Pinned posts do not appear in the collection's post list about writefreely HOT 2 OPEN

Thanks for reporting this. Can you share a bit more about your use case, so I can understand why you might want pinned posts at that endpoint? Right now, it's designed to only provide a feed of posts.

from writefreely.

My use case was that I wanted to have a WriteFreely blog where the content is externally managed: as in, have a directory full of markdown files, which a script would sync to my WriteFreely instance, add them to the relevant collections, pin them if necessary, and so on. Part of this sync was deleting obsolete posts. I originally wanted to implement this by listing posts in the main collection (I only used one), but ran into this problem, that pinned posts weren't listed there, so I couldn't delete obsolete ones (I did not wish to keep track of post IDs already posted: everything that's not in the source repo should be considered obsolete, and to be deleted).

I eventually switched to /api/me/posts, which did list the pinned ones too, and worked in my case (I had a single user, with a single collection). It would have been a lot more annoying if I had multiple users - still doable, but more annoying.

This particular case would be nicely supported if /api/collections/{collection}/posts would take a pinned=true query parameter, because then the use case would work for collections that have posts from multiple users, too.
