Stephen Locker (sjlocks.com)Thank you, Jeremy, for helping me along on getting these tools figured out. Very few things about the web have excited me as much as learning about the IndieWeb work that has been ongoing.

Jeremy Felt (Twitter)Webmentions are so freaking cool and I've only dipped a toe in

We're building an open and humane alternative to Facebook
Type, "/@say/Your message here." after the end of any URL on my site and hit enter to leave a comment. You can view them here. An example would be,
http://superkuh.com/rtlsdr.html/@say/This is a comment.
I love how superkuh’s comment system works. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a set up like that. Very clever. I wonder how it’s done and why it’s not more widespread? Could it be dovetailed with something like Webmention somehow?

Scott Gruber (Twitter)Does @CraftCMS or @statamic support web mentions? #IndieWeb

There’s definitely a Webmention plugin for Craft which was written by Matthias Ott, but it’s only compatible with v2 and not v3.

There’s an IndieWeb stub page for Statamic, but no examples of usage yet.
I’m curious to hear what you think of them after playing a bit.
Hofstadter & Sander, on the role of analogy in our understanding of situations: pic.twitter.com/C0UdbCiXjX

In the case that the Twitter image doesn’t live, I’ll excerpt it here in more accessible text:
The fact is, the interpretation of a situation is inseparable from the analogies (or categories) it evokes. Our categories are thus organs of perception; they extend our physiological senses, allowing us to “touch” the external world in a more abstract fashion. They are our means of applying the richness of our past experience to the present; without them, we would flail about helplessly in the world.
—Surfaces and Essences: Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking by Douglas Hofstadter and Emmanuel Sander p.256 (Chapter 5)
A fascinating quote and a cool conceptualization of our ontologies.
curried apotheosis (Twitter)A frequently recurring product wish I have when interacting with issue trackers: labels that I can add to issues, and only I can see.

They're for my organization and tagging. That's it.
Not going beyond "me" is a *feature*.
I do something like this on my own website. Post issues there so I can own the data (and tags) and control the details and notes and syndicate a copy to GitHub. I’ve documented some of it here: Enabling two way communication with WordPress and GitHub for Issues. Others have done it as well: https://indieweb.org/issue. I’m sure there are other ways of doing this, but it works well for me and just for the reasons you describe.
If others want to see my details, the’re available on my site (when I make them public), but they’re primarily for my benefit and not others. The public copy conforms to the silo’s requirements and can be modified by the repo owners, if necessary.

Luis Gabriel Santiago Alvarado (gabz.me)I have been reading ‘Blogs’ for as long as I have been “surfing” the web (it’s that a term I can still use?), even if at the time I wasn’t aware of what I was reading was a blog. To me was probably just another website. Then I started to get more serious about it and read more of some pe...
I think? If you know how to send a Webmention, please do so that I know it works!
Congratulations on getting things up and running! Hopefully it wasn’t too complicated, though we could always use help as a community in making the UI and details easier. I know that David Shanske has been working on making a new pass to integrate Semantic Linkbacks into the Webmention plugin so that there’s only one plugin instead of two.
As you get more reactions via Webmention (especially if you connect Brid.gy to get responses back to your website via Webmentions from Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, Github, and Mastodon if you use them), you’ll likely want Semantic Linkbacks to facepile the smaller bits like favorites, bookmarks, likes, reads, etc. (I facepile all webmentions on my own site except for replies.)
You should be able to find the Semantic Linkbacks Settings in /wp-admin/options-discussion.php.

This is pretty awesome… I wonder how often the drive stops short just to underline the message?
A travel tip that’s helped me many times...
Trying out a potential new theme for my website in the new year. Perhaps something to tinker on a bit? May take a few days to iron out all the small bits, particularly for making it IndieWeb friendly, but out of the box it doesn’t seem too bad with some minor ports into a child theme.
