_pi_r2_0[d] people of the static site generator camp, what kind of dynamic features have you missed / delegated to third-parties? indieauth, contact form landing in a mailbox, …?
# superkuh Totally possible to do that static.
# _pi_r2_0[d] @superkuh receiving webmentions how?
# _pi_r2_0[d] [tantek] I'm wondering how you'd feed back to the static build. maybe provide an API to pull what's been published and a webhook mechanism to trigger CI jobs on publication?
# superkuh _pi_r2_0[d], http://superkuh.com/blog/2020-01-10-1.html
# superkuh tldr: just log the POSTs.
# _pi_r2_0[d] Yeah that means exposing my logs to the build process
# superkuh Build?
# _pi_r2_0[d] Well if I want to display them
# superkuh Luckily my .html files need no build process. But yeah, not for everyone. Just saying it is possible.
# superkuh Displaying is a bit more than receiving. I can't imagine a possible static way to do that.
# _pi_r2_0[d] I'd share "storage" from the service through an API right
# _pi_r2_0[d] So the SSG could call into the API to retrieve what they want
# _pi_r2_0[d] Built a quick and dirty form to email service into my hosting platform tonight, and figure I could probably find other low hanging fruits. https://nothing.pcarrier.com/posts/form2mail/

# _pi_r2_0[d] Yeah… I like tackling probleme as they come. Designed and shipped the feature in 2 hours, didn't even put a spam blocker

# _pi_r2_0[d] hardened it a little (eg frontmatter uses TOML), also supports file uploads = attachments now

[KevinMarks] I use http://webmention.herokuapp.com on my static site

# 
[qubyte] Data point: I use a little function endpoint (hosted by Netlify, but think of AWS lambda because it’s basically a wrapper) that validates the mention, and then creates a GitHub issue with info on the repo for my site. Then I manually vet each and add it to the associated post in its front matter. Mentions are very low volume for me, so this works well. However, I’m thinking of some improvements to the process when microformats make it

# 
[aciccarello] For webmention notifications, I subscribe to the RSS feed of http://webmention.io in the IndieWeb slack
onla_ joined the channel
# _pi_r2_0[d] Yeah so I realize that's not an indieweb thing to say but I don't really care about webmentions
# _pi_r2_0[d] well, on the lookout for backend functionality to provide for static websites, this does feel like a good match
# [Joe_Crawford] There are no shibboleths required to be indieweb. It’s an agnostic religion, so ambivalence to webmentions is as valid as deeply believing in webmentions.

# capjamesg[d] And great use of shibboleths.
