I love how Sia has implemented it on her static Eleventy site where she’s kept the UI nice and clean. I particularly like the way she’s done the design and layout and made it more like a call to action.
To take the Twitter actions a half-step further, she could URL wrap the word “liked” with the like action on Twitter.
In general, this reminds me a lot of the idea of webactions, though I don’t think that many have been experimenting with them as of late. Perhaps it’s because of the growth of Microsub-based feed readers that have built-in Micropub support?
Hat-tip:
Encourage users to retweet or share a post based on whether a Tweet already exists for your blog post. By me! #webdev #webmentions @eleven_ty https://t.co/00YZWlrXJO

Thanks!
I’ve noticed that Jacky Alciné has something on his website somewhat akin to this sort of functionality, but he’s leveraging both CommentPara.de and Quill to allow people to respond either anonymously (or not) using Webmention.

Cool!
Incidentally, I’ve heard some whispers in chat that a few people are considering discussing and iterating on the broader idea of web actions at a session at this weekend’s IndieWebCamp in San Francisco.
I can’t attend in person, but I understand there will likely bee some reasonable remote attendance options and live streaming of the sessions.
