5 years ago I'm very much into https://webmention.app because I know Remy has put a lot of good work into it. I think the trick with this feature is going to be similar to the pre-configured CMS—a way to make things easier for folks.
With that in mind, I'm thinking that we provide the following:
- A simple, accessible way to render processed webmentions on a page
- A way for users to add a link to their webmention at then end of an article (front-end only)
- Make sure the articles contain the right classes / micro formats
Basically, I think we should follow Max’s lead from this excellent guide: https://mxb.dev/blog/using-webmentions-on-static-sites/.
Hi Andy, you said you wanted help with webmentions - did you mean sending or receiving?
If you're going to send them, adding microformats-2 to the templates will make them work better - indiewebify.me will walk you through that. Then you can use a tool to send webmentions after the site updates - eg https://telegraph.p3k.io/ or https://webmention.app/ or https://mention.tech/
To receive them, if you don't want to run your own code you can use a tool like http://webmention.io, http://webmention.herokuapp.com or https://mention.tech/
