sknebel heh, it's kind of funny that [snarfed] builds hackermention and like days later HN announces that they'll migrate to a new API at some point (which knowing HN probably means "in a few years at the earliest", but still)

Loqi [dang] In response to people's complaints about the usability of the HN Firebase API: yes. We're going to eventually have a new API that returns a simple JSON version of any HN URL. At that point we'll phase out the Firebase API, with a generous deprecation...

capjamesg [Jamie_Tanna] I tried to add a coffee emoji to my DNS records and Namecheap replaced it with ? in the dashboard.
#
capjamesg sknebel I saw that. I thought about emailing dang to say: why not mark up posts with h-entry? :D
#
capjamesg My reservation was maybe they want separation of concerns between the API and main site given I think they run HN on a single server.
#
sknebel capjamesg: I thought about that, but I feel like they dont really like messing with the frontend at all
#
sknebel especially since a bunch of community stuff probably works by parsing the page already
#
capjamesg I hadn't thought about that. Totally makes sense.
#
sknebel e.g. clients that allow logged-in operations need to do it

@mikevdev So currently I use a github issue based reply system on http://mikedv.dev. How would people feel if I transitioned this to a #webmention based reply system? This would mean that you could reply via twitter or github or possibly reddit (not sure yet). #webdev #dev #svelte (twitter.com/_/status/1562032686881021954)

@hmans ↩️ I love webmention! (twitter.com/_/status/1562044963961163777)
#
@mikevdev ↩️ So do I. I actually maintain a custom webmention receipt Library for nodejs. I already use it for likes but I do wonder if it's worth combining on blog posts and load less third party code. (twitter.com/_/status/1562047016934543360)

#
@mikevdev ↩️ By switching to webmentions I could use both twitter and GitHub but I wouldn't be able to have the comment box itself embedded on the page without a bunch more custom development. (twitter.com/_/status/1562057617773662209)

@localherodotbiz ↩️ How is Wordpress unhelpful? The plugin architecture is superb and there are probably more things that should be taken out of core than put in. Although replacing ping back/trackback with webmention would make sense. (twitter.com/_/status/1562131175254405120)

@charlesharries ↩️ caveat being how else can you directly @ someone unless they've got webmentions set up or an assiduously checked email address & plenty of free time (twitter.com/_/status/1562208634066673665)
