Aaron Parecki (Aaron Parecki)Webmention is one of the fundamental indieweb building blocks. It enables rich interactions between websites, like posting a comment or favorite on one site from another site.

Aaron, this is a really useful introduction to the mechanics of webmentions. Am I right in saying that Brid.gy does the job of the HTTP request?
