Would be fun to be able to receive comments/annotations to my digital garden via webmentions.
As it is a static site, I’ll do it with webmentions.io and webmentions.js
OK, so webmentions.io uses web log-in.
Alrighty, I’ll do that via relme auth.
First I’ll need to add some rel=me links.
Ha, sweet, I didn’t realise rel me login can work via email address!
That’s so cool. OK, so I added
<link rel="me" href="mailto:my@email.foo" />
to my head section for commonplace.doubleloop.net
and then signed in at webmention.io.
Now I can add
<link rel="webmention" href="https://webmention.io/commonplace.doubleloop.net/webmention" /> <link rel="pingback" href="https://webmention.io/commonplace.doubleloop.net/xmlrpc" />
to my head section.
ok, let’s give it a spin!
i can send webmentions from my existing indieweb blog at doubleloop.net
I sent one:
and it arrived!
It doesn’t work with my wikilink rewriting stuff. So I need to use the full URL (or fix the rewriting stuff) if I want to mention from my own site. Which wasn’t really the point, but actually could be interesting…
ok so now i’ll try displaying received webmentions with webmentions.js
I followed the instructions at https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js
And it works!
That took about 40 minutes in total, super cool.
Needs some styling and tweaking and adding to all pages now. But that’s pretty epic.
Some thoughts:
