[tantek] https://onlinephp.io/ was amazing for quickly checking and narrowing down bugs in cassis

aaronpk i wonder if anyone has built a github action that can add webmentions to a static site
#
doesnm maybe it exist

#
[qubyte] Sounds like something I’d make, but I haven’t. It’d only do likes though. I prefer to check anything else. I use a netlify function as an endpoint, and it does some quick checks of the source and then uses the GitHub API to open an issue with some details of the mention.

[qubyte] Right now I use actions to schedule posts, update the copyright year, and convert and resize images.

perryflynn aaronpk: would be interesting how the state handling is solved. so that not on every build all pages sending notifications.
#
aaronpk classic SSG problem yeah
#
aaronpk but i was actually referring to receiving webmentions
#
aaronpk wasn't clear sorry
#
perryflynn maybe it could be extracts from the files changed depending if simple commit or pull requests.
#
perryflynn aaronpk: aaah, kk.
#
perryflynn I plan exactly that for my new interface. will add a webhook feature which triggers gitlab CI if a new mention was added to the APIs DB.
#
[aciccarello] perryflynn I use a netlify build plugin for webmention sending on my static site https://github.com/CodeFoodPixels/netlify-plugin-webmentions
#
[aciccarello] I know benji uses a Netlify serverless function for handling micropub. I imagine you could do the same for webmentions. https://github.com/benjifs/micropub

#
[aciccarello] I'm not sure that I'd want to do it that way though. Adding commits for every mention seems noisy.
#
[qubyte] For state I compare the atom feed before and after.
#
[aciccarello] I'm already using Indiekit so accepting mentions on that server would probably be a better fit for me. https://github.com/getindiekit/indiekit/issues/429
#

#
[qubyte] I do that in a netlify (for now) build plugin. Any thing new/changes/gone triggers dispatches.
#
[aciccarello] qubyte, are you using a public plugin?
#
[aciccarello] I've been wanting to add a diff check to the plugin I'm using https://github.com/CodeFoodPixels/netlify-plugin-webmentions/issues/4
#
[qubyte] My own code. Free to look at for inspiration.
#
[qubyte] Pretty scrappy code tbh. More work to do to shore it up and test it, but it does work. https://github.com/qubyte/qubyte-codes/blob/main/plugins/dispatch-webmentions/index.js
#
perryflynn [qubyte]: comparing feed is a great idea. 👍
[benji] joined the channel
#
[benji] I have a version of a serverless wm receiver. It uses netlify's blobs as key value store which does ok but havent had time to finish writing tests to switch to this yet.
#
[benji] For sending I use a post build netlify plugin that caches last sent and uses my fork of http://webmention.app to send: https://github.com/benjifs/benji/blob/main/plugins/send_webmentions/index.js

#
doesnm wait, how it possible to **receive** webmentions via actions?
#
[aciccarello] Thanks for sharing the code
#
[qubyte] You can’t receive by actions. You need a server of some kind (inc lambda-like functions).
