Notes on Webmetions for Twtxt
  • Should webmention only be send on specific @mentions?
  • Or also unaddressed replies to a conversation?
  • And then only to OP or all known contributions?

Receiving - what is needed:

  • Render accepted/cached WMs in a separate twtxt.txt make it a private(?) bot
  • Add (and formalize) web = https://example.com/timeline.html in the twtxt.txt to have a place for the client to look for the the URL of the endpoint

Sending - what is needed:


Explicit @mentions only:
  • On the senders webpage (or yarnpod) there needs to be a link back to the recives webpage/pod.
  • Should the webmentions  just be between the two twtxt.txt file like this:
curl -i -d "source=http://alice.com/twtxt.txt&target=http://bob.net/twtxt.txt" https://webmention.io/bob.net/webmention
  • Or should it be to a  web-render of the specific twts with the twthash in the URL like
curl -i -d "source=http://alice.com/twt/qwertyui&target=http://bob.net/post/asdfghjk" https://webmention.io/bob.net/webmention

TARGET:
  • There need to be a link on the sender's domain contain the twthash of the OP post?
  • or just a link containing the full path to twtxt.txt of the receiver as a query parameter?
  • Or just a link to the raw twtxt.txt

SOURCE:
  • needs to contain the twthash of the new post, so it is possible to link back and approve it
