# Static Blog Comments

All posts written without LLM assistance unless otherwise noted.

I had read about [IndieWeb](https://indieweb.org/), [webmentions](https://webmention.io/), and [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse) a few years ago and was very excited about it! It’s a monumental under taking and a great example of good (read: ethical) tech.

But I am not a web developer 🤣, and while I can appreciate what the engineers have accomplished, I was never too sure how to get it going, end-to-end.

I’ve been burning quite a few tokens while LLMs are still basically “free” ([see shellac’s analysis](https://she-llac.com/claude-limits?ref=wheresyoured.at)), so I decided to let Claude Code slop together a plan from the following resources, particularly the [posts by engineers](#updating-webmentions-on-a-static-site) that have implemented for their own static sites.

You can see this site’s [source](https://github.com/JPHutchins/interstellar-inclination) to see how the implementation went. I suppose it’s not tested until this post goes live and I see it federated.

Update: it’s working!
