• Jekyll
  • front matter at top of page, could add list of siloes to post to.
  • is there a way to avoid duplicates to republish when doing a build since all the pages get regenerated?
  • how to differentiate content and metadata updates?
  • side file to maintain state to avoid sending outbound webmentions during metadata only regeneration
    • hint: Rakefile can use timestamps to customize build scripts to see if page changed then process outbound webmentions
    • https://github.com/aarongustafson/jekyll-webmention_io has a Rakefile that can send webmentions based on a cache file that has links in post

• webmentions and posse sent to the micropub
  • has separate server runs micropub endpoint
  • microdata stored in html file
  • https://github.com/bear/kaku <-- example of a dynamic python app to handle webmentions and micropub
