Nov 6, 2026, 12:14 PM@florianziegler good post. I feel like webmentions, just like ActivityPub is extremely over-engineered for solving something so simple. I never managed to implement it properly in the past :(
But i would like to have that in my blog, both to send and receive.

@pcora Thanks. I think the receiving and sending is pretty straightforward. The parsing of the source page however is where it gets complicated, especially if the microformats markup is missing or broken or ambiguous. I am still constantly tweaking this part…
