Summary
This PR adds support for syndicating blog posts to Mastodon using Bridgy's webmention publishing service. It includes a new GitHub Actions workflow to automatically send webmentions when posts are published, microformat markup for proper syndication, and webmention endpoint configuration.
Key Changes
New GitHub Actions Workflow (
syndicate-to-mastodon.yml): Automatically detects new or modified posts in thesrc/content/posts/directory, waits for the Netlify deployment to be live, and sends webmentions to Bridgy Publish for Mastodon syndication.Microformat Markup (
src/pages/notes/[...slug].astro): Added h-entry microformat classes to the post template:h-entryon the article elementdt-publishedon the publication datep-namefor the post titleu-urlfor the canonical URLu-syndicationfor syndication linkse-contentfor the post contentWebmention Configuration (
src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro): Added webmention and pingback endpoint links to enable receiving webmentions from other sites.Content Schema Update (
src/content.config.js): Added optionalsyndicationUrlfield to post frontmatter to track syndicated copies of posts.Implementation Details
The workflow waits up to 5 minutes for the site to be deployed before sending webmentions, ensuring the new content is live and discoverable. Posts are identified by their filename slug, and the syndication URL is constructed as
https://danmatthew.co.uk/notes/{slug}/. The microformat markup enables Bridgy to properly parse and syndicate the content to Mastodon.https://claude.ai/code/session_011QXNRDSYqNMS9wQQTTtJHx
