webmention

I love independent proposals, so next release of #snac will include support for Webmention. It's a protocol built on top of web standards and part of the IndieWeb. It helps web page maintainers and bloggers to know when one of their URLs are mentioned in other platforms by providing a webhook to receive notifications. In snac's case, all links written in a Fediverse post (directly or using the Markdown format) will be tested for Webmention endpoints and notified if they exist.

I don't know how many web sites out there implement Webmention (I guess very few), but given that it has been very simple to implement, here it is.

Long live the non-big-tech Internet.

#Webmention #IndieWeb

I realized something missing with most ATmosphere blog platforms: #IndieWeb #Webmention support, the successor to pingback.

The old pingback was a big factor that helped explode blogging in the late 90s and 00s.

I was considering adding web mentions to my blog, but then I remembered this very excellent post that says everything I am feeling. Go read it. Furthermore, my website is not a social network. Email exists, RSS feeds exists, I do not need to add anything else.
