I know! I mentioned it to @nystudio107 too myself when I first saw it. 😅

i also saw every episode tracks mentions on twitter which is super cool. any idea how they do that apart from manually scraping?

So this is using WebMentions & Bridgy; we blatantly stole the idea from @zachleat
I tweeted how to do it via Twig here: nitter.vloup.ch/nystudio107/stat…
Also @mxbck did s writeup on how to do it here: mxb.dev/blog/using-webmentio…
✅ Craft CMS tip 🎉 You can perform external API queries and decode the JSON response all via Twig:
{% set res = craft.app.api.client.get(url).getBody().__toString() | json_decode %}
…like querying webmentions 🎩 @zachleat @mxbck #craftcms mxb.dev/blog/using-webmentio…

…and here's mine about how to do it with @gatsbyjs and @Netlify knutmelvaer.no/blog/2019/06/… (also blatantly stolen, like all great art)

i tried setting up webmentions today. one thing that felt broken was the crawling only turned up like 40 things and it didnt feel like it was going to scale to 1000's of webmentions (more likely the real number)
is there a trick to get bridgy/webmentionsio to crawl everything?

IIRC it only crawls the last XX days of Twitter mentions in each scraping, so it'll work if you just let it ride... but not retroactively.

oh but mine is just focused on twitter and doing a onetime historical crawl i guess. still would rely on bridgy for new stuff, hopefully it doesnt drop that.

ahh ok so leaving trails for future people tearing their freaking hair out... there is are 2 undocumented query params that webmention.io amusingly fails to mention...
github.com/maxboeck/eleventy… a "page" and "page since" param
s/o to @brob for the save

Sorry, the docs on webmention.io are meant more as a quickstart. The readme on GitHub has the full details github.com/aaronpk/webmentio…
If you think that'd be better on the website please send a PR!
