Is there an open standard for adding simple social features to an RSS based blog?
e.g. a public friends list, likes/comments controlled (or at least signed) by the commenter

Re: Show HN: Collected Notes – A note-taking blogging app I made
#142Less than a month ago I decided to build an app for myself to solve a very specific problem: “I want to be able to take notes on my phone, share some of them online, and publish a few on my personal blog — oh, an I also want an API!” I built this is because no tool out there satisfied my needs: - Notion had no native app so it's very slow to use on mobile. Plus is too general. - Medium is a disaster for readers, they…
Hey, I'm really interested in trying your app. However I am unable to sign in via iPhone SE. The small screen means I that cannot tap to sign in with email address - I prefer this over Apple/Google login. Otherwise so it looks great, I look forward to giving it a go.
Sorry about that, didn't test enough on smaller screens. Will be definitely fixed on the next update. In the meantime you can try the web desktop version!

#143listed.to has done a similar thing for awhile leveraging Standard Notes[1] to give you a note taking and pseudo cms. I kind of hate that they bury it, SN is lovely and very simple to use. [1] - https://standardnotes.org/
That looks really nice

Hey, this looks great.
One thing you might want to consider is having one domain for a website about collectednotes (collectednotes.com) and another for hosting user's blogs (collectednotes.blog for example) because it is currently not clear what urls are official and made by you and which are just blogs made by anyone.
For example, https://collectednotes.com/accounts/ is genuine and made by you whilst https://collectednotes.com/account/ is a blog I just created. To me there seems a very real risk of users being mislead.

#150Very well executed. I think I’d be a heavy user if the focus was more on private rather than public notes.
Markdown plus an API feels like a great idea. Apps like this would be very useful for teaching the kinds of thinking used in computer science.
They encourage writing instructions for the computer in plain text and then building upwards from there. This is a much more powerful way of operating a machine than the top down with apps, in the old ICT style of learning.
Markdown is a great introduction to the concept of telling the computer what to do, rather than doing what the computer lets you do.
