Wiring Up Webmentions
Added Webmentions to DietPy today!
One thing I really like about the IndieWeb idea is that conversations don't have to be stuck on one platform. If someone writes a reply on their own site and links to one of my notes, that reply can show up right here too, pretty neat.
Since DietPy is a static site with no backend, hosting my own Webmention endpoint wasn't really an option. Went with webmention.io instead, it handles receiving them, and my note pages just fetch and display whatever comes in as replies, likes, or reposts.
Also set up a small GitHub Action that sends Webmentions out automatically whenever I publish a new note with outbound links, so I don't have to remember to do it manually.
No mentions yet, plumbing's all in place though. Looking forward to seeing the first one land!
