Static Blog Comments

JP Hutchins implemented webmentions and Fediverse federation on their static blog using Claude Code to generate a plan from existing resources, enabling comments and cross-posting. The site now federates and receives replies via Bridgy Fed, with a GitHub Actions workflow for updating webmentions.

Static Blog Comments https://www.crumpledpaper.tech/2026-06-21-hello-fediverse JP Hutchins / 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.
