What’s kind of frustrating is that there aren’t really any #WordPress themes that capitalize on Fediverse integration. I don’t mind adding custom stuff in, but I’m torn between either altering a proprietary theme, or trying to code my own from scratch. Building from scratch means way more work, but it’s theoretically well-supported to do what I want. Altering something that exists means technical debt, on a system that could change at any time. I just don’t know what to do. Do I put all the work up front, or do it over time on the backend?

I think the simplest solution might be to use a very simple skeleton theme, and modify it as necessary. I could keep it simple, not depend on too many plugins, and gradually shape it to look and feel the way I want it to… What a headache, though.
