I think being able to sync subs is just a matter of how creative you get with
it. I don't think you'd really necessarily need this module to cobble
something together, I actually think I've cobbled some things together using
the listserver function on synchronet where you can email to a message board.
I guess you can subscribe to wordpress sites via email, and that might be one
way. i think i did it using some rss feed to email service. Anyhow, it's
definitely possible to some extent, but I would suppose if one were familiar
with the Synchronet message objects it's probably trivial.
The cool thing is it kinda opens you up to exploiting wordpress plugins for
your bbs too. Since I have things like social media updaters on my wordpress
site by category for instance, if I wanted to publish something across
facebook,twitter, tumblr, google + I probably can leverage a solution that
someone already built-in. If you wanted to make posts on login for instance,
or when someone got a high score on a game or whatever action you can do
whatever.
I didn't crack the full API or anything, there are endpoints and routes that
aren't handled. You can handle users for instance with the API, which I could
see opening up some cool things, but I have no interest in that for my
purposes right now, and I'm probably the most imaginative on this frontier
right now (wordpress + synchronet cross functionality). I'm not sure how long
or why I would do it if I did add more stuff though. But I'll probably find
out as I build out my app that uses this module and update the github
accordingly. It definitely can be extended and if anyone wants to try have at
it. ;) Also, I'm just using basicAuth because I was having a hard time
installing some stuff on my WP server, so I probably will update that in due
time.
blah blah blah i'm glad you're interested though!
supercheers,
