#pureblog #webmentions

I spent the weekend adding a bunch of microformat classes to my blog and registering it to https://webmention.io/.

I have no idea if I added the microformats correctly. They seem to be parsed fine, but I'm not sure I'm using them right "semantically". If anybody wants to check it out (https://sergiswriting.com) it is greatly appreciated!

I guess next weekend I'll have to start adding some JS (gasp!) to display comments and other stuff.

After Madblog, how many of you would like #ActivityPub and #Indieweb support to come to GPSTracker too?

This is an idea that I’ve been flirting with for a while.

Like many Millennials, 10-15 years ago I was into the Foursquare-mania. It was the age where pubs would offer discount to their Foursquare mayor and where people used to share their Foursquare stats and compete on how many badges they had collected.

Then Foursquare decided to pivot its platform towards the business-side instead, the check-in app was spun off into Swarm, it gradually lost users but it gained trackers, and by now I think only 1-2 of my contacts (out of >100 in the golden age) still use it.

By now I don’t think anyone has filled that gap; there isn’t any social media built around networks that share and recommend their check-ins.

#GPSTracker already supports a lot of tracking, timeline and check-in features, synchronization of geo events with mobile devices, and even stats with arbitrary aggregations (by country, time range, city, region etc.). Plus some features that Foursquare never implemented (like searching for checkins on the timeline by simply selecting an area on the map).

#Microformats already support location tags through the h-adr class, although they are rarely used. Both #Webmentions and ActivityPub could send check-in activities as permalinks to pages with those tags. And the #OpenStreetMap APIs could do the heavylifting of retrieving POIs in in a certain lat/long box.

The only hurdle would be implementing the protocols under the hood, as both the Webmentions and Pubby libraries are in #Python while #GPSTracker is in #Typescript. But it could be a good chance to start writing multi-language bindings for those libraries.

Let me know if it’s something that you would use, or even self-host, and if you know if there’s anything in the Fediverse that already fills this niche.

**Decentralized Dominance: The Unbribed Power of Webmentions**

I've been a vocal advocate for Webmentions for a while - and I'm here to tell you that this game-changing technology is not just a nicety, but a necessity.

The fundamentals are crystal clear: take control of your online presence, ditch the middlemen, and shatter the shackles of Big Tech's stranglehold. It's time to rewrite the rules and reclaim your digital sovereignty.

Let's cut to the chase with an example that'll leave you breathless: imagine Asuka stumbling upon a scorching article on Shinji's site at https://Shinji.com/article. She fires off a comment that'd make a thousand lesser bloggers green with envy - but instead of relying on some soulless commenting system, she takes it to the next level by sending a Webmention directly to Shinji's site.

The implications are staggering: when both parties support Webmentions, they're essentially saying, "You can have my comment, right now." The source URL (https://Asuka.com/comment) and target URL (https://Shinji.com/article) are etched in stone - no more third-party intermediaries, no more social media login hoops to jump through. Just the raw power of the Web.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But isn't this just a fancy alternative to ActivityPub?" Ah, friend, you'd be wrong. Dead wrong. #ActivityPub is a Byzantine nightmare that'll leave your head spinning with concepts like actors, relays, followers, and more. Webmentions, on the other hand, are a elegant, peer-to-peer solution that doesn't require any of that mumbo-jumbo.

And let's not forget the sheer flexibility of Microformats - you can use Webmentions to share anything from likes to RSVPs, media, locations, and even events. The possibilities are endless.

Don't be held hostage by the status quo. Join the Indieweb and take control of your online destiny once and for all.

Nice! I got RSVP posts working on my site. This works with Webmentions / IndieWeb

as well as ActivityPub

Just discovered (a bit late), that one could send Webmentions directly using curl from the terminal.

This was from discovering there's a IndieWeb News feed called IndieNews:

https://news.indieweb.org/en

Might try to submit a few more of my previous posts about IndieWeb to it—then the next thing to tackle is setup automated sending of Webmentions!

My December Adventure detoured into an implementation of IndieAuth. I need an authenticated section to process the pending Webmentions before they're made visible to the public. Instead of maintaining my own credentials, I wanted to stay in the IndieWeb spirit and authenticate against my own website and its rel=me links. Success!

Introducing Cornerstone: A WordPress Theme for the IndieWeb

https://islandinthenet.com/introducing-cornerstone/

I think I have all the pieces set up and Umbrella is ready to go. It is a simple 11ty starter site that has IndieAuth, Micropub, and Webmentions built in using Netlify functions.

I've been using all of these pieces on my site for a bit but I wanted to put them all together in one place just in case it could help others start their own site.

Gah, why does it take so long to write a thing?

This was intended as a far longer and more comprehensive piece, but in the course of writing it (and debugging the build system it's documenting part of) I realised that I could improve the next thing I was trying to write about, so I found a more or less sane stopping point.

Expect more when I've ironed out the wrinkles in the next bit. Maybe.

I created a new #slashpage for my website that I like to call /pings, containing a list of blog replies and mentions to my own posts.

Basically, a sort of hand-crafted type of #Webmentions, or my version of the #CommunityEchoes @jedda and @immarisabel use, but implemented in my #Jekyll layout, using yaml metadata and #Liquid templating.

This is day 22 and post 24 of #Blaugust2025

#blogpost #blogging #webdev #blaugust

Dear #IndieWeb people

When using h-entry (or, honestly, #RSS even), is there anything people have been coalescing towards that’s kind of a push that says “hey have another look?”

For example, imagine the concept of an RSS reader but you don’t want the reader to have to poll.

I only know of #webmentions and #micropub here but idk if either of those is appropriate for this use case?

UPDATE: I have been informed about WebSub, which is exactly what I was looking for

We need an #RSS reader with "Reply" and "Repost" buttons. These actions would occur on a blog you connect with #Micropub or #XMLRPC, and use #WebMentions to notify the originating site.

I feel like geocaching should be implemented with web mentions

#geocaching #webmentions #indieweb #geocache #webmention #cache #web #mention #webDev #smallweb #posse

Hey @henry just saw your talk at #11tyConf, loving the energy! 🔥🔥🔥

Too bad you only had 11 minutes, I'm currently exploring #WebMentions and would've loved to hear about it more in-depth. Did you already blog about this, by any chance?

To everyone else, here's the talk I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/live/iLxJ6PtuF9M?si=qYE7qhAIbnAO92yk&t=8534

What did you use for your slides? For a moment I thought #iaPresenter 🤔

I’ve found myself wanting to check if a webpage supports webmentions while internetting, so I made a bookmarklet for it.

#Javascript #Indieweb #Webmentions #Bookmarklets

This weekend’s #indieweb tinkering on the #jekyll site:

- adding #IndieAuth
- adding #WebMentions

Wish me luck.

@janmon
I've been using #Webmentions in my blog, also hosted on GitHub, for some time now, but display them in the posts via JavaScript request. Your Pipedream solution gave me the impetus to revise my build solution for #Hexo Thank you and happy new year.

ActivityPub is tops, for all it’s flaws.

Skip #Nostr, too. It’s web3 cryptobros all the way down.

#Scuttlebutt seems interesting, but I haven’t done a deep dive.

I am a fan of #RSS and #WebSub, which give you many #ActivityPub features (except comments) for 5% of the hassle. You could say the same for #IndieWeb APIs, like #WebMentions and #MicroFormats, which are awesome, but the community seems even less organized than the ActivityPub community (if that’s possible)

@YurkshireLad

Having convos on what the story for #WebMentions / #ActivityStream integration will look like for #DistributedPress

Hoping to iron out a cool new #p2p social layer on top of your #dweb sites later this year!

One thing I love about working in #golang is the tremendous set of high-quality libraries already out there. My design philosophy for emissary.social has been to build to every standard and protocol out there. That is only possible because I don’t have to write #SSE, #MicroFormats, #WebSub, #WebMentions, etc all from scratch.

» :fediverse: Bridgy Fed turns your web site into its own #fediverse account, visible in #Mastodon and beyond. You can post, reply, like, repost, follow […] by posting on your site with #microformats2 and sending #webmentions. Bridgy Fed translates those posts to protocols like #ActivityPub and #OStatus, and sends interactions back to your site as webmentions.«

#IndieWeb

The rabbit hole goes deep. I started looking into #ActivityPub which branches out into many different standards itself (#Activities, #Actors, #webfinger and #jsonld, oh my!) and now I find myself exploring #webmentions and the #indieweb and #micropub and #microsub...
And I started out just wanting to build my own website that hosted my online ID...

I added our comments feeds to our feed list. Although I don't enable comments, the feed picks up our Webmentions and Refbacks.
