I write regularly at https://werd.io - about tech, politics, the intersection thereof, and some personal stuff. I use Known, a platform I cofounded, which supports the Webmentions / IndieWeb ecosystem described in the article. https://github.com/idno/known
The known documentation makes it seem like you can just sign up for a play site with withknown, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore?

#165In the feed reader section of the article, he mentions an RSS reader, Feediary, which is already dead only months after he wrote about it: https://feediary.com/posts/2019-09-02-goodbye/
Since the demise of Google Reader, I've never found an RSS reader I'm entirely happy with. I hope someone does more to update the concept, perhaps with additional support for the Fediverse to fully use the features of projects like WriteFreely https://writefreely.org/

I use WordPress, which obviously has support for comments, and I've actually been thinking of turning them off. I get tens of thousands of spam comments every month (Akismet nukes 99.9999% of them) and the real comments I do get don't add a whole lot. I'm not sure they're worth the trouble. Perhaps just prominently feature your email address?
> Perhaps just prominently feature your email address? That's exactly what I'm doing right now :). Email address is not exactly as encouraging to reach out as a simple comment box, but I've had a hunch that the small possible upside is just not worth the hassle, and your experience seems to confirm that. Thanks!
+1 from me for only using an email address. I was using commento: https://commento.io/ which is quite small and can be imported via one line of java script.
However having comments encourages people to leave low-effort responses like "good article, thanks". Email-only provides a kind of filter for low-effort replies.

I use very similar tech stacks for https://loop-thesis.com and https://distilledjs.com. I should probably get around to setting up a Mastadon instance as well, but I'm not completely sure I want one yet.

[0]: I realize that some people would prefer full RSS feeds, but I just haven't had time to add one, and because the site has no tracking or JS requirements it's just not my highest priority right now.

Sure! https://www.ft.io I use the awesome Lektor static site generator and publish to Netlify, which is one of the best products I’ve used in a long, long time.
I like your site, especially your recent advice about making static websites. One question: I really like your Wave widget at the bottom of each page. How does the Wave mechanism work on the backend? It doesn't appear to send anything apart from setting a local cookie.
Thank you!
TL;DR Since I use Heap Analytics for basic user analytics stuff, I just use Heap's built-in click tracking mechanism to track "waves". Some ad blockers will block the analytics data from being sent — others let it through. It's been a while since I built that feature — I should probably update it to hide the widget altogether if you've got an ad blocker on.
As I wrote above, I use Netlify for hosting it, and I'd really prefer to use their analytics solution (more privacy centric), but it's a little too costly to justify for a personal site.
