sparkles

sparkles is a Micropub client. It supports IndieAuth for login and expects a micropub endpoint to communicate with to publish posts. It supports basic micropub content types, as well as the following experimental post types:

• movie (watch)
• book (read)
• music (listen)
• game (play)

sparkles can also be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on supported devices which will add the app as a share target and also add some quick action options.
