Homebrew Website Club
welcome to the fortnightly Homebrew Website Club - if we have demos of new things, lets see them
this is woodwind.xyz my reader - when it detects that a post is an event, it adds 'interested' 'going' 'not going'
so I can see the events on indiewebcamp.com and go through accepting and replying them
@aaronpk asked me for this thins week, I'm not sure why
well, Aaron is demoing webmention to the w3c next week, so he wanted more examples
brid.gy has added a decent amount since I was last here - user mentions and link searches and sends those too
brid.gy extends webmentions to the social networks so if people reply on twitter or facebook you see those too
tumblr switched to a link redirector like twitter's, which broke things and we ahd to rewrite
tantek took his twitter account private, which revealed a lot of extra cases fro us to handle
I found that having private posts meant people tweeted links to my site instead of retweeting
we also added lots of microformats to the brid.gy user page and so it acts as an api
we also added syndication of video to facebook and twitter, which tantek has been using
we applied for permission to the new Instagram API, so we will have to switch to scraping html
brid.gy costs 2-4ยข per user per month - we found that there were slow things which we improved
Kyle found some slow parts in mf2py, and improved it but there may be more to do
if you know what the final url looks like, we don't follow redirects; but we do that now
there is sgnodemapper that does that as part of the old social graph api - we should revive it
suprfeeder crawls a lot of websites and now we sendswebmentions from a lot of pages on the web to you
webmention.herokuapp.com keeps a thread open so if I webmention on my static site, the comment appears in real time
I've been expanding http://mention-tech.appspot.com/ to accept fragmentions as well, and show them as quotes
it also can show the post comments in context for the posts as it caches the jf2 from the source
because mention-tech accepts wm's to and from anything http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-03-09/line/1457580062556 shows in http://mention-tech.appspot.com/listmentions?target=http%3A%2F%2Fmention-tech.appspot.com
