@marado This approach is fine, as long as you're aware that there is no way to _actually_ attribute the authorship of the line in the feed that is essentially being used to let (potentially) anonymous visitors to your site/blog add comments.
I've given this a lot of thought over the months and I _think_ the best way to solve for this in general over time is to a) Build support for micro.Pub into yarnd b) Add support for IndieAuth (as a consumer) and then build out an ecosystem of Javascript and whatever libraries and tools to support this use-case.
This way when someone makes a comment on a blog post or website, they are in fact logging into their feed on some pod (that you choose to use) and they are able to take that with them, or continue using it, etc.
Just my $0.20 worth π

We've had about ~20 or so new folks join Yarn.social / Twtxt in over the past ~2 weeks or so π₯³ Its not as many as Mastodon's ~70k new folks, but its still _non-zero_ π€£

@maya "The Cloud" is still someone else's computer or bunch of computers. The important point here is data locality, data security and authenticity.

@marado So I did π
So the simplest way to do this is to just either use yarnc post or the API or even just write a line to your feed that announces your blog post. Use that as the Yarn/thread to place comments again π
The "scope" will blow out when you want to do things like:
- Allow arbitrary internet users to comment, so you'd have to do something around identity and maybe creating ephemeral feds for them.
- Searching for previous comments and displaying them.
Although the 2nd point is probably not so bad, just have to get integrated search into pods now that search.twtxt.net is _mostly_ done π (still needs an API I reckon? π€)

@lyse I guess I'm missing something important here... Like if you have 365 photos/images as input, I'm not exactly sure what the output is? A set of web pages? Normally when I think of a calendar I think of a diary that helps remind me of what's coming up that's important to remember...

@hashrock Oh π€£ I mean I'm open to _many ideas_ that make Yarn.social different π
For example we've talked about some kind of "events" thing before, it has a number of blockers though, so we're not quite there yet... One of the guiding principles of course is that we remain decentralised with a self-hosted focus. That means anything we build should be fully decentralised, capable of running on your own pod/instance and generally useful to the wider ecosystem in some way.
