Working on Webmention, 2023-12-17

Working on Webmention, 2023-12-17

permalink (perhaps not needed)
I (Pete) am working on Webmention as part of IndieWebCamp San Diego 2023. See .

Angelo is graciously helping me by answering newbie questions. :-)

My first experiment is to use a service to send Webmentions; the services I've looked at will send a Webmention for links inside an h-entry.

The current plan is to wrap the whole body of wiki pages in h-entry; this page will be doing that.

The content above works! We might not need the u-url permalink (for future testing). It was parsed and a webmention was sent by https://telegraph.p3k.io/, with Pete manually clicking the send button.

Next up: automate sending webmentions when the website is built.

Pseudocode:

  • for each wiki page
    • has it changed since we last checked it for sending webmentions?
      • if so, for each outgoing link on the page
        • send a webmention from this page's url to the url of the outgoing link
        • update the "last checked for sending webmentions" time for this page

See https://indieweb.org/Webmention-developer#Libraries for libraries.

Consider doing an RSS feed at the same time.
