Pressify

Uses the power of the WordPress REST API and Progressive Web Apps to form a portable app viewer for WordPress-based sites.

Warning

This service has now been discontinued. If you wish to keep using it, it will be available at pressify.subo.dev and should work for as long as the WordPress REST v2 API is supported.

For a site to work, it has to meet the following criteria:

• A WordPress site with the WP-JSON API endpoint visible.
  • This is 'on' by default, but some security plugins suggest disabling it for 'security' reasons.
• The API is not behind a strict CORS policy.
• The WordPress site hasn't customised the default access policies.
  • A typical custom config will be to require authentication for viewing endpoints, which this tool will not handle.
  • The tool is built to handle these scenarios, but will degrade the experience.

Warning

While we will sanitise the HTML response from the source API, this tool will obtain and display HTML from the specified site. Please only use this tool with websites you trust!

For more info, see React docs on dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

Getting Started

This project requires NodeJS to develop, test and compile the code. The following will quickstart you.

npm ci
npm run serve

The API the system will communicate with is defined in the appropriate .env.

Testing Offline Capabilities

If you want to test the PWA functionality locally, you can add the following to the VitePWA() segment in vite.config.ts:

devOptions: { enabled: true },
