I also have a script (github.com/reillypascal/person) that takes a flag for the interaction type and a URL, extracts the title from the URL, and creates a new interaction post (e.g., like, RSVP, etc.). Makes things much more convenient than having to copy all that down by hand!

I have interactions on Mastodon/Bluesky coming in as webmentions, and that's nice, but other sources get lost in the shuffle, so I have a script here (github.com/reillypascal/person) that filters out all the ones where "wm-source" contains "brid.gy/," which is super helpful.

- I've been slowly learning more about the #IndieWeb it's really great and the more I read about it, the more excited I get (but also more confused, should I implement #RSS / #Atom / #Activitypub / #webmentions on my blog, all of the above or none?). Also I've discovered some great blogs and dusted off my feed reader.

New gemlog post!

I made a gemlog post about sending and receiving webmentions from gemini capsules with kineto (gemini2web proxy) and for example nginx.

I finally figured out displaying webmentions on my site without any client-side JavaScript! I'm happy with the visual design for displaying them too

I plan to do more in-progress writeups of projects instead of waiting around until I'm sure something's "finished"

I have webmentions coming in from Mastodon now! I added microformats, including a "u-syndication" link to my site (e.g., here: reillyspitzfaden.com/posts/202 — you can see if you right-click and "view source"), and I figured out getting my Mastodon account working with Bridgy.

Now I'm able to see interactions on Mastodon as webmentions, and it should be relatively straightforward to add a counter to my post showing how many interactions it has on the Fediverse.

Took a little time today to make some improvements to my #website/#blog.

Got rid of the Ko-fi donation links (no one ever used them), added XML styling to the #Atom feeds (so they render nicely in browsers and have instructions on how to subscribe), fixed a long-standing issue where the table of contents on posts didn’t respect the chosen color theme, and submitted a new “shared link” to justine.lol!

I also started writing a review for #SlayThePrincess and wrote a small script that can search #HackerNews for submissions to pages from my site, and submits them as #WebMentions.

I have questions about #webmentions (bonus points for in the context of #eleventy).

Do you need to use webmention.io? I've seen several posts that reference it, is it reliable?

Also, is it possible to have webmentions on a per-post basis? To kind of use them as an alternative to comments or do they only work for the root domain?

Thanks!
