I like this. I wish the underlying service was self hostable though.

It reminds me of Upvote Anywhere which adds related Reddit discussions on (almost) any site. - https://github.com/z0ccc/Upvote-Anywhere

Is it similar to https://github.com/z0ccc/Upvote-Anywhere?

Webmentions (webmention.io) are a way to bring social activity and interactivity to your site without having it on your platform itself or needing to have complex systems in place. Harness the activity, audience, and functionality from existing platforms.

async function getMentions(url) { let mentions = []; let page = 0; let perPage = 100; while (true) { const results = await fetch( `https://webmention.io/api/mentions.jf2?target=${url}&per-page=${perPage}&page=${page}` ).then((r) => r.json()); mentions = mentions.concat(results.children); if (results.children.length < perPage) { break; } page++; } return mentions.sort((a, b) => ((a.published || a['wm-received']) < (b.published || b['wm-received']) ? -1 : 1)); }

In the interim, I found myself pondering why every webmentions-on-Hugo solution I’d ever found up to now used JavaScript, rather than trying to do it purely in Hugo. After all, Hugo sports plenty of data-grabbing horsepower. For example: in my own experience to date, I’ve found Hugo's getJSON feature just as useful as the node-fetch on which the aforementioned JS relied to grab data from webmention.io.

One of the building blocks for such a system might be something like:
