busybee fluffy rambles Notes

Oh hey welcome to Seattle! How long are you in town for?

Also congrats on finding the secret garden. Lots of folks I know have lived here for years without knowing that was a thing. (I only found out about it a few years ago, myself, because I was bored on a day that the rest of the market happened to be closed for a holiday.)

Testing the other side

Looks like dougbeal is trying to restart the Homebrew Website Club Seattle chapter. This is my “definitely maybe” RSVP. :)

I’m seeing what happens when I generate a webmention to a protocol-relative URL.

Also seeing if webmention.io preserves fragments.

Ángel Orgeta:

Oh, yes, and it’s great; I just wanted something much simpler. I took a look at it, but some requirements (like my ATOM feed needing WebSub compliance, which I didn’t know the meaning of, and other things that I sincerely didn’t understand) made me wish for something more straightforward. I run my script on the same computer that stores my atom.xml file, so I have no need for download support and/or caching further than knowing the timestamp of the file.

Ah, just to clarify, WebSub isn’t required, it’s just supported — it’s just one of the things Pushl supports. I hadn’t considered offline support as something that someone might want, so for that use case Gruta is definitely a better choice.

I’ll consider making it more clear what’s optional in the documentation, since I can see that being a point of confusion!

Ángel Ortega:

I’ve written a script to add Webmention support for static sites. It’s available from:

That’s cool, but did you happen to see my tool Pushl that does the same thing? It has a few other features like feed autodiscovery, WebSub, and RFC5005 archive backfilling. And it’s pip-installable!
