Screenshots

The screens Outpost adds to WordPress, captured from a fresh install. Every screenshot has a text equivalent in the page that documents the task, so you never need the image to follow the instructions.

Screenshots come from two sources. The repeatable capture script (npm run screenshots:docs, which runs against a disposable WordPress Playground — no Docker needed) generates the admin screens and the composer sign-in view. The rest need a manual capture because they require a completed IndieAuth sign-in, connected providers, or a real phone; their specifications are listed at the end of this page.

Admin screens

The main Outpost admin page: per-variant bookmarklets and the phone install steps. The dependency notice at the top appears when IndieAuth or Micropub isn’t active yet. See Common tasks → Add the bookmarklets.

Outpost Settings → API Keys: where syndication destination credentials go. Saved values are stored encrypted. See Settings.

Outpost → Appearance: choose the composer’s day/night mode and override its design tokens. See Settings.

Outpost → OAuth Connections: connect Oura, WHOOP, Polar Flow, Ravelry, or Ride With GPS. Select Connect next to a provider to start its authorization flow. See Supported services.

Settings → Outpost iOS Shortcut: generate the per-user token that lets an iOS Shortcut post to your site. See Common tasks.

Composer

The composer at /post before sign-in: enter your site address to start the IndieAuth flow. See Getting started.

These captures require a signed-in session, connected providers, or a real phone. Each row is the full specification for capturing it (viewport 1280×800 at 2x for admin screens, a phone-sized viewport for composer screens).
