@samim The W3C re-invents two-way hyperlinks https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ and "forgets" to even name the concepts inventor @TheTedNelson (Xanadu, 1960: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu#Original_17_rules ) (twitter.com/_/status/929421788894908416)

ajordan quick update: probably <1 hour until I ship outbound Webmention for my blog
#
ajordan or any other static site
#
ajordan :-)
#

#
ajordan aaronpk: thanks!! I'm super excited!
#

#
Loqi [strugee] lazymention: Support WebSub and Webmention on a static site
#
ajordan > lazymention is a daemon that you run on a server. When you publish to your static IndieWeb site, you ping lazymention, and it will poll your site, parse the microformats2 markup, and send Webmentions and WebSub notifications for content it hasn't seen before.
#
ajordan super simple to set up too, all you need is a host with Node and npm and a writable directory on the fs
#
aaronpk Awesome!
#
ajordan :)
#
ajordan btw, should I file a Webmention implementation report? I used a library for sending but the HTML/mf2 parsing and canonicalization I hacked together myself so
#
aaronpk Yea! Please do
#
aaronpk and WebSub too!
#
ajordan https://github.com/strugee/lazymention/issues/16!
#
Loqi [strugee] #16 File a Webmention implementation report
#
ajordan on my list now!
#
ajordan oh god I wrote this from 2 PM yesterday to ~3:30 AM and I'm finding *so* many mistakes, some of them in the test suite
#
ajordan what have I done
#
aaronpk oh dear lol
#
ajordan like the batch that tests *security* code had a trivial mistake in it where I forgot to modify a copypasta
#
ajordan I think it was racy and that's why it passed too
#
ajordan realizes that this isn't particularly confidence-inspiring and would like to note that he's *very* confident his project is secure
