Mentionable

An implementation of Webmention, a web standard for mentions and conversyions across the web. With mentionable, people can reply by sending webmentions for:

• commenting
• liking
• reposting
• mentioning / linking to
• quote

The h-entry specification provides for more types of reply, but these are what Mentionable currently supports.

Mentionable sets up an endpoint in your Rails app to receive these Webmentions, confirms that the reply actually links back to a page you've published, and stores replies in the database for you to display or use as you please.

Optionally, Mentionable can be configured to send Webmentions when content you create links to external sites. It does this by querying the link, performing Webmention endpoint discovery, and notifying sites that are set up to receive Webmentions.

You can configure one or more objects to be queried upon creation by telling Mentionable what they are and what method to check for links.
