Webmentions and IndieWeb

General Discussion
1

I went looking in the forum for any interest in IndieWeb because that is a community I am interested in, and found a reference to Webmentions in the discussion about removing Pingbacks.

As I am sure some people know, there is a full suite of WP plugins that enable various aspects of the IndieWeb protocols. I do not in fact make much use of them in my own ClassicPress site, although the bits I do use, such as Webmentions from Twitter, continue to work well.

I am not a developer and so could not help directly, but I invite anyone who might be interested in forking these plugins to drop by the IndieWeb discussion – which is also available via IRC, Matrix and Slack – to see whether there could be good opportunities.

My ClassicPress site is rather new but the testing I have done shows the Indieweb suite of WP plugins work well with ClassicPress.

There might be synergies for CP to have some level of contact with the folks at Indieweb.org

If possible, could you list the Indieweb plugins you use and work in CP? I think it would be helpful for others interested in Indieweb.

Also, if you ever chat with those plugin developers, I recommend asking them to mention ClassicPress compatibility in their readme.txt file. Beaver Builder readme.txt is a good example to show them. This way it’s easier to find CP plugins.

@viktor I did pass along your request to mention ClassicPress to one of the lead plugin maintainers and he said he would.
