Might be a neat thing to provide some tools for easily getting Tumblr/etc posts into Jekyll.

Main worry here is copyright concerns and implications of importing reblogged content and/or random IP you found on the internet into something hosted on your own server.

This would mostly be a problem with images, but maybe text as well if you consider content scraping?

maxmechanic commented 10 years ago

Could include options to link to existing posts in new Jekyll post contingent on post type, otherwise a batch import along with the ability to delete would still leave it up to the user.

I still see this as useful as far as reducing friction to adopt Commonplace, but I understand the hesitation.

This is the worst mockup I have ever created:

I think having a batch import select screen could be nice not just for IP (though I think it's great for that), but for pruning content as you pull it into a new context.
