i've added webmentions, i think
I wrapped up my module for this week early today and didn't know what to do with my freetime. I tried Paralives for a bit, but honestly the life part of life sim is still lacking a bit. Then I remembered that I had pulled up this post about webmentions from bubbles.town earlier today. Now, I tried implementing webmentions before, using just the docs I found, and it kinda exploded my site. I'm hoping that it will actually deploy this time since I've been at it for a few hours. Brennan's guide is pretty straightforward, my only trouble was getting dotenv to work with 11ty.
For my config file I needed to add:
import 'dotenv/config'
Most places online recommend:
require('dotenv').config()
However, that wasn't working due to how my eleventy.config.js file is setup. If you stumble across the same problem, I hope that helps. Conversely, if my fix is a huge no-no, please let me know!
In addition, I followed Brennan's guide to setup Bridgy. I'm curious to see if it works when this posts.
As my degree is finally winding down, I hope to be on here more often, building and updating pages.
Until then, see ya next time!
