Micropub is a W3C standard for publishing that is incredibly easy to implement. The advantage of having a platform agnostic posting API that supports simple form encoded or json encoded posts will instantly open up WordPress to many additional editors.
Is there any interest in this? This seems to be an alternative to XML-RPC and REST API, but with much lower adoption. I’ve never heard of it until now.
Since we plan on removing XML-RPC into a core plugin, it doesn’t make sense to be adding any new. This is plugin territory like XML-RPC will be. Setting this petition to close.
