epeus··on Webmention: Simple web standard to notify any URL when mentioned across the web
There is of course a WordPress plugin for webmentions https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/
epeus··on Webmention: Simple web standard to notify any URL when mentioned across the web
I should say that both of those are static sites.
epeus··on Webmention: Simple web standard to notify any URL when mentioned across the web
You point the rel=webmention at the service, and then show the webmentions client side with js. Webmention.herokuapp.com example at kevinmarks.com Mention.tech example at tumblelog.xyz
epeus··on Webmention: Simple web standard to notify any URL when mentioned across the web
Using a hosted service like webmention.herokuapp.com webmention.io or mention.tech is an option for a static site, or running your own instance of one of these (they're all open source).

If you want to get replies working across the blogosphere, try brid.gy which has support for various blogging platforms. If you want to transform atom/rss to microformats, there's unmung.com If you want conversion between lots of formats there's https://granary.io/

You're very welcome to spend the time integrating this with your own site or other existing tech stacks.

epeus··on Ask HN: Which abandoned proprietary software would you resurrect?
Hypercard - specifically the version that was combined with QuickTime so that it understood audio and video media too, and ran on every OS.

There's no good excuse for this in a contact manager when we fixed it in vcard years ago https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350#section-6.2.7
epeus··on The Real Deal About rel="me"
more discussion of this in a fediverse context: https://pleroma.site/notice/3922993
epeus··on The Real Deal About rel="me"
Mastodon now publishes rel=me on profile links, so you can do bidirectional verification between mastodon and other rel=me publishers like github and wordpress, as well as your own site. https://xoxo.zone/@KevinMarks/100616472097157585
epeus··on From GNU social to Mastodon
Nazi ideology is explicitly about fucking with others. It is about separating people who they disapprove of and killing them. If you're trying to normalise Nazis, you are one of them, and the 88 dogwhistle doesn't look good.
epeus··on From GNU social to Mastodon
My tool unmung.com/mastoview let's you peek at local and federated timelines on other instances (by default the homepage view is federated, which is less useful in a large instance)
epeus··on From GNU social to Mastodon
You can do that with hashtags, but it is only going to show up within your instance's federation. Gnusocial has ! Groups which do propagate all posts, but mastodon didn't implement that bit.
epeus··on The Web We Lost (2012)
Perhaps you could link to the indieweb page above from your post, Anil? Or implement webmentions to show replies.
epeus··on Medium suspended our account and blocked access to all our published stories
If you like the medium editing you and want it for your own site, have a look at quill.p3k.io

You can put them on svgur.com and share them to twitter/fb

epeus··on The Indie Web movement (2013)
That makes no sense. Microformats 2 defines how to parse html into json form, and there are multiple implementations in different programming languages.

If you have problems with micropub, file issues with the spec.

epeus··on So long Disqus, hello Webmention
The webmention based hacker news indienews had this days ago. https://news.indieweb.org/en
epeus··on ActivityPub: a federated social web standard
Have a look at the related w3c spec WebSub that is designed to deal with this issue: https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/
epeus··on Webmention is a W3C Recommendation
This great news, webmention has been working well to decentralize commenting.
epeus··on How the Web Became Unreadable
If it hurts to look at your monitor set to white, turn down the brightness. Get some room lighting so it's not the only light in the place. Stop doing this to yourself, but don't ruin everyone else's readability because your screen is too bright for your conditions.
epeus··on How the Web Became Unreadable
I'm the author, and I like pure blacks too, but it's only pure black as long there isn't any other light on it. Thats what i meant about ambient light.
epeus··on How the Web Became Unreadable
Why are you throwing away so much of the gamut like this? You are ensuring that the best possible ratio is 10.9:1 rather than 21. Now, what happens if your user is outside and the ambient light on the screen makes what was dark much lighter? What happens when screen dimming kicks in and reduces screen brightness. You are likely designing on a very bright desktop monitor, effectively staring into a lightbulb all day. Turn down your monitors brightness instead of forcing everyone else to turn theirs up to match.
epeus··on How the Web Became Unreadable
If that's what you got from my article you didn't read it very well. Design is very important, and thoughtful designers will make good use of type. The cargo culting of design looks by people who don't understand them is much more of a problem.
epeus··on How the Web Became Unreadable
if you find black on white unpleasant to look at that likely means your monitor is too bright.
epeus··on IndieAuth: Sign in with your domain name
It is better than OpenID, and as a bonus it will proxy the OpenID protocol for you so you can sign into gnu social or blogger or other things that still use openid.
