Blot

Amit Gawande has written a self-hosteable service blotpub that exposes a Micropub endpoint for Blot. It accepts Micropub requests, creates simple Blot posts and saves them to a configured Dropbox folder.

Jekyll

Pelle Wessman has written a self-hostable service that exposes a Micropub endpoint and then performs the instructions sent to that endpoint by committing Jekyll formatted data to a GitHub repository for the Jekyll site. Modular built and would be possible to extend to support other systems like Jekyll as well. https://github.com/voxpelli/webpage-micropub-to-github

Kirby

Sebastiaan Andeweg wrote a Micropub plugin for Kirby 2. As of 2016-12-12 it supports posting with FormEncoded and JSON, and has a branch for update (replace and add) that needs some cleaning and 'delete' support before it can be merged. (I'm selfdogfooding it anyway now) https://github.com/sebsel/kirby-micropub

Sebastian Greger created kirby3-micropublisher (Beta), a configurable Micropub endpoint for Kirby 3, designed to be highly adjust- and extendable.

Libraries and other open source

Libraries and other open source for creating or setting up your own Micropub server support and services.
