Nice bit of reconstruction, and that you're factoring at the indieweb protocol level makes sense. Another protocol you may want to look at is WebSub so you don't need to poll your feeds so often, but can call web hooks when they are updated.

"name": "What we talk about when we're talking about \"Webmentions\"",
"content": {
"text": "I have a great fondness for IndieWeb building blocks and Webmention is a wonderful meta-building-block that connects so many individual websites together.\n\n Obligatory \"what is Webmention?\": it's a specification that describes a way to \"tell\" a website that some document out on the web links to one of the pages on that site. \n \n\nSound simple? It is! Perhaps even suspiciously simple. Webmention enables whole new kinds of interactions between sites (some great examples in this A List Apart piece). Unfortunately, almost all of the coordination to support these interactions happen outside of the \"Webmention\" spec itself.\nSo, when I see blog post titles like these I am not sure exactly what to expect:\nIntegrating Webmention with my blog\n Pelican, Pingback and Webmentions\n Webmention for TiddlyWiki to enable website to website notifications and communication\n and this clickbait sensation: Add Webmention support to your website in ten minutes\n\n\n There are many more like this, I just grabbed a handful off the last few pages of news.indieweb.org.\n \n\nThese examples and many more are referring to the most talked-about use of Webmention: enabling site-to-site comments and responses, like a souped-up independent alternative to terrible embeds like Disqus.\nThis may sound like a simple feature! We might expect it to look like this:\nYou see a post on the web that you like. Let's call that \"their post\".\n On your own site, you make a post that links to theirs with some comment like \"Nice post!\". We'll call that \"your post\".\n \n Assuming that you both \"have Webmention support\", you might check their post a little later and see a nice summary of your post as a comment below their content.\n \n\n However, for a webmention to \"succeed\", a lot of coordination needs to happen.\n\n On your side:\n \n\n\n You publish \"your post\" which links to \"their post\". So far, so good, you probably publish links to your site all the time.\n \n\n When that post is live, you can try to send a webmention. How do you do that? It depends.\n\n From here, it's pretty much out of your hands. On their side:\n \n\n\n Their post needs to advertise the URL of a service that will accept them.\n \n\n \n That service checks that your post is a real post on the web, and that it contains a link to their post and it ... stores it somewhere. Maybe it goes into a moderation queue?\n \n\nSo then they have the webmention, but to actually display it, their site must:\nPull your post out of wherever their webmentions are stored.\n Somehow understand what your post \"is\".\n \n Render that into their page.\n \n\nWhen I see folks posting \"I added Webmentions to my site\" I want to believe that they have some version of all of the bullet points above. But, there are lots of incompletes.\n\n A list, without references, of partial Webmention support I have seen\n \n\nThe Junk Drawer\nSigning up for a receiving service like webmention.io ... and that's it. Often announced alongside a sentence like \"Next up I'll figure out how to display them!\" This brings to mind with images of the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, or a house filled to the ceiling with stacks of moldy newspapers.\n\n There are, I recognize, lots of good reasons not to display webmentions, beyond some of the technical speedbumps and pitfalls I talk about below. For example there are a lot of unanswered questions and not-yet-built tools and services for dealing with moderation and abuse.\n \n\n\"Why didn't my reply show up on your site?\"\n\n Static sites are back and I love it. But if there's one thing that static sites do extremely poorly it is responding dynamically to outside events. Some static sites (including my own!) will save webmentions as the come in, but won't display them until the next time a post is added or modified on the site.\n \n\n\n \"Why does my reply look weird on your site?\"\n \n\nFrom services to command line tools to fancy build hooks on your fancy hosting service, there are many ways to automate sending webmentions. But unless the receiving end can understand the content of your post, it might not show up as you intended, or at all, on the receiving end. Current best practices would have you add some extra markup to your post so that the receiver can know that it is a reply, or a like, or an RSVP, or something else. This is a hard coordination problem between your site and theirs! In fact there is a whole community and standards process for figuring out how to do these things!\nMaking sure your posts have the \"correct\" markup to look like you want can be difficult even for developers writing their own HTML. Tools like indiewebify.me, Monocle's preview, and microformats.io can help if you are getting your hands dirty. It's much harder for folks that just redesigned their site with a new WordPress theme.\n\n Bridgy Over Troubled Waters\n \n\nBridgy is an absolutely incredible suite of services provided by Ryan, also for free, for the community.\nWith the power of Bridgy Backfeed you can use Webmention to feed replies, likes, and reposts from your Twitter tweets to their corresponding post on your own site! This works despite the fact that twitter.com does not link to your website because Bridgy generates little \"bridge\" pages for which to send webmentions. And it's just a little bit of tweaking to have your Webmention display handle the quirks.\nWith the power of Bridge Publish you can use Webmention to automatically copy posts from your website directly to social media silos like Twitter! You do this by hiding a link to Bridgy in your post, which sends a Webmention to Bridgy, and then Bridgy parses your post to understand it and figure out which bits to tweet. And then Bridgy responds with info about your new tweet. And it's just a little bit of tweaking to have your Webmention sender handle those quirks and update your post with that link.\n\n With the power of Bridge Fed you can use Webmention to automatically copy posts from your website directly into The Fediverse where yadda yadda yadda. And it's just a bit of tweaking to have your Webmention yadda yadda yadda yadda. \ud83d\ude29 I've tired myself out.\n \n\n\n These are all fantastic things that are build on top of Webmention but that I often feel are conflated with Webmention.\n \n\n\"Just let JavaScript do it!\"\nThis one is a bit... unfair on my part. In fact, I think this setup is the best you can get for the least effort, and I encourage folks to go for it. It looks like this:\nRegister with webmention.io to receive, verify, and store your webmentions.\n Put webmention.js in the template for your posts.\n\n I love webmention.io and use it myself. It is an amazing community resource run by Aaron at no charge! Kevin's mention.tech is another great tool, as is VoxPelli's webmention.herokuapp.com. By configuring one of them to accept webmentions on your behalf you save a lot of trouble. They provide APIs that let you pull out the mentions for pages across your site.\n \n\nSimilarly, webmention.js is a really great tool by fluffy that hides a lot of complexity and forethought about how to display webmentions with a single JavaScript include.\n\n All that said, I have some issues with this particular combo long-term because all the fetching and display of webmentions happens in the browser of the person viewing your post.\n \n\n\n If 1,000 people visit your post, that's 1,000 requests to webmention.io, putting load on a service being run by one individual for free.\n \n\nThis setup also means that the webmentions for a post aren't included in the original HTML. So, if your site sends a webmention and wants to check back automatically to see if it's shown up, but their site only displays webmentions via JavaScript, your site will never see it. Likewise, it becomes much harder to keep track of reply chains, for example.\nWhy are you being such a downer about this?\nDespite, apparently, being a bit salty today, I really do get excited about Webmention, how it's being used in so many ways to connect independent sites, and new ways it can be used in the future.\nI'm worried, a bit, that \"Webmention\" is starting to lose its meaning in conversation. It's starting to feel like a shorthand that hides important details.\nMaybe Webmention can be thought of as less of a \"building block\" and more like a glue. You can do so many things with glue, like combining a bunch of planks into a table, or building a parade float sculpture with papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9, or doctoring the photo in a passport!\n\n You wouldn't call them all \"glue\".",

Some static sites (including my own!) will save webmentions as the come in, but won't display them until the next time a post is added or modified on the site.\n <br /></p>\n<h3>\n \"Why does my reply look weird on your site?\"\n <br /></h3>\n<p>From <a href=\"https://webmention.app/\">services</a> to <a href=\"https://jmac.org/whim/\">command line tools</a> to <a href=\"https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/09/10/webmentions-on-deploy/\">fancy build hooks on your fancy hosting service</a>, there are many ways to automate sending webmentions. But unless the receiving end can understand the content of your post, it might not show up as you intended, or at all, on the receiving end. Current best practices would have you <a href=\"https://aaronparecki.com/2018/06/30/11/your-first-webmention\">add some extra markup to your post</a> so that the receiver can know that it is a reply, or a like, or an RSVP, or something else. This is a hard coordination problem between your site and theirs! In fact <a href=\"http://microformats.org/\">there is a whole community and standards process for figuring out how to do these things</a>!</p>\n<p>Making sure your posts have the \"correct\" markup to look like you want can be difficult even for developers writing their own HTML. Tools like <a href=\"https://indiewebify.me/\">indiewebify.me</a>, <a href=\"https://monocle.p3k.io/preview\">Monocle's preview</a>, and <a href=\"https://microformats.io/\">microformats.io</a> can help if you are getting your hands dirty. It's much harder for folks that just redesigned their site with a new WordPress theme.</p>\n<h3>\n Bridgy Over Troubled Waters\n <br /></h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://brid.gy/\">Bridgy</a> is an <i>absolutely incredible</i> suite of services provided by <a href=\"https://snarfed.org/\">Ryan</a>, also for free, for the community.</p>\n<p>With the power of Bridgy Backfeed you can use Webmention to feed replies, likes, and reposts from your Twitter tweets to their corresponding post on your own site! This works despite the fact that twitter.com <i>does not link to your website</i> because Bridgy generates little \"bridge\" pages for which to send webmentions. And it's just a little bit of tweaking to have your Webmention display handle the quirks.</p>\n<p>With the power of Bridge Publish you can use Webmention to automatically copy posts from your website directly to social media silos like Twitter! You do this by hiding a link to Bridgy in your post, which sends a Webmention to Bridgy, and then Bridgy parses your post to <i>understand</i> it and figure out which bits to tweet. And then Bridgy responds with info about your new tweet. And it's just a little bit of tweaking to have your Webmention sender handle those quirks and update your post with that link.</p>\n<p>\n With the power of Bridge Fed you can use Webmention to automatically copy posts from your website directly into The Fediverse where yadda yadda yadda. And it's just a bit of tweaking to have your Webmention yadda yadda yadda yadda. \ud83d\ude29 I've tired myself out.\n <br /></p>\n<p>\n These are all fantastic things that are build <i>on top of Webmention</i> but that I often feel are <i>conflated with Webmention</i>.\n <br /></p>\n<h3>\"Just let JavaScript do it!\"</h3>\n<p>This one is a bit... unfair on my part. In fact, I think this setup is the best you can get for the least effort, and I encourage folks to go for it. It looks like this:</p>\n<ul><li>Register with webmention.io to receive, verify, and store your webmentions.</li>\n <li>Put <a href=\"https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js/\">webmention.js</a> in the template for your posts.</li>\n</ul><p>\n I love webmention.io and use it myself. It is an amazing community resource run by <a href=\"https://aaronparecki.com/\">Aaron</a> at no charge! <a href=\"http://www.kevinmarks.com/\">Kevin</a>'s <a href=\"http://mention.tech/\">mention.tech</a> is another great tool, as is <a href=\"http://voxpelli.com/\">VoxPelli</a>'s <a href=\"https://webmention.herokuapp.com/\">webmention.herokuapp.com</a>. By configuring one of them to accept webmentions on your behalf you save a lot of trouble. They provide APIs that let you pull out the mentions for pages across your site.\n <br /></p>\n<p>Similarly, webmention.js is a really great tool by <a href=\"https://beesbuzz.biz/\">fluffy</a> that hides a lot of complexity and forethought about how to display webmentions with a single JavaScript include.</p>\n<p>\n All that said, I have some issues with this particular combo long-term because all the fetching and display of webmentions happens in the browser of the person viewing your post.\n <br /></p>\n<p>\n If 1,000 people visit your post, that's 1,000 requests to webmention.io, putting load on a service being run by <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/single_point_of_aaron\">one individual</a> for free.\n <br /></p>\n<p>This setup also means that the webmentions for a post aren't included in the original HTML. So, if your site sends a webmention and wants to check back automatically to see if it's shown up, but their site only displays webmentions via JavaScript, your site will never see it. Likewise, it becomes much harder to keep track of <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/reply-chain\">reply chains</a>, for example.</p>\n<h2>Why are you being such a downer about this?</h2>\n<p>Despite, apparently, being <i>a bit salty</i> today, I really do get excited about Webmention, how it's being used in so many ways to connect independent sites, and new ways it can be used in the future.</p>\n<p>I'm worried, a bit, that \"Webmention\" is starting to lose its meaning in conversation. It's starting to feel like a shorthand that hides important details.</p>\n<p>Maybe Webmention can be thought of as less of a \"building block\" and more like a glue. You can do so many things with glue, like combining a bunch of planks into a table, or building a parade float sculpture with papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9, or doctoring the photo in a passport!</p>\n<p>\n You wouldn't call them all \"glue\".\n <br /></p>"

The IndieWeb doesn’t have “users”, lol. It’s all people. No VC fluff, no “we gotta hit the KPI!”. People-centric and driven.
But nah, these events are moments to study and reflect on. Smugness helps no one (since again, we’re focused on people).

Sure, I never made a note of that being the direction though. That’s the fallacy of Mastodon since it wanted to replicate Tweetdeck (kinda understandably). The IndieWeb doesn’t have this problem though.

"text": "Yesterday I joined in the West Coast Homebrew Website Club via Zoom. I was worried I'd be too tired to join - it was held 9-10:30pm my time - but after a nice dinner and wind-down from the day I was in a pretty good place.\nJacky shared some demos, reading, and brainstorming (go check 'em out). And, as captured in Tantek's notes, we also got into some good discussion about community onboarding prompted by Sarah.\nA recurring theme as new folks join the IndieWeb community is that the wiki is an amazing resource but also a source of crippling information overload. In recent years we have discussed ways to (re-)organize content for folks geting their own site started. On his own, Jason has begun writing guided intros for developers on topics like Webmention. But as Sarah pointed out, IndieWeb is much more than just developer documentation or guides for folks setting up their own websites. IndieWeb is also an active community with frequent live events, 24/7 discussions, and a long-term memory of observations and ideas and projects and participants. So, perhaps it's worth thinking about onboarding from a perspective of introducing new folks to this community, what they can expect, and how to successfully engage.\nFor my part, I continued research into the cursed project that I've been noodling on for years and finally started during IndieWebCamp 2020 West. My goal is to give folks a free way to dip their toes into the IndieWeb without needing to understand the building blocks first, but with on-ramps to understanding, customizing, and improving any part of it. While I am learning a lot from projects like Postr, I think I will end up actually making my own version of building blocks like authorization, token, and micropub endpoints. By way of being careful, I would like to be able to test that each one works properly. So that's how I ended up volunteering to help build out the IndieAuth.rocks test suite. \ud83d\ude05\n\n I really enjoy and appreciate these meetups and I look forward to joining the next one!",

At tonight's #HomebrewWebsiteClub, I managed to implement listing all my site's posts, using Micropub Query for All Posts - which is consumable with Indigenous for Android

So I mentioned the idea of making my homepage more dynamic. I don’t want it to be too difficult to do though. I have a concept of theming on my site. Since I can completely control the theme, this makes for a very interesting situation where, by leveraging Microformats JSON, I can dynamically render things on a page. For example, in this screenshot of my future site, I can have each section be determined by a property of a larger h-entry. The main text could be the e-summary, the headline text being p-name and the changelog region be a p-x-changelog that’d hold a list of embedded h-cites to other content that I’ve created!
As far as I know, there’s no such compatibility availability in a Micropub client for editing like this; they focus on providing particular post types and don’t seem to allow for “custom’ properties. However, the needed part is really just being able to push arbitrary properties to one’s post. The basis of this (for fetching) is already available thanks to q=source&url= in Micropub; you can fetch the MF2 representation of a post. This is enough to push new properties to a post.
My goal is to take Koype Publish and improve it to support this functionality of compositional content. Right now, it servers as a way for me to create long-form content and nothing more. This would allow me to do so much with my site. Some ideas I had was working on a “stack page” that’d serve as a h-entry with children for each thing that I can move around and adjust as if it was in a WYSIWYG setup.
What does the community think about such editing styles?
