just a small update: i've added microformats & webmention support to this blog! i've wanted to do this for a while, being a big fan of h-cards and putting them wherever i can on my personal sites, but this blog was the only place i could use h-feed, and i just hadn't gotten to implementing it until now. i love that i'm now able to see my terrible markup through this awesome microformats viewer extension, at least. it makes me feel kinda proud.
the implementation is a little wonky, but hey, i'm working from a hand-rolled rails-built blog over here lol. (by the way, yes, this is a terrible time to have anything built with ruby and/or rails, i'm well aware.) it's not as easy as it would've been on a statically generated site, for sure— i had to use a web component to display webmentions, and i don't even know if it works. it was either that or spending my day figuring out how to do it in this messy code-base and i did not want to do that lol...
i have my own indieauth endpoint through a self-hosted instance of cellar door, so that's how i'm logging into webmention.io and collecting webmentions. i actually don't know if it's working, so... time to use this post as an excuse to test it!
earlier today on fedi, i shared a post i came across that talked about some fortune files made from classic twitter shitposters. being a fortune file fiend, i had to post about it, and the lovely tozka mentioned it in xyr latest link roundup! so: hi tozka, thanks for the shout out! i'd love to explain the fortune program to you sometime!
