Posts page redesign

When you build software for yourself you can sometimes get a bit blind to the user experience. When you know how the underlying system works, you can often translate unintuitive behaviors to give them meaning. I guess that's my excuse for why the site posts list was looking the way it did, with a single list of posts and almost no information about the status of each post.

That page has now been redesigned to split posts into categories, each with its own tab. The first tab, Published, shows all the document records you have for your publication that we've also discovered through the feed, and a republish button for updating. annot.at also stores a content hash of the post, and shows a little message if the post has changed since it was published.

The second tab is unpublished posts, or in other words, things we found in the feed that are not on atproto. You can publish these by clicking Publish on each row, or publish all of them with the button on the top right.

Third tab is for content you have published, but that we're unable to connect back to your feed. This can be because your feed only shows the latest N posts, or because the record key on the actual post page is missing.

And the final tab is "Setup needed", all of the posts from your feed that lack the required <link rel="site.standard.document" href=<aturi> /> tag, with instructions for how to get set up.

It already feels a lot more like a "real" service!
