About eighteen months ago, I tried enabling comments on the site by setting-up a public inbox at sourcehut. It hasn't proved very popular (actually, it received zero traffic) so I'm tearing that down & playing with webmentions. The first step is to begin marking-up my pages with microformats: bits of HTML that can indicate structure (like author, timestamp & so forth) to programatic consumers of the pages.

I'll probably post on this down the road, but for now the stock footer inviting commenters to e-mail the public inbox is gone, replaced with some (non-displayed) mark-up (h-card and h-entry, to begin with), any Webmentions the post has received, and an invitation to send your own.
