Archive of all site posts #84

After seeing @miklb's issue with brid.gy post discovery in https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-04-06#bottom, it occurs to me that Post Kinds could potentially solve this issue for everyone in the future.

Most kinds already have a full archive at a URL like www.example.com/kind/{type} where {type}=note, article, read, bookmark, like, favorite, etc. Why not have a full site archive generated at www.example.com/kind/?

Then Post Kinds could also automatically put the following link into the header so that Brid.gy would find the site's full feed easier without users needing to explicitly create it and put the link in manually. <link rel="feed" type="text/html" title="Site Name or Title" href="http://example.com/kind/" />

Thoughts? Issues?

It might have to be kinds because kind is part of a rewrite rule. Will check

I'm not sure the plugin should provide that, there are plenty of WordPress templates that can provide a full archive of posts and IMO is a theme issue, not plugin.

@miklb I would generally agree with you, but I'm thinking about Harry and Mary Beercan who install this for indieweb purposes and just want things like bridgy backfeed to work without a lot of additional customization. Support at least until there are more themes that support mf2 out of the box would help general indieweb adoption.

@chrisaldrich they would probably be.using an IndieWeb theme off the shelf that should provide that feed vs me who is creating a custom theme. Certainly something to document for anyone creating an IndieWeb theme.

@chrisaldrich Still thinking about this? WordPress provides the option to put a full site archive at a specific URL.
