A post with a bit of preamble about how link backs work and a release of a plugin for Pelican for sending Webmentions.

I migrated my site from Jekyll to Hugo. Indieweb-ifying Go templates is a heck of a lot easier than the pain of using Liquid. I also moved all of my old comments from Disqus to a static blob of JSON, using a forked version of Paul Hammant’s escape_from_disqus. How I handle new comments (non-Webmention or otherwise) is to come, but Tom Doe’s approach using Netlify Forms seems pretty neat.

Thanks to https://wwwtech.de for all of his work on the Microformats2 library, of which this library is based on!https://hexdocs.pm/indieweb/0.0.46

This is my entry for the quiet hour during the homebrew website club meetup this week. I’ve come across some interesting posts and wrote some thoughts I’d like to share with people.

For example, in this screenshot of my future site, I can have each section be determined by a property of a larger h-entry. The main text could be the e-summary, the headline ...

Nothing I disagree with in this one. I wish I could convince more people of this.
