IndieWeb compatible events and RSVPs? #90

Open chilledtonic opened 1 year ago

chilledtonic commented 1 year ago

Considering gathio's compatability with the Fediverse, it seems natural to include indieweb compatibility as well.

Adding h-event microformats markup to event.handlebars would allow gathio events to be parsable in personal readers, and would make rendering the information on people's personal blogs automateable.

http://microformats.org/wiki/h-event https://indieweb.org/event

This would be incredible as a first step, but the next step would be being able to recieve and parse webmentions:

https://indieweb.org/rsvps https://indieweb.org/rsvp

Which would allow people to rsvp for events from their own blog. The first half I'd be happy to contribute if there's interest from project maintainers, but the second would require some discussion of how gathio handles rsvp's from the fediverse, etc, to make webmentions a possibility.

Food for thought.

I think this is a really excellent idea - I'm not hugely familiar with the Indieweb but I'd love to learn more about it, and I'm in favour of adding more ways for people to access events on Gathio. I'm happy for you to incorporate h-event microformats, and I'll have a think about webmentions if I have some free time in the next while. Thank you!
