💎 WebMentions for Gemini

This section is a hub is for my thoughts on designing a Webmention-esque protocol for Gemini/Titan, and its compatibility with existing the existing Webmention protocol.

Webmention is an open web standard for conversations and interactions across the web.

Webmention has been designed to allow conversations to take place across sites without relying on a single central point. It's vaguely similar to pingbacks that existed about a decade ago, but supports much richer interaction (likes, replies, bookmarks, etc).

Webmentions for Gemini

Implementation of a similar protocol for Gemini is possible with the existing standards and tools at our disposal. This section of the capsule serves as a hub for my efforts to implement such a system, along with its documentation.

Goals

The main goals of this project will be:

Gemini-first specification, that works similar to Webmentions.
Compatibility with HTTP Webmentions (implemented via proxy).

High-Level Thoughts

These are my initial thoughts.

Implemented mainly with Titan.
Gemini publishing software will need to make Titan requests to send the mentions.
We need a way to identify mention endpoints in Gemtext AND HTTP.
