-check if you'd like.</p>
