New Project

This project is an open source collaboration between Danny Froberg @dfroberg & Martin Lees @howo (inspired by @themarkymark, @steemcleaners, @berniesanders, and a few others) to provide a WordPress plugin that provides a post summary of all WordPress posts written a during a day; it's intended to be used alongside and integrates with @steempress the WordPress to Steem integration solution.

DailyBrief is designed to solve a fundamental problem many new WordPress users find themselves with when they first begin to publish on the steem blockchain using SteemPress; The dreaded SPAM label. Producing too many posts daily on steem hits a cultural bias many anti-abuse teams adhere to "More than 4 posts a day is always SPAM".

As a solution, DailyBrief creates a daily summary of all posts written during a day and lets SteemPress publish the brief instead of each post, making everyone happy.

Important: The plugin is primarily intended to be used alongside SteemPress the WordPress to Steem integration solution. If you want to publish your daily briefs to steem you need to install SteemPress first.

Note: This plugin requires PHP 5.6 or higher to be activated.

Note: Automated tests for PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 are made on each commit.

Current Features

DailyBrief compiles a summary of all posts made during a particular day complete with featured images, meta information, and excerpts. It also creates a table of contents, inserts headers and footers with optional replacement tags that auto-fill in article counts, tags and categories used in the processed articles. If no posts are available, the brief skips the day.
Plugin can also be accessed via WP-CLI for more advanced users check readme.

Roadmap

  • Multi-user capability, enable authors to leverage the SteemPress author specific steem account functionality and have a brief created and published under each author account.

  • Split-day mode, generate up to 4 briefs per day, to enable very high-frequency sites to publish split day briefs (00:00 -- 06:00 / 06:00 -- 12:00 / 12:00 -- 18:00 / 18:00 -- 00:00 ) with automatic skipping if no posts are available, or deferred to the next time slot.
