<c​apjamesg#4492> I believe the spec says localhost is not a valid target?

You can use the .local DNS, or do it with IP and ports on 2 machines. Or 1 machine and 2 ports I suppose.

Lunarequest send a same-site webmention, ie from your local web server to your local web server

capjamesg spec says avoid localhost in prod, which is true, but you definitely want to allow it when testing locally etc since it's so useful for debugging. https://webmention.net/draft/#avoid-sending-webmentions-to-localhost

so it's a cloud hosting platform, functions/PaaS dinner like Lambda or App Engine or Vercel, so developers build their own applications, but they also advertise built in webmention and mf2 support, which I don't quite understand

<c​apjamesg#4492> I’m not sure about how the IndieWeb building blocks are used either.
IWSlackGateway, [aaronpk] and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek]
perhaps they have default templates that support them?

It looks cool but I'm also very confused what's behind the scenes of the cli. Like I'm not sure what the product is from the flashy website.
