While I understand your focus here, I think step one for figuring out endorsements is to focus on the “simple” flow, how one site requests a badge from another and how the other site replies. Once a simple two site flow is determined, then it can be tweaked to support a third-party credentials system. I see it as you would likely create the initial request post, but then you would syndicate that to the third party ledger. (We already know how syndication works, so that wouldn’t have to be figured out).

It’s for everybody. :] But yes, webmentions were developed in the indieweb community and a lot of our personal sites support it so we can interact between our sites.

I’m biased, but the indieweb chat is a good place to keep up with things people are doing on their personal sites and get inspired! https://indieweb.org/discuss

One Website to Rule Them or Separate Areas of Focus

So I’ve been thinking about the difference between one website to rule them all or separate areas of focus while I’ve been working on my slow website redesign of eddiehinkle.com. Part of it is because I saw some really nice “Minimalist” blogs that were so clean and amazing, namely Where the Light Gathers and Manuel Moreale. This led me to record a microcast about my homepage redesign.

Salmention support

Does Webmention.io support Salmention? Or is it expected of a Webmention.io user that they fetch the responses on the mentioning post by manually fetching the post information when they receive the webmention.io ping?

This Week in the IndieWeb Audio Edition • July 14th - 20th, 2018

#podcast #IndieWeb #this-week-indieweb-podcast

Looks like Aaron Parecki is up to something fun with his new microcast.club podcast directory-slash-webring. I went ahead and added This Week in the IndieWeb Audio Edition! Looking forward to seeing more webrings like this bloom throughout the web as a means of discovery. (and, yes, I very much need to add a few features and post about 🕸💍.ws here!)

Oops something went wrong with my Bridgy syndication so there’s some missing bits to this convo. This issue is being closed because the issue is actually with webmention.io

See https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/21/5/ for more info

Hmm odd! I see it as “activity: rsvp” in the webmention.io mentions endpoint. I’m not sure how to link to that, though.

@HowellsMead For those familiar, it may be a useful shorthand, but it simplifies things too far. Webmention uses knowledge of prior history and abuses of Trackback/Pingbacks/Refbacks and improves on them.

@voxpelli may be able to point out documentation or help as well.
@granderojo You might find some useful inspiration at https://indieweb.org.

Webmentions are great! I’ve been using them since 2017 and it’s changed the way I interact. I just wrote an article about how I got into Webmention and other IndieWeb technologies. Give it a read (https://eddiehinkle.com/2018/07/20/11/article/) and join us (https://indieweb.org/discuss)

That’s a great idea. I’m doing something similar. I’m in the process of leaving Facebook, so I created three topics (Personal, Family, Tech) that people could sign up for. I have a monthly email that sends posts that are of the topics the person is interested in.

You’ve probably seen me ramble on about “IndieWeb” the last few years. Here’s a great A List Apart article on webmentions, the core of how we can start interacting from our own website instead of silos.

My IndieWeb story, Part 1: Jumping in the Deep End

This is part 1 of at least a 4 part series about the IndieWeb and my involvement with it so far. I hope it presents both some technical aspects of the IndieWeb but more so introduces how the IndieWeb experience is personal and is shaped by each individual.

That’s great, thanks! I don’t see a problem with it being part of the same issue. If someone else working on Vouch does, they’ll leave a comment in the issue. As Vouch is relatively new in actual implementation, it’s great to have as many eyes on it as possible

Let the rabbit hole take you in!! 🙃 I’m slightly kidding, but also serious. I embraced the rabbit hole a year and a half ago. Best thing I ever did tech-wise!
