What is webmention?
#
Loqi
Webmention is an open web standard (W3C Recommendation) for conversations and interactions across the web, a powerful building block used for a growing distributed network of peer-to-peer comments, likes, reposts, and other responses across the web https://indieweb.org/webmention
#

What is a static site
#
Loqi
A static site is a website that serves pages directly from files on the web server, which have often been previously generated by static site generator software only when created or updated, instead of for every request https://indieweb.org/static_site
#
[aciccarello]
(continuing from #indieweb): I have some details on how I manage webmentions in my Colophon page https://www.ciccarello.me/colophon/

bread: you could also look at webmention.io, it would be a third party receiving the webmentions (keeps you static) and then you can inject them either with JavaScript or when you regenerate.

What is webmention.io?
#
Loqi
webmention.io is an open-source project and hosted service for receiving webmentions on behalf of your indieweb site https://indieweb.org/webmention.io
#
bread
ok! ty
#
bread
if i sign up for webmention.io service, do i still need to host morris?
#
bread
morris as in for storing mentions in json format
#
bread
i think i understand it a bit more. so webmention.io is a self-hosted service that runs alongside of my static site. and i need to host webmension.io service somewhere myself...
#
bread
am i right?
#
[aciccarello]
You don't need to self host it
#
[aciccarello]
A community member runs it
#
[aciccarello]
And then you can get the list of mentions either at build time or client side

what is cinnamon
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "cinnamon" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "cinnamon is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
perryflynn
what is aperture
#
Loqi
Aperture is an open source Microsub server developed by Aaron Parecki https://indieweb.org/Aperture

I missed some these clients mentioned on aperture and cinnamon when I looked for pub/sub clients. will try some of them out. thanks. 👍️
#
doesnm
aperture and cinnamon are servers. But cinnamon are server+client
#
doesnm
microsub are not widely implemented :(
#
perryflynn
"together" looks interesting for example. Writing is not big of a deal IMHO. But I look for something to manage incoming replies and approve/answer them comfortably.

Goal is to be 100% independent, that's why I didn't started with webmention.io und Co.
