So apparently I’ve had Webmentions turned off all weekend. Oops. 😬
Inspired by @schmarty‘s #IndieWebSummit keynote, I’ve just hacked together a pair of iOS Shortcuts that will take URLs from Tweetbot, post them to my site as a Like or Repost, then syndicate back to Twitter automatically 🙌
“Hey pals 👋, Medium appears to be rightly getting a day of bad press and you might be thinking about publishing your writing elsewhere. I’ve got your back. I made https://t.co/zbTnt2ji0O, so you can have a self-published blog with a CMS in under 5 mins.”
Ermah gerd! Durbah!
I’ve been up since 5:30am, so I’ve been taking the time while everyone is still in bed to catch up on the #indiewebsummit keynotes. Great job by all involved! I’d love to listen to expanded versions of each of the presentations sometime 👍
This is really cool, and could be a great Discovery tool. I’ve had an idea kicking around my head for something similar; a directory of sorts, where sites opt-in via webmention. Any p-category tags in the webmention post would be used to classify the listing in the directory, allowing people to find sites by groupings. Add in some sort of Technorati-style search for an extra layer of power.
I’m teaching myself Laravel at the moment… this would make a good first project to prototype, I think.
