LinkoScope REST API Extension

This plugin is a backend component for the LinkoScope web application, a Hacker News-style platform. It is required for users who want to run LinkoScope on a self-hosted site rather than on a hosted platform. The plugin extends the site's API by registering a specific custom post type that the LinkoScope frontend application depends on to function correctly.

Custom Post Type Registration: The core function is to define and create the unique post type that LinkoScope uses for its content, such as links and discussions. API Extension: It works alongside the WP-API plugin, adding the necessary endpoints and data structure for the LinkoScope frontend to communicate with the backend. Self-Hosted Support: It provides the necessary backend infrastructure for users who choose to host their own instance of the LinkoScope application, offering more control over their data and environment. Simple Installation: The plugin is installed by downloading it into the plugins directory and activating it through the standard administration menu, with no complex configuration required. Dependency Management: It clearly states its prerequisite, the WP-API plugin, ensuring users have the correct foundation installed before activation.
